At one point I group clips so that I can keep things synced. But then I want to apply effects (like volume) so I ungroup the clips and apply what is needed. But when I save, close, and re-open the project the clips are still grouped.
Ubuntu 16.04, if I forgot to mention that...
Edward, can you supply a minimized project that triggers this behavior? Did you create the project also with Kdenlive 16.08.2?
Created attachment 102057 [details] The file I was working on when discovering the problem. Here is the file I was working on. I just now loaded the project, ungrouped, and resaved. Still grouped. And yes, this is 16.08.2 as set at the very top of this page.
Ok, I saw an update for Kdenlive (16.08.3) and thought I'd see if the issue was taken care of. Sadly, it had not. However, I thought I'd try something. I ungrouped the clips and tried shifting the audio. I could not move it. I then tried to shift the video and I could shift it. Taking a risk I shifted it a few seconds, saved and quit. When I re-opened the project the clips were ungrouped and in their last saved positions. At this point I could also shift the audio clip. But when I returned them so they aligned, saved, quit, and re-opened they were grouped again.
I can confirm with latest git master. I have a few open bugs where grouping is NOT preserved, sub-grouping is also not preserved. It looks like kdenlive now automatically groups any video and audio clip that has the same length and 0 time offset.
