[Kdenlive-devel] editing by left/right arrows ...

[Reinhard Amersberger]

Hi,

right now I noticed a really cool behaviour, but I don't know if this is intended ...

This is the normal functionality ...

but this change after moving a clip edge by the mouse, so now I can step through frames of this clip by the arrows and this is PRETTY COOL!!! ... because this could be enhanced to offer very precise trim actions when the clip edge would be synced with the actual frame just like ...

- select on of the edges of a clip to move them by the left/right arrows forwards/backwards one frame ... one special mode could allow creating gaps by this action and another don't.

- select the right edge of a clip and the left edge of the following clip to move them together by the left/right arrows forwards/backwards one frame ...

- select both edges of a clip to slide this clip left right ... or slip in another special mode ...

I think maybe this is good food for thought ...

greetings
Reinhard
