Trimming or cutting (a certain part of) a video will reset if you move the clips around #922

Description

Describe the bug
Trimming or cutting (a certain part of) a video, or deleting a specific clip within the video, doesn't work as expected. You would expect that after trimming or cutting, that part is gone, but if you then drag and drop the specific clip to another timestamp on the timeline, it looks like the cut clip, or the trimmed part, is back.

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

  1. record a video
  2. in editor, trim the start of the video by dragging the black vertical line to the right
  3. after trimming maybe 3-5 seconds from the start there is a blank gap from 0-3/5 seconds ofcourse
  4. You drag the full clip to the left so that the total recording starts immediately from 0 seconds again
  5. play the video, you will notice it's fine at the start, but at the end of the video it's also trimmed?

Another reproduce with cutting:

  1. record a video
  2. in the editor CUT a part (eg 3th second)
  3. Cut another part after that (eg. 6th second)
  4. DELETE that 3 second clip
  5. Now there is a gap between 2 clips, so you want to move the right clip to snap on to the left clip
  6. Play the video, you will notice that the CUT part is not gone, it looks like 3 seconds of the clip is removed from the END Of the recording

Expected behavior
When you drag the video or move the video to different timestamps, or cut specific parts within that recording and then fill that gap by moving clips to snap to each other, you would expect that it stays the same, starting at the endpoint of that clip. It seems like it is not. It would also be great, if you do this, that the zooming smooth transitions would also be part of the total recording, so if you move the total video, this will also move with you.

Additional context
Love the app. It's amazing, and I love that it's open source, but the editor feels glitchy and not intuitive. You could work on the user experience and UI, such as:

  • the delete button actually doing something in the editor
  • the automatic following of your mouse and zooming in
    If you do fast actions, it will kind of be delayed and slow to follow your mouse.
