Kdenlive/Development/Ideas

This page contains ideas for future development which still need refinement.

What should be discussed about ideas?

• Bigger picture: Is the idea related to another topic and should be tackled from a more general perspective (e.g. change the timeline behaviour altogether and redesign the clip monitor for trimming, instead of adjusting here and there)
• What is the benefit of the idea? Does it target a reasonably large user group to justify the development effort?
• What is the estimated effort? If it is hard to estimate, what details or what knowledge is missing?

What are possible goals?

• Provide a workflow that is efficient enough to work on long projects
• Provide core functionality that is expected from a professional video editor
• Attract more developers to speed up development

What are possible benefits?
