HOWTO - KDENLIVE Pt 2

how they change your clip(s), and

in no time you’ll have amazing

looking clips merging into one

another.

Before finishing out this part,

I’d like to show you how to quickly

trim a clip. Let’s say you have your

perfect scene, but before the main

scene, it shows (let’s say) you

putting the camera down, and

then, at the end, it shows you

picking the camera up again.

Ideally you want to remove the

intro and ending from that clip to

leave only the steady perfect shot.

What you can do is drag the entire

clip into the video timeline, then

play/scrub through the video until

you find where you want the clip to

start. Stop there. Now, if you hover

your pointer of the start of the clip

you’ll see a green glowing arrow

appear. Drag that over to where

you want your start to be. You’ve

now trimmed the junk from the

start.

Now do the same at the end.

Voila! The perfect clip.

Here’s a nice tip, and something

for you to play around with until

next time. Many video shots are

handheld and quite shaky. Right

click on a clip (in your top left

window), and choose Stabilize >

Videostab. It can take some time to

complete (a little progress bar will

appear over the clip thumbnail), so

do it only on short clips for now.

If there’s anything you’d like to

see covered in this series, please

Next month, we’ll add some

titles to our video.
