*This page contains ideas for future development which still need refinement.*

|
What should be discussed about ideas?
|
|
|
|
|
|
* Bigger picture: Is the idea related to another topic and should be tackled from a more general perspective (e.g. change the timeline behaviour altogether instead of adjusting here and there)
|
|
|
* What is the benefit of the idea? Does it target a reasonably large user group to justify the development effort?
|
|
|
* What is the estimated effort? If it is hard to estimate, what details or what knowledge is missing?

| **Improved keyframe editing** | | For example, edit all keyframes together: #259 |
|
|
|
| **Project Bin improvements** | | Improve visual clarity and UX for project bin. For example, add a bit of spacing between clip entries, fix #283. See also #287, #291 |
|
|
|
| **Improve effect experience** | Applying effects is faster | Improve visual clarity of the effects list (coloured number boxes do not help too much e.g.), keep looping a zone while modifying effects (see #293), check if interactions work (e.g. scrolling has a double assignment: It scrolls the effect properties page, but also the keyframe item). See also #350 |

|
|
| **Workspaces for specialised workflows** | Faster editing in an editing stage | Change what widgets are shown and how Kdenlive behaves depending on the current editing stage (audio, effects, color correction, …); see #407 |

| **Workspaces for specialised workflows** | Faster editing in an editing stage | Change what widgets are shown and how Kdenlive behaves depending on the current editing stage (audio, effects, color correction, …); see #407. Reset layouts (#249). |
|
|
|
| **Window management** | | Make a widget cover the whole window for better focus, see #519. Auto-adjust the clip monitor width to the video aspect ratio to give other widgets more space. |
|
|
|
| **Shortcuts** | | Give shortcuts another visit and make sure they are consistent (see e.g. #550) and also get inputs from [other editing tools][hb]. Create a shortcut guideline document where shortcuts are listed including the reasoning behind (e.g. in and out points with i and o because of the words and because the keys are next to each other). |
|
|
|
| **General usability improvements | Kdenlive provides a consistent and practical UX | Redesign clip popups (e.g. other location) to avoid that they overlap controls (#592), make it easier to resize the timeline (#593)

|
| **Auto-cut silence** | YouTubers | When recording voice, mute when the person is not talking. This could be an audio effect (threshold) which works in post, or directly included in the recorder (would not work for existing audio). See #247 |
