The Audio Thumbnail in the clip monitor now does not obscure the video that is underneath it, which is OK, I guess. However, it does cause a few issues. It causes the size of the video that is displayed to change depending on whether the audio thumbnail is displayed or not. If setting it to be always visible, then if the clip monitor is displaying a video without audio, it is absent, and the viewport has useless and ugly grey bars. The Project Monitor does not have an audio thumbnail, and so it is impossible to have the Project Viewport and the Clip Monitor to be the same size without having horrible grey bars somewhere. In short, it is visually unappealing and distracting to use. After thinking about it a little, there may be a way around all this: Both the Clip Monitor and the Project monitor has a scrub bar at the bottom. If we make the height of the scrub bar configurable and much bigger, then we can overlay it with the audio waveform for clips that have them, and have it a nice textured grey with maybe time marks or something similar when there is no audio to display. This has a couple of nice side effects: Firstly, elements of the video editor does not change size based on the position of the mouse. Second, we reclaim the space used by the scrub bar, and get a little more vertical space in the editor window. Scrubbing through video without audio also becomes a little easier. Third, it allows for visual continuity between Clip and Project monitors, and provides a much more polished user interface.
