    The following topics are covered in this video:
    - Trimming clips by dragging the edges
    - Splitting clips in the Split Clip dialog
    - Slice All (cut all clips along the playhead red line)
    - Slice (cut a specific clip along the playhead red line)
    - Clip properties (to adjust start, end, and position)

      When splitting, you can't click the progress bar. You need to click the time marker and then move it, also, this pauses. So finding the spots to split feels like doing a surgery. Then I go to "export video".
      I click save and it's asking me required advanced information about the start/end frames. Like wtf, can i just save the fucking video I'm asking to save.
      So I put Start at 1 and End at 100.
      It's been not-responding for 10 minutes.

    Thank you, Jonathan for making Openshot. Also for making these easy to follow videos - you are a good teacher too. This 8 minute video was worth it since I am a beginning user and was getting frustrated using the razor tool (since that was the only obvious method). At one point I thought i need to check for a tutorial. So many better ways which will save me a lot of time

    I'm 45 and I've NEVER ever worked with - or used in any possible way - graphics and editing. Not talented in drawing, never had to edit a video, not a single frame.
    But I've found some old videocassettes with videos I wanted to keep, brought them to a guy near here and I've obtained lots of vob files. After converting them with a tool I needed to adjust split and edit them.
    In literally F I V E minutes I've managed to find all the methods Jonathan explains in the video, BEFORE watching it. I watched this to learn how to save single cuts into MP4 files and other saving methods, still very new at this.
    Anyway thank you. VERY powerful tool, very reliable and it really makes the job easy, actually it's TOO easy for a program of that kind, I was very surprised considered I've downloaded not one but some apps for this task and most of them were uninstalled without being able to proceed to step 2: editing after opening a file

    @summondice Před 4 lety +1

    I just started using this software tonight and have never done any video editing before in my life (though I've done some audio editing and that was invaluable in picking up on this software) and absolutely LOVE the razor tool. I get around the imprecision by placing the cursor precisely where I want and adding a marker, then using the razor to hit that spot :) It works quite nicely (for what I'm doing anyway, which is just editing a monologue type of thing) that way :)
    I would absolutely love it if you added a hotkey command to switch between the razor and the compass-looking-default-thing, and a quick way to force all tracks to align with the red line without cutting off any part of them. Like "align all tracks to start here" type of thing.
    More hotkeys, please!!!! :-D I live and breathe by them!
    And thank you thank you thank you thank you SO MUCH for this software. You are amazing!!!!
