Click 'n drag of effects not consistent
Hi there! Firstly, thanks so much for the energy that you are pouring into this project. It does not go un-noticed!
Not sure if this was intended behavior or just a fluke, but clicking on an effect in the effects stack and then dragging it to another clip copies the selected effect on to the clip that the effect is dropped upon. (Almost like dragging an effect from the effects list, but with the proper settings)
This is an immensely useful feature! Once you set up an effect just so, it's useful to be able to copy that effect to more clips that came from the same camera under the same conditions.
But, it does have a problem. The effect is not always selected when you click and drag. If I have to guess, it takes three or four tries to click and drag before the effect is selected and drag-able. It would be great if selecting the clip would be more reliable. Right now it's a little annoying, but still easier than re-creating the same effect on multiple clips.
Not sure if this is an easy one to fix, but while you are looking at it, it would also be useful to be able to select more than one effect before the drag, maybe with a modifier key like Shift, or Ctrl? Maybe shift for selecting everything in between, and Ctrl for selecting one by one, like one selects files in the file manager?
I know that there is a copy stack feature, but it's broken and the copied stacks are permanent, requiring a name for each save, and then there are too many names and no way to delete them... So, not as useful as just clicking and dragging the effect(s) that you want to copy.
I hope this makes sense? Oh, by the way, I am using Kdenlive in a professional capacity now, and this youtube channel showcases my work: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCYimkP7eesQ7XWe5zeGFpZQ
