keyframes won’t snap on playhead on timeline even tho I have the Snap enabled. That gives me a hard time to align them with the playhead.
And I have no easy solution.
I know that the effects have their own timeline and you can “move selected keyframe to cursor” but if you cannot zoom in on the effects timeline that’s no use for me. That’s how my effect timeline looks like:
It would be great if they could snap on the playhead or at least there was a “move selected keyframe to playhead” button also.
It would be good if I could add a keyframe on the first frame so I can keyframe the effect. Sure I can add a keyframe later but sometimes I forget.
Wouldn’t it be great if everything was keyframed by default?
Who wouldn’t want that?
I know that no other video editor have that, but that’s how you make a difference.
Imagine the news: Kdenlive! The first video editor that doesn’t think that it’s a photo editor.
Drag the slider? That’s cool I didn’t know that. Thanks
So I mean is that I use the transform effect. On that effect you don’t need to manually add keyframes, you can just click on the monitor and pan. But you need to keyframe on the second keyframe in order for the effect to be keyframed…which I sometimes forget to do. So it would be better if I could keyframe on the first.
That’s not what I meant. I don’t care about the effects that miss keyframes…you got a lot of effects anyway. I mean not having to add keyframes on any effect. Just move the dials and keyframe added. I know that other video editors do that but on them you still have to set the effect to keyframe to begin with. I don’t even want to do that.
I’m still not following what you’re trying to say here … gimme a step-by-step - because I can use the monitor controls to control any keyframe (and add or remove them).
[ed. Oh … you mean not doing exactly the feature I described below?
Yeah, you can forget to add another keyframe sometimes - but it’s also not that hard to add one where you want it after you realise that, then reset the first keyframe to the starting defaults?]
You can double click on a position in the clip, or in the monitor to add or remove keyframes that you can interact with by dragging them.
I’m not sure that it would be a good idea that every time someone fat-fingered on the wrong control it silently added a keyframe - and that would make it impossible to adjust the first keyframe (before adding any others) while viewing any arbitrary part of the clip, because doing so would add a keyframe to a clip that you might not even want keyframed at all.
If the extra click to deliberately add a keyframe is really your biggest burden here, you’ve got a lot less problems than you had last week!
