Description Guido 2021-09-04 09:00:03 UTC
It would be a great workflow improvement for the clip monitor to show a clip when it is clicked on the timeline. On click kdenlive should also raise the clip monitor. This would make it much easier to apply effects to the clip in the timeline.

Thanks for your report! There is already an action to raise the selected clip in the project bin and project monitor ("Clip in Project Bin"). You can define a custom shortcut via menu Help > Configure Keyboard Shortcuts… and you can reach it on the context menu of a timeline clip.
I am not sure if you are aware about all the different ways of applying an effect, because usually it only depends on the clip shown in the clip monitor if you want to apply it on bin level. In Kdenlive you can add effects on multiple levels: to a timeline clip (most common), to a track (or track region), to everything (master) or to a bin clip (affects all the children in the timeline).
I don't think it makes much sense to raise the selected timeline clip automatically as it would brake several other workflows, I guess.

Please check if my tips help you with your workflow and if this report can be closed. Otherwise please give more details on the workflow you requested this for…
