[kdenlive] R: Workflow Feature: resize clip end, moving following clips in same track?

Hi Harald,
If I well understood you're just asking for a ripple trimming feature.
Yes this is one if the feature we are discussing about.
Anyway I guess it's better you ad it to the fabricator board where we are building the next roadmap.
https://phabricator.kde.org/project/view/40/
By the way I can tell you that I'll insert all the 4 trimming features in the board soon because I want to suggest all the feature I wrote about in my document published here:

Thanks for asking.

Massimo Stella.

Ogg: [kdenlive] Workflow Feature: resize clip end, moving following clips in same track?



Hi Kdenlivers,
I would like to get feedback on a possible workflow improvement feature for Kdenlive in the hope that it is not too specific to my projects.
Alas, I'm doing tech educational videos in my day job. Video is actually my way to get important knowledge into the heads of my fellow workers, avoiding throwing large piles of printed paper at them.
I'm first recording illustrations I'm drawing on a tablet using an active pen (using an external HDMI recording box). This recording hasn't yet the proper timing for audio explanations that will be added later. Also, the raw footage has recorded UI interactions that I want to have in the final rendered video. So I basically cut the raw video into bits of drawing activity, joined by stills taken from the same raw footage. I thus have a single video track that basically is d1, s1, d2, s2, ... where d is a region with drawing, s are the stills. Alle clips are adjacent, but the still clips haven't their final length yet.
Next I record audio explanations (in Audacity) and do some minor audio cleanup. Then I drag the voice over onto an audio track. Now the daunting work follows where I need to get the d, s sequences in sync with audio. Basically, I need to resize the stills so that the next drawing clip will be in sync with the audio explanations.
What I would like to propose is a new edit mode where I can resize the right end of a clip, such as a still, even if there are adjacent clips to it. All other following clips on the same track will automatically move accordingly as the user resizes the clip.
To my understanding there isn't such an edit tool yet in Kdenlive; if I'm wrong I would be glad to learn where to find it! I'm also unsure if my proposal is actually one of the editing modes that were discussed here some time ago with respect to pro editing modes that Kdenlive currently lacks.
Best regards, Harald
