--- Comment #2 from Uwe Dippel <[email protected]> --- Thanks for asking. Quite often, I receive files with minimal editing required: Just lead and trail need to be cut off, though at a precision of e.g. one frame. My current processing is loading the files into kdenlive, dragging to the timeline, cut at those two locations, remove the leading and trailing parts, remove spaces, and re-render. With my usually long clips of around one hour, this takes considerable, unnecessary time. Plus eventually loss of quality, when no rendering is necessary at all. Depending on the inner workings of kdenlive, it might be possible within kdenlive (??), if one could simply 'export' (in the sense of cut and paste) one slice of the timeline, without any need to render. UI-wise something like "Save this slice as file". Likewise, at times I take a note of the two points in the timeline, where the original file needs cutting, write them down on a piece of paper, close kdenlive, fire up ffmpeg and insert these cutting points as ffmpeg parameters. For this, the UI could display the editing actions (here: points of cut on demand). The project bin already shows a count of editing actions, and then it might be possible to just list those for an easy export, so that I could write a small utility that reads the input file, the exported modifications list of kdenlive (e.g. a text file containing something like "cut at 00:56:38.12"). Should anything not yet be clear, please ask! -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
