== Monitors ==

'''Kdenlive''' uses 2 monitor widgets to display your videos: '''Clip Monitor''' and '''Project Monitor'''. A third monitor - the '''Record Monitor''' - previews video capture.  These monitors can be selected by clicking the corresponding tabs which appear at the bottom of the monitor window.

==== Resizing the Monitors ====
You can resize the monitors by dragging the sizing widget. It is a bit tricky to find the bottom widget. You need to hover just between the bottom of the monitor tab and the timeline

Since version 19.04.0

Support for external monitor display using Blackmagic Design decklink cards.

==== Monitor toolbar ====

Since version 19.04.0

[[File:monitors.gif]]

Support multiple guide overlays. Move with the mouse to the upper-right corner of the monitor to access the toolbar.

====Preview resolution====

Since version 20.04.0    
     
[[File:preview.gif]]

Preview resolution speeds up the editing experience by scaling the video resolution of the monitors. It can be used of proxies instead.

=== Clip Monitor ===

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

==== Widgets on the Clip Monitor ====

1) '''Set zone start''' button - click this to set an 'in' point.

2) '''Set zone end''' button - click this to set an 'out' point.

3) Zone duration indicator - selected by setting in and out points. Dragging the clip from the clip monitor to the timeline when there is a selected zone causes the selected zone, not the entire clip, to be copied to the timeline.

4) Position Caret - can be dragged in the clip. (In ver >=0.9.4 and with OpenGL turned on in [[Special:myLanguage/Kdenlive/Manual/Settings_Menu/Configure_Kdenlive#Playback|Settings -> Configure Kdenlive -> Playback]], audio will play as you drag this.)

5) Timecode widget - type a timecode here and hit <keycap>Enter</keycap> to go to an exact location in the clip. Timecode is in the format ''hours:minutes:seconds:frames'' (where ''frames'' will correspond to the number of frames per second in your project profile).

6) Timecode arrows - can be used to change the current position of the clip in the clip monitor.

==== Creating Zones in Clip Monitor ====

Zones are defined regions of clips that are indicated by a colored section in the clip monitor's timeline - see item 3 above.  The beginning of a zone is set by clicking '''['''  (item 1 in the pic above).  The end of a zone is set by clicking ''']''' (item 2 in the pic above)

==== Clip Monitor Right-click menu ====

The Clip Monitor has a right-click (context) menu as described [[Special:MyLanguage/Kdenlive/Manual/Monitors/Clip_Monitor_RightClick|here]].

====Drag audio or video only of a clip in timeline====

Since version 19.04.0

Move with the mouse to the lower-left corner of the clip monitor to access the Video/Audio icons. Hover with the mouse either over the audio or video icon left click to drag either video or audio part into the timeline.

=== Project Monitor ===

The '''Project Monitor'''  displays your project's timeline - i.e. the edited version of your video.

==== Project Monitor Widgets ====

1) The position caret. Shows the current location in the project relative to the whole project. You can click and drag this to move the position in the project.

2) The timecode widget. You can type a timecode here and press <keycap>Enter</keycap> to bring the Project Monitor to an exact location.

3) Timecode widget control arrows. You can move the Project Monitor one frame at a time with these.

====Creating Zones in Project Monitor ====

You can use the '''['''  and ''']'''  buttons to create a zone in the Project Monitor the same way you make zones in the clip monitor.
The zone will be indicated by a colored bar both on the timeline and underneath the Project Monitor.

You can get '''Kdenlive''' to only render the selected zone - see [[Special:MyLanguage/Kdenlive/Manual/Project_Menu/Render#Rendering_Using_the_Selected_Zone_Option|Rendering Using the Selected Zone Option]].

==== Project Monitor Right-click menu ====

The project monitor has a right-click (context menu) as described [[Special:MyLanguage/Kdenlive/Manual/Monitors/Project_Monitor_RightClick|here]].

====Multicam Editing====

Since version 20.04.0

[[File: multicam.gif]]

New multicam editing interface allows you to select a track in the timeline by clicking on the project monitor.

=== Record Monitor ===

There is also a '''Record monitor''' that can be used to preview [[Special:MyLanguage/Kdenlive/Manual/Capturing|capture]] from Firewire, ''Blackmagic cards'' or through '''FFmpeg''' / '''video4linux'''.

[[File:Kdenlive_Record Monitor.png]]

Until version 18.12: To switch to the record monitor click in the clip monitor on the “+” sign.

[[File:Kdenlive_Record Monitor_back.png]]

Until version 18.12: To switch back to the clip monitor click in the record monitor the “+” sign.

==== Version 19.04 and newer====

Screen record is moved to <menuchoice>View</menuchoice> &rarr; [[Special:myLanguage/Kdenlive/Manual/View_Menu/Screen_Grab#Screen_Grab| Screen Grab]]

== Separate Clip and Project Monitors ==
You can click on the Tab names that label the Monitors and drag the monitor out into its own window.

[[File:Kdenlive monitors seperate with dec.png]]

To put the monitors back into the Tabbed view - click on the monitor's title bar and drag the window on top of the other monitor window.

If the monitor has no title bar (intermittent defect) then you can not do this and you will need to reset kdenlive settings by deleting  ~/.config/kdenliverc
