--- Comment #1 from Terry Hancock <digita...@gmail.com> ---
This would be also be EXTREMELY USEFUL for animation and VFX workflow.
I am aware of Kdenlive internal "proxy" system, but this ignores an important
other reason for using proxies: sometimes the reason is that the final version
of the shot is not yet available.
Routinely, we create GL previz versions of shots, which can then be used for
editing. But replacing these shots with the final renders (or even updated GL
renders) requires a laborious process of re-cutting the new shot to match the
old, which is just stupidly wasteful, from a workflow perspective. It should be
possible to simply drop in the replacement shot and update the clips that refer
to it. Clearly some error handling would have to deal with cases where the clip
doesn't match the specs of the original clip, but most of the time, it will in
this case.
In fact, we do have a trick, which is to actually load a SYMLINK to the shot,
then update the symlink at the file-system level to the corrected shot.
Kdenlive doesn't know about this, though, and it doesn't update thumbnails or
other things it technically ought to do. But I'll think you'll agree this is an
ugly workaround!
