Take the 2-minute tour ×  I'm using Kdenlive to edit some video
I recorded. I have some "uh"s, "um"s, and dead air I want to
delete quickly. For every little bit I need to remove, I'm
having to:    1. Select track   2. Set end cutting point   3.
Cut clip (Shift+R)   4. Set start cutting point   5. Cut clip
(shift+R)   6. Select portion to delete   7. Press delete   8.
Right-click in empty area   9. Click "remove space"  This is a
real pain. :-( I'm used to Cinelerra, where you just click-drag
a selection, then press delete. Unfortunately, the codecs in
Cinelerra are sorely out of date. How can I speed this process
up in Kdenlive?  share|improve this question add comment  2
