De project-bin gebruiken¶

De project-bin[1] is waar al uw bezittingen zich bevinden. Afhankelijk van de grootte van uw project kan die lijst snel verwarrend en moeilijk mee te werken zijn. Kdenlive heeft verschillende mogelijkheden on de inhoud van bin te beheren.

Gebruikersinterface¶

project_bin_layout — De project-bin in Kdenlive¶

1	Clip of map openen opent een venster gelijk aan de bestandsbeheerder van uw OS waarmee u kunt navigeren in uw bestandssysteem en toe te voegen bestanden aan de project-bin selecteert.
	opent een pop-up-venster waaruit u kunt selecteren welk soort clip u wilt toevoegen
	Map toevoegen maakt een nieuwe map in de huidige project-bin. Dit zijn virtuele mappen die u helpen om grote bins te beheren. Mappen kunnen omgedraaid worden in hun eigen bins.

11	Indicators for duration of the clip in the format hh:mm:ss:ff, and the number of instances in sequences (first number) and the timeline (second number).

Scaling the View¶

You can zoom the project bin view in and out.

project_bin_scale_view — Scaling the project bin view¶

Click on the Options icon and use the slider or the buttons to the left or right of it to increase or decrease the zoom level.

De weergave wijzigen¶

You can switch the project bin view from Tree View to Icon View, change the sort criterion, show additional columns for Date, Description, Rating, and have a preview in the thumbnails for video files.

Click on the Options icon and select the View Mode, Sort By criteria, and tick the boxes for additional columns.

Select favorite Disable Bin Effects to (temporarily) disable any effect applied to a clip in the Project Bin. See also the chapter about Effecten en filters and Effecten op clips in de project-bin.

Thumbnail Video Preview¶

A neat feature is to have a preview in the thumbnails for video files. This allows scrubbing in the thumbnail to quickly check whether that particular clip has the scene or footage you are looking for.

Check the Show Video Preview in Thumbnails to enable the feature.

Let op

This will trigger several clip jobs to generate the video previews. Depending on the size of your project bin and video assets this may take a while. You can continue working with Kdenlive but expect some performance degradation.

Tags gebruiken¶

Tags are a good way to stay organized as they give you a quick overview of the nature of your assets. You can create as many tags as you need, assign different colors, and change the default tags. After you assigned tags to your assets you can then quickly filter by tags making it much easier to assemble the clips in the timeline and building your story.

Let op

Kdenlive adjusts the width of the project bin widget to accommodate all tags and their description. It is recommended to keep the number of tags and the length of the description as small as possible to conserve valuable screen real estate for other widgets (in particular the timeline and monitors). If you have multiple monitors at your disposal consider undocking some of the widgets and moving them off the main screen used for editing.

project_bin_toolbar_tags — Paneel met tags inschakelen¶

Click on the tag Tags Panel icon in the project bin toolbar to enable the panel.

Tags toekennen¶

Assigning tags is as simple as selecting a clip and then clicking the appropriate tag in the panel.

project_bin_tags_assign — Assigning tags to clips¶

A clip can have more than one tag.

Click the tag again to remove it from the clip

Editing Tags¶

You can change the description and color of existing tags.

Click on edit-delete Delete to delete a tag.

Click on tag-add Add tag to add a new tag.

Make sure to click document-save Save to save the changes.

Hint

You can change the order of the tags in the panel by simply grabbing a tag and dragging it to the desired place in the panel.

Op tags filteren¶

You can filter the project bin list using tags.

project_bin_tags_filter — Filtering using tags¶

Note how the background of the view-filter icon changes as soon as filter criteria have been selected.

Filter criteria within the same category (like tag or rating) are applied in an OR fashion, meaning that all clips with any of the selected criteria will be listed (red OR green tag).

Filter criteria across different categories are applied in an AND fashion, meaning that clips with criteria from both categories will be listed (red OR green tag AND with four OR five stars)

For more details refer to the chapter about using filters.

