# La fenêtre principale

# Fenêtre principale de Pitivi

La fenêtre principale, comme son nom l'indique, comprend les principaux éléments de l'interface utilisateur de Pitivi et notamment : la barre de menus, les barres d'outils, la piste de montage et divers composants personnalisables (le lecteur, la bibliothèque des médias, des effets, des transitions, etc.).

# Resizing components of the main window

In the spaces between components, there are handles indicated by five light dots. You can proportionally resize pairs of components by clicking and dragging the handles to the desired position.

# La barre de menus

The menu bar is a place where many functions can be accessed. It contains all actions contained in the three toolbars, plus actions related to managing projects, view settings and help. Project settings and Preferences can also be accessed through the menu bar. However, actions specific to the Media library, Effect library, Clip configuration, Transitions, or Title editor are not included in the menu bar.

La barre de menus ne peut pas être masquée.

# Les barres d'outils

There are three toolbars in the Pitivi main window: the Main toolbar, the Playback toolbar and the Timeline toolbar. These provide access to the most commonly used functions of Pitivi. All items in toolbars can also be accessed through the menu bar. Toolbars can be activated or deactivated in the View menu.

En survolant un élément d'une barre d'outils avec le curseur de la souris, vous voyez apparaître une infobulle décrivant sa fonction.

# La règle

The ruler plays a crucial role in your interaction with the timeline. First, it represents a time scale providing time measurements (in seconds) for overall orientation. Second, it constitutes the primary surface on which you can move the playhead (and thus, change your position in time). To move your position, click anywhere on the ruler. You can also scrub the timeline by clicking on the ruler and holding down the mouse button while moving. See the section on scrubbing for more details.

La position de lecture actuelle est matérialisée par une ligne rouge verticale :

When zoomed in, frames are visually represented as alternating light and dark areas in the bottom part of the ruler. Hovering the mouse cursor over the ruler in this state will reveal an information tooltip with frame number. The amount of time the individual frames take up is based on the project framerate settings.

# La barre des marqueurs

Les marqueurs sont des marques visuelles que vous pouvez créer pour marquer les emplacements ou les régions importants de la piste de montage de votre projet. La barre des marqueurs vous permet d'afficher et de modifier les marqueurs que vous avez créés.

Cette fonction n'est pas encore disponible. Voir le bogue #608682 pour plus d'informations.

# La piste de montage

The timeline is the core user interface component that you will use for editing. Vertically, it is divided into layers that can be filled with audio and video clips. Horizontally, it constitutes a time-proportional representation of your project's chronology. Various levels of zoom can be applied to the timeline. However, these apply only to the horizontal (chronological) dimension of the timeline.

See the Understanding layers and Moving around the timeline pages for more information on how to work with the timeline.

# Timeline toolbar

The timeline toolbar is located at the right edge of the timeline. It contains basic actions for editing in timeline:

Split clip at playhead position

Delete selected

Group clips

Ungroup clips

Align clips based on their soundtracks

Toggle gapless mode

Note that most of the actions become available only once a clip is selected. When there is no subject for the action to be performed on, it remains shaded (indicating its unavailability).

# La barre d'outils du lecteur

This toolbar, located below the previewer, contains buttons controlling the playback of the timeline. Options provided by the toolbar are the following:

Play

Pause

Go forward one second

Go back one second

Go to the end of the timeline

Go to the beginning of the timeline

For more information on how to move on the timeline, see the Moving the playhead and Scrubbing sections on the Moving around the timeline page.

Le bouton Lecture se transforme en bouton Pause pendant la lecture, et vice versa.

# Le lecteur

L'écran du lecteur affiche :

l'image présente sous la position de lecture,

votre projet vidéo quand vous lancez la lecture,

une prévisualisation en direct quand vous repositionnez les points de début et de fin d'une séquence.

# Left pane

The left pane contains media and effect libraries. You can switch between them by selecting the appropriate tab. The Media library displays the imported media files in your project and allows you to manage them. The Effect library contains number of audio and video effects applicable to clips.

You can search the libraries by using the text box in the header of each library.

# Middle pane

The middle pane contains Clip configuration, Transitions and Title editor. You can switch between them by selecting the appropriate tab. The Clip configuration allows you to activate, deactivate or configure settings of effects applied to a selected clip. Transitions let you pick and configure the transition type when two clips overlap in the timeline. With Title editor you can create new clips with titles or add titles to existing ones.
