Precise sub clip timing. #70

Closed BuyMyMojo closed 2 years ago

BuyMyMojo commented 2 years ago

An option to manually enter timing for the start and end of a sub clip would be useful for grabbing specific clips without trying to click and drag exactly where you need.

A little bit of an odd example: I use MPV to find the start and end of clips I want to make because of it's snappy frame by frame progression that also shows the time code at each frame. Being able to set a sub clip's start and end to exactly 00:11:02.934 - 00:11:27.617 would be a nice level of extra control.

You're using mpv here too!

The feature you're talking about is I think already in

It takes a few possible formats but the one you describe is the standard one:

That is perfect for adding new sub clips thank you! Being able to edit already created ones without remaking it would be nice too

I'm not sure textual input is needed for adjustments, you can zoom in on the timeline with mousewheel (or ctrl-mousewheel for faster zooming) after having clicked on one of the end handles (the blue or red rectangles with dots) arrow keys (or ctrl+arrrowkeys or ctrl+shift+arrow keys) allow progressively finer steps of a single endpoint all the while displaying a white seek pointer and the timecode down to the fractional second:

I'd note that those end handles, and the whole clip is draggable to coarser visual adjustments.
