Forgive me if this elementary question is coming way too late. I can not seem to find a way to clear or remove IN and/or OUT points in Kdenlive. Can someone help explain this to me?
Hi @Jerry_Earley, and welcome to the forum and community.
You can set them using I and O or by clicking on the respective button/icon. If you create an IN and OUT at the same position, it is essentially cleared/removed.
What is your use case exactly?
Thank you for your very fast response. I appreciate the time you took to respond. Being an old guy with his start on an old tape to tape convergence editor, I like to edit with three points rather than flood my timeline then trim. So sometimes I need to clear an IN or an OUT to reset an edit. Is there a work around if there is no clearing IN’s or OUT’s?
Have you looked at the docs on 3-point editing?
Is there something you need that isn’t described there?
For the kind of projects I normally work on, this hasn’t been a workflow I’ve gravitated toward, but I know we have some working professional editors using this, and support for this was designed under their advice - so I’d have guessed it was feature complete for that use, but if it somehow isn’t we should look at that.
[edit: the following is from one of the people who drove the current implementation design]
Our system has 1 basic difference: we don’t have IN OUT points for 3 points editing and IN OUT to set the rendering area.
In Kdenlive we use the same object for both functions. For this reason we have a button to enable/disable the timeline zone for the task. Instead of removing the reference points you just disable the zone use. This has the advantage to preserve a set area and be able to work on the edit-line/cursor reference only without the needs of cancelling the zone as it is not actually possible.
Hope that helps, but if you still need more we should discuss it further.
