|
|
|
* [x] It is clear how this can be implemented in Kdenlive
|
|
|
* Tools are implemented!
|
|
|
* [ ] Usability and consistency is checked

Questions:
|
|
|
|
|
|
* Are operations clear to understand? (which target track, IN/OUT points, short tutorial with pictures)
|
|
|
* Are operations easy to find?
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Tools
|
|
|
|
|
|
Clip operations can be chosen with a shortcut, which then affects the selected audio/video track. Or by using the mouse after choosing the timeline mode (e.g. insert mode) from a dropdown – in that case, audio is not moved to the selected audio track but to the audio track with the same number as the video track (bug?).

|
Questions:
|
|
|
|
|
|
* What should happen in insert mode when moving a clip which is already on the timeline? Currently it behaves as if a new clip was inserted.

|
## Other ideas
|
|
|
|
|
|
* Snap cursor to clip boundaries in the timeline, e.g. when holding Shift → workflow: Snap to end of a clip, then insert clip there with `V` in insert mode
|
|
|
* Also support [4 point editing](https://www.premiumbeat.com/blog/3-and-4-point-editing-premiere-pro/)? |
