       Trying to figure out how to show where the trimmed video will really start in Video Trimmer

       @YaLTeR I wonder if making it snap in place when you finish dragging would be a good idea?

       @tromino @YaLTeR I was thinking maybe have, like, a diagonal line or other partial fill of the area between actual start and selected start, to make it more clear that that part will also be part of the output?I really like this idea in general though, it's a great approach to solving a tricky UX imposed by the details of video formats!

       @YaLTeR yeah that's basically what I was thinking ofit looks mostly fine to me, but maybe some change in the way the playback cursor is moved while dragging the edges would make it feel less weird? (maybe even making it not move at all would be the best? not sure)

       @YaLTeR an animation for the snapping motion could help also, but I'm not sure how difficult that would be to implement

       @tromino Moving the playback cursor while dragging is because it actively seeks the playback to that spot so you can preview right away where you're dragging.

       @YaLTeR then maybe auto-snapping the playback cursor while dragging could help communicate that the video edges are also about to be snapped?

       @tromino Yeah, I thought about this, but maybe it's still useful to see where you're dragging exactly because maybe the spot you're after is conveniently after the next keyframe?
