I tested the latest Kdenlive from git and I found the new generators and
the new library with the nesting function.
First of all I have to admit that you are doing a great job because
kdenlive is growing very fast, it's becoming better and more stable.
I updated already my post about the new features.
I also tested the new powerful nesting function (even if I still believe
that for professional purpose is essential to have the option to use
more sequences in the same project) by opening a project long 7 minutes
and 17 seconds formed by 8 tracks (5 video and 3 audio) with these results:
- When I tried to expand it in the new project timeline a message shown
up telling me that there are not enough tracks but it didn't specify
which kind of tracks, video or audio.
- For the first time I noticed that you can't add more than one track at
time, so I had to repeat the operation more times.
- Kdenlive had problems to expand the virtual clip on the timeline in
the correct way. I don't know if this latest issue is due to the fact
that the original project was created by Kdenlive ver. 0.9.10. Anyway I
imported it and saved it in the new format before to start with the
nesting procedure. The main problem is that in the original project I
put some audio clips also on the lower video track. When Kdenlive
expanded the the virtual clip I didn't found some audio clips and I
found some video clips duplicated.
I hope this information can be useful.
Ciao.
Massimo.

Hi Massimo, this is a phenomenal post - this kind of deep anaylsis is
extremely valuable and I think we're all very grateful for the work
you put into it.
I completely agree with your (constructive) criticism and although
there's clearly still a way for this program to go, though it is a
good sign that most of the major hurdles to professional adoption can
now fit within a one clear post!
Regarding the different trim modes, there is some Ripple
functionality, at least: 'Ripple Delete' deletes the selected zone
between In and Out points on all unlocked tracks, and slides
everything back to fill the gap:

The only important workflow issue which I think wasn't covered
(though you somewhat touched upon it in the 'nesting' section) is
copying cut clips and edited sections between different projects.
In current git, I introduced a new "Library" widget that is designed
for that - storing and passing sequences between projects. The UI and
workflow could be improved, and it is not much tested but the most
important features should be here.
To use it:
1 - Show the Library widget.
2 - Select whatever you want in timeline (clips, transitions)
3 - Copy timeline selection to Library (Using the Bookmark icon in
Library)
This will put the sequence in the Library.
Next, open another project where you want to use that sequence, and
simply drag and drop the sequence into this project's Bin.
You now have a "nested" clip that can be inserted in timeline. Now the
best part is that you can "expand" this nested clip in timeline to
edit its clips/effects/transitions. To do this, select the sequence in
timeline, and go to the menu Timeline > Current Clip > Expand Current
Clip.
This will restore the multi-track clips.
