Well, I'm strongly against this idea. It's very easy to get lost if the app suddenly decides to change zoom levels on it's own. One would probably place the images/titles in a "silent area", and when the timeline zooms in, the new user might belive that the whole project have been wiped. > > > see the note about customisable length). > > Cinelerra has a setting for this already, in the Preferences. > But a better place for the setting would be the file load dialog. > I don't like save/load and other dialogs cluttered, but since cin isn't the most uncluttered app around, and it nicely saves all these settings, it would probably be a pretty good solution.
