> 1. Capitalize all effect and transition items in widgets (looks more professional)
As a user of software I subjectively agree. :)
In addition, underscores should be replaced by spaces (like in addition_alpha)
Regarding transitions: They were very confusing to me in the beginning. I only ever used Composite until I realized there's dissolve. Are you sure there are audio transitions? I don't think there are. I don't understand most effects, so I couldn't make any category suggestions I'm afraid.
@qubodup I agree, underscores should be replaced with spaces. Would look more professional and polished, and less programmy technical jargon. I guess there weren't any audio transitions. My bad. :) Maybe I need to tinker with the transitions and learn more about how they work before suggesting how to possibly categorize them. /me agrees too, this hodgepoge of uppercase, lowercase beginnings and underscores is distracting and sometimes even interfering, especially the underscores. A first classification could be into transitions that operate over time (thus often keyframable, but some are not) and those that are static, fixed. Affine, dissolve are examples for the first category, while multiply, burn, dodge are examples of the second category. A lot of transitions from the second cat then can be organized according to classical groups as seen in TheGimp, PS, and others. The key here is "blend modes". For these I could imagine that we simply lift these categorizations from TheGimp. Such transitions groups are multiply+divide etc. @wegerf, I'll have to look over the GIMP categories as well. I too think they could be a good reference for transition/blend categories. This is fixed with the effect review in 20.12.0. Feel free to reopen this bug or create a new report if this is not what you expect with the latest version (https://kdenlive.org/en/download/) |
