The container concept can only express trees directly, to express a graph you need connections as objects in it. There's no way around that fact that you can either show durations of nodes and connection on a timeline, or the graph at a specific point in time. So there needs to be both timeline and graph view. There has been discussion in #lumiera. Instead of containers there will be meta-clips. A clip is just a collection of audio and video streams to go together. A meta-clip can contain clips and other meta-clips. In the timeline each meta-clip will just show the result/mixdown of its contents. Meta-clips can then be opened in another panel/tab/window. But it seems it's not quite clear if routing shall happen on a per track or a per object level or even both. -- Thorsten Wilms thorwil's design for free software: http://thorwil.wordpress.com/ _______________________________________________ Cinelerra mailing list [email protected] https://init.linpro.no/mailman/skolelinux.no/listinfo/cinelerra
