Clip in Timeline - Right-Click Menu

This is the context menu that appears when you right-click on a clip in the timeline. A different menu appears if you click in empty space in the timeline.

  • Copy will copy the clip and selected clips to the clipboard.
  • Paste Effects will paste only the effects of the last copied clip to the selected clip.
  • Delete Effects will remove all effects from the selected clip.
  • Edit Duration - will open the Duration Dialog and will allow you to adjust the position of the clip int he timeline, what time point of the source clip to start on the timeline, the duration of the clip, and what time point of the source clip to end on the timeline. Note that Kdenlive will automatically adjust co-related values.

  • Restore audio will add any audio track that is part of the original clip to the timeline
  • Disable clip will disable the clip so it will not render in the project monitor or in a final video render.
  • Extract clip will remove the clip from the timeline and the space it occupied.
  • Set Audio Reference and Align Audio to Reference are used to align two clips on different tracks in the timeline base on the audio in the tracks. This is useful if two cameras recorded the same scene simultaneously. Kdenlive can use the almost identical audio track to align the two clips.
    To use this feature:
    • Select the clip that you would like to align to.
    • Right click, select Set Audio Reference.
    • Select all the clips that you would like to get aligned.
    • Right-click and select Align Audio to Reference.
  • Delete selected item will remove the selected clip from the timeline


  • Copy.
