In the code, timeline "item" classes address clips but *transitions* too.
Maybe that's why there is a generic common name...
Ok, it makes sense then
I usually speak of "source media" for the items in the project bin
(as footage means only video for me, but sounds, titles, pictures etc fall into
"media").
I think that "footage" is sometimes used in a broader acceptation (e.g.
in After Effects), but if you use "media" internally, it's definitely
preferable.
I think the best is to stick to terminologies used in other established editors,
so that newcomers are not surprised.
+1 ; but from what I get, mainstream applications manage to have less
ambiguity by having a less extensive use of the word "Clip" : e.g., in
Final Cut Pro, "proxy clips" are called "proxy media".
So would you think that changing (bin) "Clip" to "Media" would be
useful and worth it?
