Description Sarah Sharp 2015-09-07 23:09:35 UTC

Once I have my video editing mostly done, with separate audio and video tracks, I have to go through the tedious process of carefully looking for any frame gaps between video clips. Kdenlive obviously has the information about clip start and length, it has enough information to detect whether clips in the visible video tracks have gaps between them.

What I would like is a menu option to have kdenlive set a guide at the start of every gap between video clips, so that I can eliminate them all, while still keeping the audio and video clips in sync.  Then I could jump to each guide and fix them.  That would save me 15 minutes scrolling through zoomed in at the frame level.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
I'm running kdenlive 15.04.03, checked out from the git commit b72f6b16b1dbaf8989d7519b67ae6ef63047b50c

Thanks for your report, I like the idea. Maybe in the workflow, just before rendering we could have a button to "Check the project" that could do things like check for blank spaces in the project, check if transitions are correctly aligned with clips and any other automated tests that might be useful.

Updated the report title to better describe the bug.

Argh. The bug reporting system is again mixing comments into the wrong reports!
