Advanced Editing in the timeline

Topic Benefit Description
Advanced editing in timeline 🎥 – Users of other professional video editing applications are familiar with the editing workflow from other programs. Editing includes both trimming and 3-point editing. Improve trimming of clips directly in the timeline whereby adjacent clips are trimmed as well, and inserting/(re-)moving clips on the timeline. See also #225

Questions

  • Are operations clear to understand? (which target track, IN/OUT points, short tutorial with pictures)
  • Are operations easy to find?

Tools

Current status: Clip operations can be chosen with a shortcut, which then affects the selected audio/video track. Or by using the mouse after choosing the timeline mode (e.g. insert mode) from a dropdown – in that case, audio is not moved to the selected audio track but to the audio track with the same number as the video track (bug?).

Name Status Description
Insert ✔️ Insert clip and move following clip material to the right
Extract ✔️ Remove clip and move following clip material to the left
Overwrite ✔️ Replace section in timeline by clip
Lift ✔️ Remove clip from timeline, leave following clip material where it was


Questions:

  • What should happen in insert mode when moving a clip which is already on the timeline? Currently it behaves as if a new clip was inserted.
Status Description
✔️ Set IN and OUT point in clip and insert it in timeline
? Set IN and OUT point in timeline and add clip there (starting at clip's IN point)

Other ideas

  • Snap cursor to clip boundaries in the timeline, e.g. when holding Shift → workflow: Snap to end of a clip, then insert clip there with V in insert mode
  • Also support 4 point editing?
