Trimming

Trimming in the timeline

Status

  • It is explained clearly what the feature is supposed to do
  • Same-Track-Transition has to be implemented first
  • It is clear how this can be implemented in Kdenlive

Intro

Inputs:

  • https://kdenlive.org/en/video-editing-applications-handbook/#trim
  • Café 42 inputs

Questions:

  • Is trimming by mouse needed/convenient?
    • Dragging the clip in slip/slide mode would probably feel intuitive, as would dragging the edges in roll/ripple

Summary

Trimming functionality consists of different parts:

  • The logic to apply the different operations in the timeline (setting new IN/OUT points for the clips etc.)
  • The user controls for using the trimming tools. This includes keyboard/mouse control, buttons, menu entries.
  • The clip monitor which shows the relevant IN/OUT points of affected clips (up to 4)

Workflow:

  1. Select which clip should be trimmed
    • For mouse, this is usually done with either special positions on the clip or with special mouse tools
    • For keyboard, the selection is usually controlled with the timeline cursor position and the active track and the activation of the trimming tool
  2. Choose a trim tool
  3. Trim the clip
