<p>Urgh, this is a really bad experience -- didn't thought that
kdenlive refactoring nightly might be this bad. The

ate all my 16G RAM after loading an existing project so fast, so
when I realized, my system was already dead due to heavy swapping
and I had to hard reset it. Something I definitely don't like.</p>
<p>Other things I noticed before my system was killed by an video
editor, off my head as I don't intend to try another refactoring
nightly before long, as I need my system:</p>
<p>- critical: eating all available 16GB, going nuts, when starting
timeline preview rendering. requires system hard reset, due to
heavy swapping. at least, preview rendering itself not crashing
anymore, but, erm ... pyrrhic.<br>
</p>
<p>- major: frei0r.scale0tilt still missing.</p>
<p>- major: audio clip playback unreliable; reproducible on projects
some of the audio clips won't playback anything, despite the
project is correct and works on stable.</p>
<p>.major: locked/unlocked track icon indistinguishable. Can you
spot the difference easily while working on a larger project on a
20" 2560x1440 19:6 display? Yes, I can choose an annoying and
distracting high contrast color scheme. But that's bad for work.
Why not use the older, yet clearly distinguishable icons which
there designed exactly for this purpose? Is this design over
function, kind of Apple video editor?<br>

<p>- major: I need to learn to slowly and precisely navigate in the
timeline in order to either correctly hit a transition or the clip
for setting either clip or transition properties. Or I need to
constantly resize tracks just in order to work efficiently again.
The old design allowed me a much quicker and yet precised work in
the timeline. The transition height as well as position needs some
tweaking? Try that with collapsed tracks...<br>

<p>- minor: timecode overlay in monitor uses non-fixed font, so it
changes width, jerking around annoyingly when playing clips or
timeline.</p>
<p>- minor: timecode barely readable. Try to find that on a 20"
2560x1440 19:6 display.<br>

<p>- minor: is that a transition on the audio clip??</p>

</blockquote>
<p>- minor: where can I set all tracks to "all frames" thumbnails
instead of having to check each track individually?<br>
</p>
- minor: timeline clip context menu missing all icons.

<p>- minor: project bin icons distorted</p>

<p>- minor: yet very annoying: appimage doesn't pick up the correct
KDE style as set in my session, but instead comes with its own
one.<br>
