Description Timwi 2025-02-26 14:28:57 UTC 
SUMMARY

The feature that is called “Insert Space” in the menu but “Add Space” in the dialog title, should have an option to move markers as well. Otherwise, inserting space in an elaborate project with many markers causes them to go out of sync.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Open a project with multiple markers.
2. Use “Insert Space” to insert space somewhere, with “Insert space in all tracks” selected.
3. Click OK.

OBSERVED RESULT

The markers stay where they are.

EXPECTED RESULT

The markers after the insertion point should move as well, or at least there should be an option (a checkbox in the dialog) to make that happen.

Are you talking about Guides or Markers? Guides are fixed in the timeline, Markers are fixed with the clip. If you add space, Guides are not moving, but Markers will. Please confirm and the set the status to CONFIRMED.

That said, I agree with your proposal to make it an option to move Guides when inserting space in the timeline. Let's also discuss whether "Insert space in all tracks" should move Guides because the intention is to move stuff right to make room for more stuff across the board.

My apologies! Yes, I meant guides. I said “markers” because I’m still a little used to OpenShot.
