So I'm working on adding these features to OpenShot and need a bit of feedback.
Regarding adding new clips to the timeline and auto shifting any subsequent clips, I can think of a couple of ways to do this: 1. Have an 'Insert Clips' item on the clip context menu - this will open the existing 'Add To Timeline' window. Either you have to preselect in the project files tree the clips you want to insert, or it would populate with every clip in the project (you would then have to manage which one(s) you want added). 2. Just use the existing Add To Timeline functionality, but adjust so existing clips after the playhead position are moved. The problem with this option is there is not so much control over which track to add the clips to. Any feedback or other ideas on how to do it? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of OpenShot Bugs, which is subscribed to OpenShot Video Editor. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/801342 Title: Suggestion: collapse clips to "fill" gaps and automove clips to insert new Status in OpenShot Video Editor: In Progress Bug description: Hi. This is not a bug, it's a suggestion, but I don't know how to classify it as "wishlist" / "suggestion". The main problem in OpenShot is removing and adding new clips in the beginning/middle of the timeline when your project has grown, as you end moving manually all clips or counting "duration" to use the "Shift clips" tool to move them with offset. 1. REMOVING CLIPS: Currently I check clip properties, write down in a paper the Duration, and use the "Shift Clips" feature with -duration (negative value) to move all clips back in time and fill the gap, but it would be very nice to have the option to "autocollapse" clips to fill gaps: [CLIP1].....[CLIP2][CLIP3].....[CLIP4] (You click in AUTOCOLLAPSE) [CLIP1][CLIP2][CLIP3][CLIP4] This way you can happily remove clips and rearrange the timeline automatically. If you need to insert a new clip, 2.- ADDING CLIPS: Currently I check the new clip properties, write down in a paper the Duration, and use the "Move Clips" feature with +duration to leave gap for the clip, and then I move it. It would be nice to have an option to add an item to the timeline automatically moving all the clips in that point after or before it. Besides those 2 suggestions, if you also correct the following bugs, Openshot would be almost perfect, surely the best video editor available in Linux: 3.- Fade In/Out Glitches Bug: https://bugs.launchpad.net/openshot/+bug/520941 4.- Icons etc. disappearing https://bugs.launchpad.net/openshot/+bug/505578 Please, keep the GOOD work.
