Screenshot of rendering dialog with warning message.

When track compositing is set to "Preview" in the timeline, a warning message "Rendering using low quality track compositing" is displayed in the project rendering dialog (see attached screenshot). For me it was not immediately obvious that the warning message could be related to the "Track compositing" settings, since I thought they were only used for displaying video while editing.

IMHO the message should include a hint on to solve the issue, for example a button in the message "More info..." which opens a dialog box which explains where to change the option. Even better, a button to simply change the track compositing settings to "High"

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Create a video in kdenlive.
2. Select "Preview" in "Track compositing" settings above the timeline.
3. Go to Project->Render to see the message.

OBSERVED RESULT
Warning message without a hint on how to solve it.

EXPECTED RESULT
A hint to solve the issue.

Thanks for input. Good point. Set it for wishlist.
Comment 2 Julius Künzel 2022-03-08 21:18:36 UTC
The "Preview" track compositing mode has been dropped with the switch to MLT7 so this is no longer relevant. Closing.
