Openshot-qt: Wish: Following features:

[peanutbutterandcrackers]

1. Color grading capabilities
2. Optional frame-by-frame view in the timeline for more precise cutting
   It would be nice if it went from 1 second in timeline, to frame-by-frame.
3. Move-able, drag-able, click-able, delete-able keyframes
4. Aspect Ratio Manipulation
5. Ability to check for marker's properties i.e. the exact time/position of where the marker is placed.
6. Ability to change colur of how the clip looks in the timeline. Not the color of the video (although it would be nice too) but the color of the clip marker in the timeline. That would help organize the work even more, IMHO.
7. Themes?
8. The ability to save custom presets

Thank you, Mr. Jonathan Thomas and other developers for this wonderful software. Your hard work is very much appreciated. May God Bless you.

With much appreciation,

1. Optional frame-by-frame view in the timeline for more precise cutting
   It would be nice if it went from 1 second in timeline, to frame-by-frame.

Is it... not frame-by-frame? I mean, The scrubbing controls (arrow keys) move frame-by-frame, no matter what, and at "1 second" zoom (on my system) each frame looks like it's about _three_ pixels wide (at 25fps), even without fullscreening OpenShot. So, each individual frame is already represented by a distinct, unique position on the timeline.

Or are you referring to the tickmarks on the ruler, which are still only placed at half-second intervals? At "1 second" zoom, the ruler probably _could_ contain tickmarks for individual frames. Or at least every second (odd) frame, with the spaces between representing the even-numbered ones.

[peanutbutterandcrackers]

It is frame-by-frame. But yeah, I am referring to the tickmark thingies. But still, having the time-line show everything frame-by-frame would allow one to have a lot more control. For one, a picture could be added on top-of a frame rather easily - to produce a lot of cool stuffs like the shooting star memes and stuff. Secondly, keyframes would be more identifiable. So, that should help a user out with the editing.

Kdenlive also has frame-by-frame timeline view. Pretty neat, actually. :)

[ferdnyc]

Mmm, I knew there was one I didn't have installed. I can barely keep track, between OpenShot... Pitivi... LiVES... I just spotted "Flowblade" in the rpmfusion repos which I swear I've _never_ heard of before... and of course Kdenlive.

Aaaanyway, Kdenlive is the (a) one I _don't_ have installed, because it forces me to install like half of KDE along with it. So, maybe you can share a screenshot or something? I'm curious... just not "suck KDE into my Gnome world" curious. :no_entry:

[peanutbutterandcrackers]

Haha. I know.

Here are some screenshots:

KDEnlive playing OpenShot Tutorials: because I am a rebel at heart. :D

Hmmm.... since the preview cache will have the images generated for each frame, this may not be _too_ incredibly difficult to add.

[ferdnyc]

Ahh, I see, an "exploded" view of the clip, with each frame fully _visible_ on the timeline. Yeah, neat.

@N3WWN is right, since the frame-by-frame preview has to be generated _anyway_... Only thing is, as of right now I believe only one preview image per rendered frame is created (taking into account all clips/effects/transitions on the timeline), and whenever any timeline change is made, that's invalidated and the cache flushed (for the affected frames). So, the preview cache would have to be able to hold a per-frame-_per-clip_ cache (plus the rendered composite version) to make this go. Still, it's exactly the same caching OpenShot is already performing, simply more of it.

And yes, I did notice the OpenShot video playing in Kdenlive. Which feels a little bit like using Bing to search Google's own websites...

[N3WWN]

@ferdnyc Good point on the preview being a composite rendered frame. The nice thing about the overhead of creating per-frame-per-clip images is that it will be very fast since the output will be almost icon-sized and direct from the clip.

[peanutbutterandcrackers]

So, does that mean we might be closer to frame-by-frame timeline view in OpenShot than I had previously thought? That would be awesome!!!

@ferdnyc - Because YOLO. :D
