dear list,
as announced earlier we started to run some tests with cinelerra to see
if we can also manage big project. here a short account with some
questions/suggestions - let us know what you think of...
best,
adnan
most importantly organsing:
- bin structure: can media and clips be organised into bins, and can
multiple bins be open at the same time?
- can multiple sequences be stored in one entity (or project), or is
there a workable way to have multiple sequences open and available? Can
one copy and paste between sequences? Or is there any other workaround
to edit from one sequence to another (wihtout mix-down)?
- Can one define one's own keyboard layout (for shortcuts)? Is there 'go
to inpoint', 'go to outpoint' shortcuts?
then editing:
- Also is there an 'overwrite drag and drop' mode? This could be
controlled by holding the shift button down maybe?
- Can one select multiple clips in 'drag and drop'? Is there a way of
securing audio-video synch in 'drag and drop'?
- When trimming, is there a way to extend the outgoing and shorten the
incoming simultaneously – effectively 'dragging' the edit point along
the timeline (and maintaining synch)?
- In 'copy and past' mode can there be an 'overwrite paste' in addition
to the existing 'insert paste' (so as not to lose the sync along the
timeline)?
- Is there a warning to show video and audio from the same source going
out of synch?
- It appears that when I splice in from a source clip (with video and
stereo audio) i can only assign audio tracks to tracks 3 and 4 by
disarming tracks 1 and 2 – but then when I perform the splice, the audio
after the splice point does not get 'bunched up' with the video, so all
my audio after the splice point gets out of synch. Is there a workaround
for this? Is there another way of assigning 'target tracks' other than
arming/disarming?
- Is there a way of 'synch-locking' tracks?
- In 'drag and drop' sometimes it moves audio tracks seperately and
sometimes together, what determines this?
& last Suggestions:
- the 'o' shortcut should work form within the resources window (which
is where you normally need it).
- Could there be a line somewhere in the timeline or compositor window
where the source timecode of the clip in that position can be displayed
(preferably with an option which selects from which track)?
- It seems that by and large the default tendency is for any 'gaps' on
the audio tracks to snap shut – this means that in a lot of operations
synch is very easily lost. Wouldn't it be safer for the default to be
that clips stay in their place on the timeline?
