Hi, as for expand clip sometimes not expanding correctly: I can second that. I've tested several existing Kdenlive 15.12.x projects, ranging from 7 min to 17 min. For testing, I'm simply adding the .kdenlive file to the project bin, then drag it into the timeline. Next, I expand the kdenlive project clip and wait to what will happen. Usually, a few clips will have gone amiss during expansion. I've not reported this yet as I'm unsure what the status of the clip expand function is. Nevertheless, I find the library bin and expand clip to be incredibly useful. Many thanks for them! Best regards, Harald

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.
