Bug ID: 502094
Summary: Image sequences workflow shortcomings.
Classification: Applications
Product: kdenlive
Version: git-master
Platform: Other
OS: Other
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: Project Bin & Import
Assignee: j...@kdenlive.org
Reporter: gabcor...@gmail.com
Target Milestone: ---
Currently, the work with image sequences in Kdenlive faces several
shortcomings:
- It's cumbersome to refresh already loaded image sequences to take into
account changes in the duration of the sequence.
(currently, you have to double click the clip in the Project Bin to reopen the
"Add Image Sequence" dialog, forcing a refresh*).
* perhaps a line about that could be included in the manual, to guide users on
that matter.
- You can't use the "Replace Clip" option to effectively replace an image
sequence in the Project bin.
(perhaps if the "Add Image Sequence" dialog still showed all of the initial
settings present when creating the sequence in first place, this could be a way
for users to be able to replace it with another sequence).
...I'd still prefer to just be able to replace a sequence, like with any other
video clip, though.
* I've already filed a bug (#488648) about replacing image sequences some
months ago, so that one could now be closed, as it's included in this one.
- There's no way to access the sequence's image Properties panel, to control
and change things like pixel aspect ratio, field order, frame rate, color
space, color range, etc. as you would with any other video file or image.
That's a blow, especially for people working with non-square pixel aspect ratio
images or interlaced images.
In short, anything that could be done to improve the handling of image
sequences inside Kdenlive would be important, to be able to give a better user
experience when editing things like 3D animations or other post production
assets, that usually come in that format .
I know all of those inconveniences most probably originate in the way Kdenlive
treats sequences as image presentations, so I guess there's so much that can be
done to solve them, without actually reworking image sequences handling inside
the program altogether.
Thanks for listening!
