Split Timeline

edited May 2023 in MAIN

Weirdly, this should be a common issue, and i still can't find any discussion on it:

Using "Split Media Here" (cmd-shift-X) on a video track will cut it in two pieces at the playhead.

BUT

doing the same on a nested Timeline which has multiple subtracks will not actually "split" this timeline. It trims the left side and the right side gets reset to its starting frame.

so when i cut a timeline that's 4:00 long at 2:00, i end up with two identical pieces running from 0:00-2:00.

Isn't that unusable? feels like a bug to me, how would I insert a pause on a nested timeline, for example?

    Hello @mesomax,

    This is the expected behavior : there is no start/end point for timelines (like you have for movies). Timelines are rather using "segments", despite there is no setting to choose the segment to play for embed timelines in a timeline.

    Feel free to create an idea on Uservoice, so we could keep track of your request and see if other users are interested.

    Best. Philippe

    ok, good to know. Thanks for the precise clarification, Philippe! I do think this would be a useful feature, will post a request.
