Description Unknown 2015-04-22 21:34:31 UTC

When a video clip is inserted into the timeline (With "split audio & video" active) and I try to apply a transition by clicking the green arrow on the bottom-right of the video clip, the yellow effect/transition bar appears behind the video and audio clips; I have to move the clip to get to the effect behind it. Consider keeping the effect above the video and audio clip, as well as having it move along with the clips in real time when they're dragged around (the latter part would really help with polish and presence of Kdenlive).

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Drag clip from Clip monitor into timeline
2. Left-click green arrow on the bottom-left or right of a clip in the timeline to create transition
3.

Actual Results:
The transition bar (yellow bar) appears behind both the video and audio clip, invisible and un-editable until you move the clip away from its original position, revealing the transition behind it. Subsequently, clicking the video or audio clip AFTER selecting the transition bar will, again, cause the transition to fade behind the audio and video. (see included video for example)

Expected Results:
The transition is applied over the respective piece of media, in plain view, linked to the media it was derived from (so that it follows along with the clip/media in real time when it's dragged). Mostly, it's expected to not be hidden.

Testing Kdenlive 15.04.0 on Kubuntu 15.04 beta 2 pre-release, with KDE Plasma 5.3 via ppa. PPA's used: ppa:sunab/kdenlive-svn, and ppa:kubuntu-ppa/beta

I can see how this would happen, provided that the video and audio tracks are right against each other.

I normally avoid this by having an empty video track in between where I am adding clips and the audio tracks. The transition bar now appears in between the video track and the empty video track. 

In reality, kdenlive should not try and fade between an audio and video track if there is no audio on the video track.

I just fixed the issue with transition appearing behind grouped clips.
