Over a year ago, I told him that a two timelines were a recipe for disaster, and a simple timeline is a Bad Idea. First because it wastes precious development efforts, creates additional bugs (it WILL), and then because the so-called "advanced" timeline is not "advanced", it's just "not crippled". There's nothing difficult to grasp about it, and I've seen novice video editors use such timelines a lot, without problems. <BR/><BR/>Vegas Video is an example of an advanced timeline, and without prior experience, I mastered it in about five minutes of playing around with it.<BR/><BR/>Just focus on the advanced timeline and deprecate the simple one. Easier for the devs, and better for the users (both in the short and long run). And your users don't get to be considered as if they were not smart enough to use a proper timeline (you know, something that proportionally reflects the time).Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
