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

<hr>

<p>Example:</p>

<p>Move the playhead to frame 190 and press "i". Move it to 390 and press "o".</p>

<p>This creates a selection with beginning at the frame 190 and end at 390. </p>

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".

# In Kdenlive, how to select an area for render?

(Asked by: username_0 on 2017-11-26)

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.

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