Chuck,
I know that you have just asked for things that deal with A/B roll editing, but
here is something I think a lot of us would like.
An undo button for placing croutons. More than once, I have let go of the mouse
button at the wrong time and a crouton has fallen ontop of an exiting one. The
results being that the existing crouton is gone.
In a small project this is just an inconvenience, but in a large project with
hundreds of croutons, it is almost impossible to know if you have made a
crouton dissapear. When you are duplicating croutons there is no way of just
looking at the screen and remembering if something is missing.
Maybe better than an undo button, would be a warning that you are about to
replace an existing crouton, or even better, just have the croutons that are
already in the project move aside.
I'll leave the way you do it up to the programmers, but it is far to easy to
place a new crouton ontop of an old one by mistake.
Maybe a lock on/off switch. In one position you could overwrite an existing
crouton. In the other position, the crouton would move inbetween two croutons
instead of overwriting one.
See, I've given you all kinds of possibilities. But, we really need something.
Thanks.
Fred
