SUMMARY
See $SUBJECT

This is a wishlist item, but I think there are several valid user stories for it. In any way, it makes management of clips much easier and is probably rather easy to implement.

1. Add usage indicator / count to project bin:
I am creating a collage or collection of short clips, and I want to make sure that every clip has been used at least once. I would like a counter to appear either as an overlay (like the "P" for proxy clips), or as text beside it.

2. Add clip count to track view:
I am creating a collage or collection of short clips, and I want to make sure that one track contains exactly the number of clips I have in my project bin, or (in case of splits) more than that. This can also help identifying accidentally split clips or double splits.


Using Kdenlive 21.07.20 (nightly flatpak) on KDE Neon.

Thanks for your request!

1. This option is already implemented. E.g. [3] beside the duration timecode in the project bin means that the clip is used three times in the timeline. You can also filter the bin clips to only show unused clips. It is also possible to show all instances of a clip in the timeline (Right click on bin clip > Clip in Timeline)

2. I am not really sure if this is necessary because as far as I can see you can identify all of this with the functions mentioned above. Please check if that is true and close this report if you don't see any valid points (for a feature request) left.

1. True, but I didn't notice. Maybe an overlay icon over the thumbnail is more noticeable and feasible to implement? Like the "P" for "Proxy clip".

2. Maybe. I'll think about it again. Thanks!
