==== Arranging files in tracks ====

After you have imported files, the next step is to adding files into the timeline and arranging it for editing. Timeline is the place where the media clips will be edited. There are two different types of tracks, Video and Audio. Video tracks can contain any kind of clip, audio tracks as well but when dropping a video file to the audio track, only the audio will be used.

 

After you have saved the project, the next step is adding files into the timeline and arranging it for editing. Timeline is the place where the media clips are edited. There are two different types of tracks, Video and Audio. Video tracks can contain any kind of clip for example Video, Images, graphic files and the text etc. audio tracks contain all kind of audios like music, track audio and sound effects.  In both types of tracks, multiple tracks can be used by adding new track and per your requirement..

 

 

Once a clip is dropped on a sequence, it can be moved (drag and drop it) to another place on the same track or onto another track.

 

 

==== Before we move to next steps, these are some important tools used frequently while editing ====

==== Cutting, moving and deleting clips ====

<gallery mode="packed" heights="150">

Click on the start point of the clip to have a first cut, and drag to the second or last point to have a second cut (on the same clip, multiple times can be used). Now select the portion using the selection key. Now that you have trimmed the clip, you can delete the clip by pressing the backspace/delete key or move the clip in the timeline using the selection key.

# To cut a clip into two parts, select Razor from "Edit --> Toolbar". The mouse cursor will change to a dotted line and razor icon. Click on a clip at the point you want to cut or slice it. And also if you want to remove one part of this clip, just right click on the clip and remove clip.

 

# After you cut a clip, now it will be two part. Click on cursor icon (Select Mode), click on a clip which you want to move. Then drag the clip to a new position on the timeline, and drop it. 

This tool is used when you have trimmed some of the portions on video or audio but you want it back or you want to extend it, or, in other words, it is used to shorten or extend the particular clip up to its full length. By default, a static image is added to the time limit of 5 seconds. If you want it shorter, you can cut it with a razor tool. What if you needed it for more than 5 seconds? Simply use the ripple tool to select at the end of the image; now you can drag it as much as you want, and Kdenlive has a special feature, which is that if you are in the selection tool or if you drag the cursor to any ends of the clip, the tool automatically gets switched.

# To cut a clip, the easiest way is to place the timeline cursor where you want to cut the clip, then select the clip (left click in it) and use the menu "Timeline --> Current Clip --> Cut Clip" (Keyboard shortcut is Shift + R).
