Cinelerra usability

Here I just would like to note some of my impressions on cinelerra usability to make them available to everyone in the hope to make cinelerra a better application. :) The point is that cinelerra is great and is full of feature ... but we should make it accessible for everyone :)

  • Video fade is totally broken from 2.0. New behaviour isn't usable at all... just for some particular circumstances. The idea was to restore original one and optionally enable the new one.
  • Video playback should be tuned to work for every hw environment (I'm talking about the not stopping playback issue).
  • Export codec should be decimated to show only to working one(render menu is full of non working or buggy stuff).
  • Imho it would be handy to set the project format automatically according with the first video loaded.
  • Given that in some particular condition cinelerra stop responding but the gui react, a button "panic" to restore a clean condition would be good.
  • It would be cool to add the manual.cinelerra.org inside cinelerra and/or to make it easily accessible from the application (maybe an help menu after the window one)
  • It would be cool to add a keyboard reference. (hey cinelerra rox with the shortcut but I can't remember them all! ;))
  • A full screen playback for the compositor.
  • Resources Icons for Audio effect, Video effects, ecc ... should be changed in something more intuitive
  • Afaik title doesn't work with truetype fonts.
  • Notify when the user uses alpha and don't use correct colorspace. (i.e. chromakey with yuv8 or rgb8)
  • Select yuva8 by default

Given that I'm not into the cinelerra development I can't know if some of this stuff would require a lot of work. As for now I'm writing them down.

I'm a [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wiki wiki]... so edit me if you feel to ;)

bye
