--- Comment #4 from Jesse <jesse.dub...@gmail.com> --- Thanks JB for adding the patch. Seems to work fine now! I also appreciate you welcoming feedback on this new stuff. I'm always happy to help with new suggestions or ideas; whether you think they're best or not, I know it can be helpful to have a different set of eyes on the matter. :) I do have a few bugs, and some suggestions about these new gradient enhancements. Sorry if it seems a little lengthy; I like to be thorough so there's no ambiguity. The "B" is for bugs, and the "S" is for suggestions. Please let me know if there's any confusion about any of these. BUGS B - new titles don't work properly when compositing tracks. B - The align-left button is not correct; it's currently the align-right button. Should be align-left. B - In the "Gradient Editor" dialog window, when you select/highlight a gradient that's already been made, then edit its parameters, the changes don't affect the current profile selected/highlighted. They should be modifying the highlighted gradient instead of requiring the user to create a new gradient in order to apply the changes. SUGGESTIONS FOR THE TITLE CLIP EDITOR W/ NEW GRADIENT FEATURES & CONTROLS/FUNCTIONS S - Have a way to make gradient apply to entire text field, OR each line individually. Currently, the gradient affects the entire text field only, not each individual line. A choice would be rather essential. S - Start new graidients off at numbers 1, not 0. Using 0 as a starting number is more programmer-esque. :) S - be able to modify the text shadow parameters? (blur level, direction, and how far the shadow is from the text itself). S - When there is no gradient profile already created, have the empty text field say something like "Select gradient profile", then, if it's empty/there are no profiles present, have a menu option in the dropdown menu that says "Create new profile" or "Create new gradient". When that text menu option is clicked, it opens up the Gradient profile editor. This would be more intuitive for many users and follow a natural progressing they're more than likely familiar with, I believe. You could have this in addition to the button you've already made. That way, users could find the feature easily via whatever course is most natural for them. S - I now understand better what you were trying to do with the icon to the right of the gradient selection field: You were having it open the "Gradient Profile Editor" (if that's the best name) for the purpose of creating AND editing gradients. Maybe change the "+" icon to the pencil icon, with the tooltip saying "Create & Edit Profiles" or "Create & Edit Gradients" or "Edit Gradient profiles" or "Gradient profiles"... something like that. (Sorry, I don't mean to be wishy washy about the icons. :) ) SUGGESTIONS FOR THE GRADIENT EDITOR DIALOG WINDOW S - Instinctively, after I make my gradient the way I want it, I go down and click OK, rather than clicking "+" to make a new profile. Obviously, clicking OK doesn't save the profile, or even edit the current profile I'd selected/highlighted. Consider that when a user makes a new gradient profile that they like by adjusting the parameters, and clicks "OK" (rather than clicking the "+" button), it creates a new profile by default, closes the gradient editing dialog window, then uses that profile automatically for the title text that was selected/highlighted. S - Maybe change the "Dialog" text at the top of the window to something like "Gradient Editor" or "Title Gradients" or "Text Gradients"... something a little more video editor-friendly, rather than technical or programmer speak. :) S - Maybe have a header above the gradient editing controls that says "Create new Gradient", then a header in between the new gradient controls and the already made gradient profiles saying "Current Gradient profiles" or something to let the user know these gradients are the ones that they have already made and saved in the past. This is just to help the user distinguish more easily what each section of the editing window is for. S - the sample letters look a little rough and jagged around the edges. Consider smoothing them out if possible? Would be one of those nice little polish things. S - maybe instead of the "+" button adding a profile with the currently active parameters chosen in the section above (with color 1, color 2, and angle), the user needs to click "+" to add a new profile FIRST, (with the default white to black values) and THEN edit its parameters in the controls above after it's been created, not before. Again, it would just seem more intuitive that way. Thanks for your time sir, as always! -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
