In Kdenlive, how to select an area for render?

Question

In Kdenlive's render settings I can choose the option to render "selected zone".

How do I select the zone?

"Shift + left click" enables a box selection. However it only selects whole clips, so this approach does not work.

Use the keys "i" for "start" and "o" for "end" to create the selection. They use the current frame position.

Example:

Move the playhead to frame 190 and press "i". Move it to 390 and press "o".

This creates a selection with beginning at the frame 190 and end at 390.

Thanks a lot, we searched this for way too much time ^^" Isn't there a more intuitive solution?

Part of the issue is that kdenlive uses many video editing jargon terms. In this case, i and o are mnemonic, representing a video's "in" and "out" points.

The same function is available from the menu under "Monitor → Set Zone In" and "Monitor → Set Zone Out".

another approach that uses mouse is:

in other words, when you only need to adjust the zone out, you can drag this UI element or drag the middle.

Sorry, I cannot make the mini video viewable inline.

This is hardly usable on a long project when we don't even know where it's located
