Hi, I'm in debt for a review also, since a long time now. sorry for that. I tend to see the proposals as a bit too complex for an average user, and perhaps a little untidy in its organization as well. In my opinion, it'd be good if options could be progressively presented to the user, by the time he/she needs them. And would also be good that the options be arranged matching the decision process when chosing exporting options, that is selecting: - File Format - Video Codec (and its basic settings) - Audio Codec (and its basic settings) - then other more fine grained details, which could be considered "advanced" ones.
Last, I'd like to see a tab where the novice user could comfortably select between the most common Presets for rendering without being forced to make decisions he/she don't understand (or want!). So a good and simple Presets section would be important I think. And the fact that this tab would be the one that is visible when you go to export, also. cheers, Gabriel 2011/7/1 Hugh Tebby <hugh.tebby at gmail.com> > Hi everyone, > > I've just seen these emails and wanted to give some feedback on the > mockups. > > Here how I think it could look like, based on last proposition from JB : > http://www.kdenlive.org/sites/default/files/images/kdenlive-rendering-dialog-v2.3-main.png > > Basically I found that the tabs on the right didn't really integrate well > in the current interface.
