Avidemux, play only selection?

Question

I am trying to use Avidemux to create a clip from a larger video.

I can select position A and position B, but I do not see a way to simply play only what I have selected.

To answer a question

How are you creating a clip?

With Avidemux you select points A and B, then choose the option to create a clip from those points. The Issue at hand is playing back only the selected portion beforehand in order to make sure it is correct.

There is no play-only-selected option (though you could probably write a JavaScript or Python script), but you can use the Go to Marker A command (Page Up), followed by Play (Space). You can also click the buttons under Selection to jump to the marked points in the video.

I found ffplay to work better.

ffplay -autoexit -i test.mkv -ss 20 -t 4.024
