I think there will be several modes in the end, but that's not too bad, because this should be easy to handle when saving and loading of different layouts is possible. So what about using 'ctrl+Fn' to save a layout and simply pressing 'Fn' to load a layout? Isn't that easy to handle? Because at the moment I can think of having just this modes: - Timeline preview position the timeline cursor and hit <SPACE> to start play back from this position ... - Trim Select a file in the project list or a cip in the timeline and set in/out or start play back ... - Workplace This is like in MovieDV and show the frame at timeline cursor position with applied effects. But here you can also do all positioning stuff just like creating graphics with the gimp in multiple layers. For example: So, when the title clip in the timeline is selected, the title in the workplace is also selected an can be moved around. greetings Reinhard
