Multicam Sync and general worlflow limitations

[Massimo Stella]

Hi John,
All the features a video editor software needs are already on our road 
map.
Multicam editing and advanced timeline nesting are just two of them:

So just be patient and partecipate, as you just did by writing this 
email, to the Kdenlive community.
We'll have soon another Kdenlive café meeting on January.
As soon the dates will be selected Farid will write them on the home 
page of Kdenlive site.
I hope to meet you soon.
Happy holidays to you.

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:


Lightworks v12 5 - Syncing Multicam Sources:

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
