Cropping video using timeline #150

Closed avanlex closed 1 year ago

avanlex commented 2 years ago

It is difficult to set the video cropping time. You have to calculate the start time and end time of the video in Excel using the duration (cropping range = start time + duration). In addition, the combobox for selecting accuracy does not affect the time setting when using the mouse, but only when using the keyboard. The scenario is as follows: you need to select the accuracy, then click on the slider slider, and then move the slider using the keyboard arrows to the right or left. Please replace the sliders with two text input fields: start time and end time in the form of HH:MM:SS

What data would you like to be shown precisely?

Yes, it is also reported in the tooltip: Set the amount of steps the slider moves using 'UP' or 'DOWN' arrow and 'UP' or 'DOWN' page, to quickly set a more accurate time selection That's not a problem, at least for me. Unfortunately it was not possible for me to influence the actions of a mouse as well.

I would only do this if there were dedicated controls for the purpose, a couple of text fields aren't enough; if I have the time to create something I will.

In the meantime, I'm developing this workaround:

timeline

That button would display this control dialog
