Hi
Still hasn't got the easy zoom/crop that 2.41 had.
I've just spent 15 mins getting a sort of zoom that took just seconds in the previous version, (and it still wasn't ideal!) Can't that effect just be retained, (or the coding just popped back in as simply another effect?) It's used such a lot in slide shows. (Burns effect.) You shouldn't have to phaff around with crop+scale%. What is demonstrated on the instruction video for this effect is NOT a Zoom!
Selecting multiple clips seems to show clips selecting (going blue) and unselecting going light blue) eg. Left click Clip 1 with shift down,(blue) then click the others (typical Windows multiselect action ) but clicking the next clip unselects clip 1 (goes light blue) but selects clip 2.(goes blue) Clicking clip 3 (shift still down) deselects clip 2 (goes pale blue and selects clip 3 (goes blue)...... Clicking clip1 followed by clip3 (shift down) just leaves clip 3 selected........This gives the impression you have ended up with still only one clip selected. In fact if you then clip the Transition tab and select the transition you are told you have multiselected. That's a bit confusing.
It works normally in the media list to put multiple clips on the sequence line.
And how do you remove the multiselection? Clicking a single entry on the media list deselects the others but on the sequence line clicking a single clip afterwards still leaves the others (apparently) selected even when only one is blue.
This is potentially disasterous as although you may think there is now only a single clip selected,(as only one is blue,) choosing to delete this deletes all the others as well!!
Selecting the Crop "effect via the Effects tab gives choice Forcing aspect ratio of "NONE" whereas selecting it and adding it from the "Video Effects." window gives choices of None...4:3 and 16:9 Occasionally these AR choices sometimes gets jumbled up with 4:3 option being printed out of place.
