here's a picture of the lower part of the Solveig window where the trimming controls are.
in the big window (which is shown only partially above) the picture is from where the pointer
4 is located above the video/sound track. this pointer can be moved by the mouse along the video track. the exact position of the marker in time since the beginning of the video versus the total lenght of the video can be seen under the major window's lower left corner.
pointers
3 under the video track are used to mark end/start points on the video. the selected section is highlighted with an orange bar. on the lowest line in the centre the times of the start and end of the selection are shown, measured from the beginning of the original video.
new markers to define more sections in the video can be added by clicking buttons in the lower left corner (inside ellipse
1).
the video which i used as an example if farly long, almost 37 min, so the time line on the video track is in 3 min intervals. first find approximately where is the section which you want to trim and move the pointer there. then you can zoom in to more detailed time resolution by clicking the tiny box with the
magnifying glass+ in the
green rectangle 2 on the right. then you can select desired resolution
* either in the drop-down menu which opens
* or you may click the magnifying glass+ several times and the resolution increases at every click.
when the resolution is fine enough then you can slide the start and end markers to the positions of your choice more easily.
in the following picture i have zoomed to 15 s -resolution. nothing else is changed from the above situation.
here's a close-up of a detail. on the left side of the pointer Durbe is with Durberts, and on the right side Robert has arrived with a fish. so this is a suitable starting point of a fish-delivery video.
