Align Segment Times to Keyframes – Add "Start to Previous, End to Next" option #2654

Closed

Description

@aios-ai

The fewer issues I have to read, the more new features I will have time to implement, so I ask that you please try these things first

Description

Current Behavior:

  • The feature allows aligning segment start and end individually with different strategies (nearest, previous, next)
  • Alternatively, both can be aligned together using the same strategy

Requested Enhancement:

  • Add a combined strategy: Start → Previous keyframe, End → Next keyframe
  • This ensures that the selected segment always includes the full content around the chosen range, avoiding accidental trimming at either end

Additional Request:

  • Provide keyboard shortcuts for segment manipulation options to speed up workflow

Use Case:

  • When pre-configuring .llc files, I want to ensure that upon opening the video for final modifications, the segments are automatically aligned using the "Start to Previous, End to Next" strategy
  • This avoids losing content at the start or end of the selection and makes editing more efficient

    Are you saying that you can currently achieve what you're asking by doing a multi step process:

    1. Choose align "Start" times
    2. Choose "Previous keyframe"
    3. Choose align "End" times
    4. Choose "Next keyframe"

    but you would like it to instead be a 1 step process?

    1. Choose "Align start to previous keyframe, end to next keyframe"
    • Provide keyboard shortcuts for segment manipulation options to speed up workflow

    Yeah exactly. There is already an option for Both (start and end) in the "Align Segment Times to Keyframes" modal but then you can only choose between nearest, previous or next but not "previous and next" for start and end respectively. This would be the only option that makes sure that it contains always the full segment or more but never less.

    With that option and ideally the keyboard shortcut, you can quickly "fix" the loose start and end frames of all segments upon opening the app.
