Dear Kdenlive Team,

Do you consider timeline refactoring stable enough to implement timeline 
imbrication (and the possibility to add multiple timelines to a project) 
?

Only one timeline limit Kdenlive usage for editing short films. When you 
have a lot of material, it's not easy to manage a project with only one 
timeline.

There is also 2 (small) uncomfortable behaviors :

- when you play a media then move the cursor on the timeline, the 
playing action continue (it will be more comfortable to stop playback 
when the cursor is moved).
- when you select precisely an image with the keyboard arrows then you 
want to cut (X tool) at the selected frame, you need actually to 
zoooooom in to be sure that the cut will apply at the current image.

It's a common feedback from Kdenlive users at the École d'Art d'Uccle 
(in Brussels) where there is 30 students from 12 to 60 years old using 
Kdenlive as main editor for their films.


Very happy to see Kdenlive becoming better and more stable on every 
release. Thank you for your work.
