Multicam Sync and general worlflow limitations

[DogFilm]

Hi, happy holodays!

Just tried to quickly edit some xmas footage and just for the fun of it I
wanted to use kdenlive to explore the new stable version a bit.

I was disappointed to not find any reasonable concept of syncing multicam
material - a very important thing that a video editor could help a lot, if
it supported it.

I would like to please you to take a look at how this is done in Lightworks
- you might adopt some great workflow ideas from a few minutes of this
tutorial video that will blow your mind:

Also please note how Lightworks has a very important concept of not
centering the workflow around *one* timeline, but how a timeline is just a
tool in a room - this is very important for serious editing of lots of
clips with variations and quickly trying different things with a set of
clips. It is one of the key concepts that makes Lightworks so different -
centering the workflow around one timeline in fact is a key misconception
in most video editors.

Maybe you like the idea of improving the workflow, especially adding good
support for a multicam-workflow would be a great addition for serious
users!

I really like your software, that is why I am posting this hint about
conceptual limitations, so I hope that you take some time to think about it
and understand how incredibly powerful such a relatively small change could
be.

Have some nice days and
thank you very much for your attention!

John
