It is very simple to make a zone in a clip, or in the project, using play/pause and the start/end buttons. It can be quite accurate. But then what do I do to cut something out which I've just 'zoned'?
I can't work it out in the short time i need to do it. With Avidemux it is very simple, just set the points and CTRL-X.
Couldn't kdenlive have a button to remove the zoned part? As far as I can see setting a zone is only used for adding part of a clip to the project. clicking the razor tool on the project clip takes away accuracy in my opinion.
I have tried and cutting out a tiny fragment takes a lot.. setting a zone, going to the start of it (no button to do that only Shift-l) presing x, clicking on the marker, going to the end of the zone, clicking on the marker, change to select tool, delete, then remove empty space, and you better zoom in too or else the razor tool will miss the marker. Much too much work!
and one more thing, what is the use of making a zone in the project monitor if u can't remove that part?
thanks
so that means the use of the start/end zone is only useful for what you want from a clip, its no good for taking out something you don't want.
If I have a 3min clip and I need to take out a few 1sec parts because of a smear (like avidemux has kindly done for me) its no use selecting all the before that 1sec part, drag it to the tree, then select all the after part and drag it over as well, that will be more time consuming. I just need to cut out a part by using the start/end frames because that's much more precise than using the razor tool, unless you zoom in and point the mouse a lot.
I might just end up with the razor tool on zoom, as the rendering of kdenlive is so powerful. But to have this feature of cutting part of a clip out by the start/end markers it would be ideal!!!!
