I also think the default should be either PAL or NTSC, depending
on the user's locale. If you're in Europe, you're most likely
to deal with PAL, for example.
I dont like too much automagic things. How about have a 'unconfigured'
state where creating tracks/putting things to the timelime are greyed
out (only add to resources when loading?) and one has to 'setup project'
first (with a big reminder "Setup Project First!" in the statusbar).
Thats common in a lot other applications.
In my opinion, that's annoying. I want to do stuff, and I strongly
resent apps that tells me to answer their questionnaire first!
But then again, why does Cinelerra have to have a "project resolution"?
How about having a canvas that is simply "fit to largest"? Of course,
the user should have the _option_ to set the canvas to some standard
size.
Which leads me to another missing feature: "fit to (size)". If you
choose a canvas size, say PAL, then using the camera/projector to
resize HDV or Youtube clips to fit a 4:3 PAL frame is a bit of work.
Especially if you want to preserve interlacing!
Now imagine you want to re-render your PAL project as NTSC or 720p.
You have to redo all your camera/projector tweaking manually again!
Pretty tedious. You CAN do it, but it is a lot of extra work.
