Monitors

Kdenlive uses 2 monitor widgets to display your videos: Clip Monitor and Project Monitor. A third monitor - the Record Monitor - previews video capture.

Clip Monitor

The Clip monitor displays the unedited clip that is currently selected in the Project Tree.

Widgets on the Clip Monitor

1) is Set In Point button - click this to set an 'in' point.

2) is Set Out Point button - click this to set an 'out' point.

3) Green selected zone - selected by setting in and out points. Draging the clip from the clip monitor to the time line when there is a green selected zone causes the selected zone to be copied to the timeline.

4) Position Carat - can be dragged in the clip.

5) Timecode widget - type a timecode here and hit Enter to go an exact location in the clip.

6) Timecode arrows - can use these to change the current postion of the clip in the clip monitor.
