<p>Absolutely fantastic! I have been wishing for this feature for so
long, but due to his long wish list I did not dare to say. <br>
This feature is the basis for several timelines. I miss the
timeline feature in Cinelerra for a long time. If you agree, I
would like to make some suggestions on this topic for January.
This EDL feature can be extended relatively easily in my opinion.</p>

<div class="gmail_default" style="font-size:small">With the
latest checkin, you can now edit EDL that is included with
your project as Clips, Nested Clips, or Xml. For example, if
you have a nested clip that originally had several plugins
added to it before it was nested, you can edit those plugin
parameter values. Previously to make any changes to these EDL
clips/nested clips, you had to remake the whole clip from
scratch. This is done via "Open EDL" and button click as
described below by the <b>**</b>.<br>

couple of modifications related to this are noticeable to
include the following:</div>
<div class="gmail_default" style="font-size:small"> - in the

<div class="gmail_default" style="font-size:small"><b>**</b> -
in the Clip folder, there is a new option to "Open EDL" for
the highlighted clip. When you choose this option, the clip
will be brought up on the timeline. <b>VERY IMPORTANT to
note</b>, the previous timeline EDL is "pushed onto a stack"
(this is programmer talk) so it is remembered and to get back
to that you have to "pop the stack" (more programmer talk) by
clicking on the button in the upper right hand corner of the
timeline above where the Proxy switch button would be.
Usually this button will read 1 if you choose "Open EDL" and
then 0 when back to your original timeline. You can go
several levels deep so instead of 1, it could be 2, 3, ... but
I got to tell you that you can get lost if you overdo it.
Once the clip is open on the timeline, you can edit it however
you want.<br>

<div class="gmail_default" style="font-size:small"><br>

<div class="gmail_default" style="font-size:small"> - in the
Media folder, once you have nested a clip, the Nested clip
will be located here<br>
</div>
<div class="gmail_default" style="font-size:small"> - in the
Media folder, the option to unnest the clip is now called "EDL
to clip" which results in the nested clip being reverted to a
clip and back into the clip folder with only a name of "Clip
#". The nested clip is also still in the Media folder.</div>
<div class="gmail_default" style="font-size:small"> - in the
Media folder, you now have the new option to "Open EDL" as
described for clips above. But in this case when you Open EDL
and edit the changes, those changes will take affect on any
and all occurrences of that nested clip on the timeline.</div>

<div class="gmail_default" style="font-size:small">I will make a
demo later. There are Debian 9/10 static tars that contain
this and other mods in the Download / Documentation / File
Storage at <a href="http://cinelerra-gg.org" target="_blank">cinelerra-gg.org</a>. Would be happy
to make static tars for any other usual distro/version if you
would like to test early.<br>
