Description Gabriel Gazzán 2025-11-07 22:05:01 UTC 
Today a user in Reddit was asking for an efficient way of trimming lots of clips, and save to disk new clips with the new durations.

I know the part of the workflow involving loading clips, selecting one of them in the bin and marking In/Out points for it is perfectly doable via shortcuts, but I've found it's not possible to assign a shortcut to the "Extract Zone" action needed to save the new trimmed clips (the one that's normally accessible through the RMB menu over Clip Monitor).

It'd be good to allow that, to improve the efficiency of that kind of workflows in Kdenlive.
(It's also not possible to find that action using the "Find Action" feature, in the Help menu.)

Thanks!
