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.
A release adding / correcting the previous 4 features / bugs would be highly celebrated :-)
Thanks!
