Bug ID: 359841
Summary: 15.13.0 - Rename "Crop, Scale and Position" and "Pan
and Zoom" effects to be more appropriate?
Product: kdenlive
Version: unspecified
Platform: Archlinux Packages
OS: Linux
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: wishlist
Priority: NOR
Component: User Interface
Assignee: j...@kdenlive.org
Reporter: jesse.dub...@gmail.com
(1) The "Crop, Scale and Positon" effect doesn't allow you to actually adjust
the clip's position like Pan and Zoom does. I might suggest removing the
"Positon" from the title and change it to "Crop, Scale and Tilt", since those
are the names of the parameters you can modify.
(2) A few iterations ago, the Crop Scale and Position effect titled the "Crop"
parameters as just that... crop. Crop Left, Crop Right, etc. Recently, they've
been changed to "Clip". Doesn't that seem a little misleading? After all,
clipping is more like cutting the clip in the timline itself, and it's also
used to define all the different types of media in the project. I'd suggest
considering to change them back to "Crop..." instead of "Clip...". It's not a
big deal, but it might their function a little more uniform with the effect
title.
(3) Similarly, "Pan" is the industry term of moving the camera position, not
the subject. But, in this case, Pan doesn't actually move the entire monitor
positon, but a single clip. Because this is affecting a clip, I'd suggest
considering to change it to something like "Adjust Position and Zoom". The
effect's parameters have more to do with the position than the Crop, Scale and
Position effect, anyways: it actuall give you control to adjust the position,
and even align the position to various parts of the monitor.
Reproducible: Always
Suggested while using Kdenlive 15.13.0 git master on Antergos Linux x64, KDE
Plasma 5.5.4.