Using Filters¶

Filters are an easy way to quickly narrow down assets by tag, rating, type, or whether or not they are being used in the timeline.

1:: Category Tags
2:: Category Rating
3:: Category Usage
4:: Type categorie

Filters are applied in an OR way between objects of the same category, and in an AND way between different categories.

Voorbeeld

project_bin_filter_example — Filtering options¶

This filter setting shows all assets that have a red OR blue tag, AND have a rating of 4 stars, AND are unused, AND are an AV Clip (file with video and audio streams) OR a Mute Video (file with only a video stream).

If filter criteria have been set, the filter icon in the project bin toolbar changes background color. Filter on: filter-on - filter off: filter-off

Sorting the Project Bin¶

You can sort the project bin content by various criteria.

Name:: Default sorting options
Date:: Sort by file date
Duration:: Sort by duration of the clip
Rating:: Sort by the rating of the clip
Type:: Sort by the file type
Insert Order:: Sort by the sequence in which the files were added
Description:: Sort by the description of the clip (this is an extra text field)
Descending:: Sort in descending order (default is off which sorts ascending)

Searching the Project Bin¶

The Project Bin is where all your assets are. Depending on the size of your project that list can quickly become confusing and difficult to work with. Kdenlive has several features to manage the bin’s content.

project_bin_searching — Searching the Project Bin¶

Enter the search term into the Search field. Kdenlive will start filtering the asset list immediately and continue adjusting the search results as you type.

Searching takes the entire filename including any suffixes (e.g. .ac3) into account.

Notitie

Searching takes place only in the current view. If you want to search in folders you must open the folder first.

Meerdere bins¶

Folders are a good way to stay organized but they are tied to the Project Bin. If you need more flexibility you can create various bins from folders you have created. The advantage of multiple bins is that you can un-dock them, move them around your workspace, change the sequence in the dock area, and even move them to a second (or third) monitor.

project_bin_multiple_bins — Mappen omzetten in bins¶

Klik rechts op de naam van de map en kies Huidige map in nieuwe bin openen.

A bin can be closed either by clicking the Close Current Bin icon on the bin toolbar, opening the Options menu and selecting Close Current Bin (you must be in the bin), or by selecting the Menu ‣ View ‣ Project Bins and un-ticking the respective bin in the list.

project_bin_multiple_bins_toolbar — Extra pictogrammen in de werkbalk¶

Note the additional icons in the toolbar of the bin.

go-up Go up (keyboard shortcut Alt+UP) goes up one level in the current bin.

Close Current Bin closes the current bin.

Mappen¶

Folders help keeping the Project Bin organized, structured, and easy to navigate. Folders can be nested and turned into individual bins.

project_bin_folder_create — Creating folders in the project bin¶

You create a folder by clicking the folder-new Create Folder icon in the project bin toolbar.

Alternatively, right-click on empty space in the project bin and select folder-new Create Folder.

If you want to create a folder below an existing one, select that folder first.

You can delete a folder by selecting the folder and clicking on the edit-delete Delete Folder icon, or by right-click on the folder and selecting Delete Folder.

Folder Right-Click Menu

Right-click on a folder opens this context menu:

../../_images/project_bin_folder_options.webp

Rename:: Renames the folder. Keyboard shortcut is F2. You can also just double-click the folder name in the bin
Open Current Folder in New Bin:: Creates a new bin from the folder
Default Target Folder for Sequences:: Check this if you want this folder to be target for new sequences
Default Target Folder for Audio Captures:: Select this if you want this folder to receive all audio captures
Create Folder:: Creates a new folder. If nothing has been selected in the bin, a new folder is created at the bin level. If a folder has been selected, a new folder underneath the selected one is created.
Delete Folder:: Deletes the selected folder.

Notitie

Deleting an empty folder happens immediately without any are-you-sure? dialog. Only if there is content will there be a warning dialog window that you need to confirm or cancel.
