Are there any other options? How about only a single mode in which the monitor window displays whatever timeinterval is selected in the timeline. Here is how MovieDV works: There are two different kinds of 'Selections' in the timeline. First, you can select a clip, or mor clips and drag them around, (that's what kdenlive can do alrready). Second, you can select 'time intervals' by clicking/draging in the ruler (not the timeline opbjects). If you then press 'play', you'll get a preview of the interval you have selected. If there is an eaay way (context-menu/button) to 'Select All' in the timeline ruler, then you can watch the whole thing. > > - Why are there so many Video Tracks in the timeline even if I just > > use one?
