Oh noooooo, please don't !!!!!!!! your point with cinelerra beginners is valid, though. Modes are confusing, at first. But they exist for very good reasons. I personally use drag-n-drop editing only in the first 1% of time when working on a new project. Its ease of use is good when rearranging and changing things quickly. But most of the time things are set and I do adjustments and tweeking or have very carefully to consider any moving of clips (keeping sync, L-cuts, overlays, mask tracs etc.). So, most of the time I use cut-n-paste editing and I really appreciate it. The main problems with drag-n-drop mode for day to day work are: - - you have to click to the timbar ruler to set the playback position --> way to much mouse movement. - - selecting is difficult (ok, you probably fixed that, but this forces me to press shift very often) - - it is easy to move a clip inadvertendly and thus destroy much work without noting it. The problem with using shift for marking is: this forces me to have my left hand at the left side of the keyboard. But, frequently I have it on the numpad (for navigating with keys) and have the right hand on my mouse. So, please Andraz, if you really want to change this, at least leave a setting somewhere to retain the old behaviour, because otherwise you make things much more difficult for a power user in favor for the beginners. (and cinelerra isn't focused on beginners, isn't it ;-) ) -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.5 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFFOERXZbZrB6HelLIRAuQKAJ9XM45AI3vM/qPI74JJW5qm4AlCxQCZAdTB nRIHVy2y0TvcUW78snaGZ6w= =m+iB -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- _______________________________________________ Cinelerra mailing list [email protected] https://init.linpro.no/mailman/skolelinux.no/listinfo/cinelerra
