0000188: changing clip speed is faulty/unintuitive

Notes
(0000410) madsdyd (administrator) 2008-10-14 16:47	See also bug 0000197

(0000885) madsdyd (administrator) 2008-11-08 17:57	The situation has been improved in svn rev 2619 (please test). It does not, however, move the end clips back if you change the speed of a middle clip. Perhaps the spacer tool is required for this?

(0001247) madsdyd (administrator) 2008-11-18 12:01	Note for jb. on why this issue is still open. Try this, which I think is a commen use case; "Playing some section of a clip in slowmotion": - start kdenlive - load a clip - insert clip on timeline - cut clip into three parts (a, b, c) - change the speed of part b to 25 % - playback: note the jump between b and c What I would like to happen when changing clip speed is to move the remaining clips on the track back (when reducing speed) and forward (when increasing speed) in order to maintain the frame "order" on the track (perhaps even timeline?). If you agree that this would be good, then I reckon it needs 0000271 to work? If you do not think this functionality is good, then this issue should be closed.

(0001900) madsdyd (administrator) 2008-12-22 21:54	Update on this issue. Much of the needed functionality for this issue has been implemented in 0000271. There now is a "reasonable" work around for the use case; one can move the clips right of the one you want to slow down to the right, prior to changing the speed on the clip, then move them left afterwards. Would still be nice to have a "complete" operation, that does it all. But, it might be quite involved, if it also needs to move clips on other tracks.

(0001917) madsdyd (administrator) 2008-12-23 18:11	And, I can see no harm in postponing this issue to 0.7.2, if pressed for time.

(0002360) LeHomard (developer) 2009-02-05 15:21	After testing in latest svn version, the issue is still there, when changing speed the in/out points are changed. So when cutting a clip into three parts and changing the speed of the middle one (even after moving the other clip out of the way) and playing the full clip, it jumps when changing subclip. I tried making this video with Kdenlive : http://blip.tv/file/1699366/ [^] There's a fair amount of speed up / slow motion all over the place, and it just wasn't possible to use Kdenlive efficiently for this. I ended up installing a trial of Vegas Pro...

This results in a crash when trying to undo a speed change. Steps to reproduce: 1. Create a new project 2. Load a video file 3. Insert video clip into time line 4. Right-click there to change the clip speed and set it to 50% 5. Undo Expected results: Speed change is undone. Actual results: Kdenlive crashes. IMHO this should raise the severity quite a bit.

(0004955) Granjow (developer) 2010-04-10 13:14	Still valid. Reproduce: 1 Add a clip, cut into 3 pieces A, B, C 2 Add speed effect to B 3 Set speed of B to 25% Video jumps between B and C, as the length of B does not change. 4 Undo setting the speed to 25% B is now only 25% as long as before, the rest is blank. 5 Undo adding the speed effect Speed effect is removed, but B remains 25% of original length 6 Undo cutting clip between B and C Now it looks fine again 7 Redo cutting clip between B and C Looks the way it should have at point 5 already Summary: * Undo/redo partially broken * Speed effect produces weird results. Slowing down a clip should perhaps be blocked if there is not enough space on the timeline. Additional problem at the moment: 5 Move C to the track below 6 Move C to the track above again Does not work: Status bar says «Cannot move clip to position ...».
