Hi... <br><br>I have attached a quick mock-up of what a simple operation in Kdenlive's editor would look like. <br><br>I have shaded the areas I have shortened.... One could conceivably add two keyframes next to each other and drag them apart for freeze frame.... I don't know how to do a backwards video here.... drag a keyframe past it's neighbour?<br>
<br>Maybe shading the shortened or lengthened area would give an indication of how much speed has been applied. <br><br>In any case, it uses less screen space and is more intuitive than bezier curves... Most people see time as a line, and want to stretch and fast forward that line?<br>
<br>It was just an idea in any case... But my videos end up looking like that anyways, as speeding up "shortens" a clip, and so on....<br><br>-Evert Vorster-<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Sun, Apr 4, 2010 at 7:22 PM, Evert Vorster <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:evorster@gmail.com">evorster@gmail.com</a>></span> wrote:<br>

Hi Evert,<br>
<br>
You mean something like that? ;)<br>
