Is the above really what you observe in 'daily life', because as I told you before, I would love to work on stuff, but without any serious 'we are ready to get people in to do real work and end with something that they can actually use', I feel quite stock. For example: I'm now for weeks thinking about coding a simple videosynchronisation program, because none of the programs I work with to do my video editing is able to give me the ability to do frame synchronisation in a way that is easy. Indeed it is only an afternoon work... This is another problem in opensource. So please *do* contact offlist if there is work to do with a focus, and an end of a tunnel, and a team that works as a team. > Am 27.12.2011 18:00, schrieb Stefan de Konink: >> To do this properly also multiple preview windows would be >> 'required' to do anything useful, Some form of A-B editing not >> yet present is Cinelerra. > > Interesting question closely related: how can we control those > multiple viewer windows with the keyboard?

Since there are multiple things to realise here; I think the linear editing should be as easy as pressing a key of the numpad. Press button select that view, and on the non-linear editor you see the opacity of the track at the point you switched change. Given that there are 9 short cuts, that might be just enough. Nothing to stop such thing from developing. Back to your question. Given that on my keyboard I have 3 nice lights above my numpad, I wouldn't now suggest to make a A-B-C player ;), but what about giving NumLock the ability to get in editing/control mode of the currently selected track? 1, Numlock, -> -> ->, Numlock, 2, Numlock, <-, Numlock, Enter Now you see here, the seeking could even be done with the keys next to the numpad, without switching Numpad them on/off. >> Maybe the first target could be: - create a player that gives a >> visual preview (in a lower resolution) of all video-tracks > >> Next target: - Allow audio tracks to be (hard) attached to >> videotracks > > shouldn't that rather work on the base of individual clips? since > clips or groups of clips are the building blocks we're using most > frequently when editing? I think an individual clip could be actually a group of clips, or do you think differently?
