thediveo added a comment to T10085: Redesign - Refactored Timeline.

Are you aware that icons need to be in a square design? So your suggestion needs to be scaled down in order to cope with its almost 1.5x width for the open state. In turn, it won't fit into the overall UI breeze icon design anymore.

Which resolutions are the lock/unlock icons too small for? Is this also with scaling enabled? Can you send a full screen screenshot of an instance where it isn't easy to tell the difference between lock/unlock icons?

The track locking frame indication gives both clear visual guidance but can also distract enormously, more so when multiple tracks are locked, which I sometimes need to do. Any of my projects has at least a topmost locked company logo track ... which currently won't distract, but with the new suggestion it would stick out prominently. Of course, people are different, so some prefer prominent indications depending on their workflow, while others might get diatracted by too much bling.

I see a problem reappearing with the unlock/lock icons which I fought I had squashed before. The open lock is barely distinguishable on higher resolution screens from the locked one, as there's not enough visual difference. On purpose back then I reworked Kdenlive icons to use the slash when unlocked, as this gives much more visual difference than just a small break in the lock's shackle. So, please keep in mind higher res displays, and make things clearly visually different!

I rely heavily on affine, especially in many existing projects. Dropping or hiding it would be catastrophic for my work.

Well, we still have some blockers, such as all keyframable effects not working on tracks. And I had another timeline corruption using the spacer: two additional transitions.

thediveo added a comment to T3323: Fade to transparent.

Yes and no. Each frame has an alpha channel. But depending on the encoding format there may be no alpha encoded in the source footage. As Kdenlive adds a lowest black track, and with the internally added track transitions, the result would be fafe to blaclk. However, I would not change the existing fade to/from black effects as these do a dissolve with black. With fade to transparency disdolves to other colors or clips would be straightforward to most newcomers.

thediveo added a comment to T2336: EDL export.

Which EDL, by the way? I did some (limited) research and the results were rather dicouraging to me. Everyone seems to interpret EDL differently. Next, does a particular import really needs a reel, which is limited to 5, 6, or so characters ... so we would need to export reels together with the cut list? Some programs seem to be more liberal, but I found many contradicting EDL examples even for the same tool. In principle, we could do a simple EDL export from a Kdenlive project even outside Kdenlive (probably even using XSLT), but only if the original EDL restrictions could be eased a lot...

thediveo added a comment to T3323: Fade to transparent.

Farid, not to the best of my understanding. Dissolve is a transition, working on two tracks. You can also dissolve to the black track, but that's what the fade from/to black effects do, too. Albeit the dissolve may be a way to work around the current issues of the fade from/to black effects when using as a user effect, for instance. However, you cant store a dissolve transition as a user transition.

thediveo added a comment to T3172: Kdenlive 16.08 blocking issues.

There is also a really annoying bug that causes effect parameters on clips when copied as part of a clip to not correctly update their in and out points. In consequence, many parameters turn into keyframed parameters that sometimes even have their in points beyond the clip's end. This is a grave problem as it severely breaks any smooth workflow and given new users a really bad impression of Kdenlive. People won't understand why their projects after some copying or moving of clips suddenly starts behaving odd, with effects not working at all and non-keyframed parameters suddenly turning into keyframed parameters with odd time settings. :(

Then I selected either none, one, two clips or three clips and pressed ripple mode. In either case I get the cancel and accept buttons, but only a single clip displayed.

Another issue I notice: my source footage are .mp4/H.264 clips. When preview rendering in 1s chunks, these chunks do not always correctly start with the desired frame. The result is a sometimes slightly rough playback with jumps in between -- not due to frame dropping but because rendering an individual 1s chunk does not correctly start where it is supposed to start. This may probably be caused by MLTs picky behavior when seeking in certain footage formats?

It's in the Clip menu (but not in the context menu). See here for screenshots and description: http://thediveo-e.blogspot.com/2016/05/kdenlive-ui-disable-timeline.html

Tried the new disable feature and noticed that especially the disabled status icon next to a clip's title can be near to impossible to read. Please see also this screenshot, where the red forbidden icon blends in with the red title background next to it, thus becoming almost invisible:

I would also expect to be able to position the playhead beyond the latest clip in the timeline. It's not necessary to position further. Compare this to your text editor where you are allowed to position the insertion cursor after the last character to add new text.

One reason can be that the video clip also contains audio, but you don't want and need to split this audio from the video because you are going to use a separate audio clip. In my projects, the audio part of the video is the raw audio I never use in the Kdenlive project. Instead of splitting audio, then ungrouping, then deleting to splitted audio clip I simply switch splitting off and mute the video track. Simple and fast workflow.

Re 1. ... same idea over here, keyboard shortcut is alreay enough; we could add a toolbar button as default if really necessary.

Let's see if I'm now correctly set... there are two ways of inserting some clip content into the timeline, either:

  1. insert the bin clip zone (from in to out) into the timeline starting from the playhead position; this is when use timeline zone is off.
  2. insert bin clip content starting from the clip in point into the timeline zone from in to out; use timeline zone is on.

Update: the shorter/longer approach was deleted. It has logical flaws. The toggle button is the new approach.
