<p>One of the greatest strengths of commercial NLEs is the ability
to work with multiple timelines.<br>
<br>
Why work with multiple timelines?<br>
<br>
A movie project can be divided into several sections such as
intro, main part 1, main part 2 and credits.<br>
<br>
From this I make four timelines called Intro, Part 1, Part 2,
Credits.<br>
<br>
This splits the whole movie project into four parts and allows
faster working in the main window, because not the whole movie
project is loaded in the main window, but only a quarter of the
movie. This speeds up the work a lot and allows other contributors
to work on different parts of a film project and finally add them
together and make an overall coordination.<br>
<br>
When the intro, main part 1, main part 2 and the credits are
finished, these timelines are joined together to form an overall
timeline. <br>
<br>
A new timeline called Composition is created and Timeline Intro,
Timeline Part 1, Timeline Part 2 and Timeline Credits are dragged
into it.<br>
<br>
Basically this feature is an extension of the EDL feature.</p>
<p>I created the photomontage very fast and therefore they have a
lot of potential for improvement. The final solution can of course
look completely different, the pictures only serve to illustrate
my idea.</p>

<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>

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>

- 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>
