I must have missed it because I don’t remember “repeated problem reports” on this. I only see this thread that was written back in February.
The overreaction to this pretty much negates the documentation threads. What’s the point of writing them if all it takes is for one or two people who didn’t read them or the release notes to present an invalid bug report to change something that didn’t need to be changed?
I thought the point of the documentation was that if someone didn’t understand something in the forum like posting an invalid bug report and it’s answered in the documentation, then just link them to the documentation to not have to explain everything again. That was all the dealing that needed to be done with this or any other issue of invalid bug reports which takes seconds.
Silly, huh? Go over many people’s heads?
Here is me responding to a person 2 years ago who made a thread suggesting a brand new feature that would totally rock the world of Shotcut: Exporting audio.
Apparently, there being an entire category in the Export preset section named literally “audio” was not enough as it still went over that person’s head. But maybe it was just that person whose head this went over and no one else’s.
Yet here is another.
Along with another here.
And just when you thought it was safe… here is another.
And that’s hardly the only thing that goes over people’s heads.
Here is a person who didn’t know that the position parameter can also be keyframed in the Size, Position & Rotate filter. This despite the fact that that person has been on the forum for at least 2 years. Is it silly then to have one keyframe that covers both Size & Position since for whatever reason it has never been clear to that person?
Or about this fellow who had no idea how to increase the volume of a clip even though there is a whole filter with the name “Volume” in it. After being told by both Hudson555x and MusicalBox that to increase the volume of a clip you must use the filter with the name “Volume” in it, this fellow said that this was as “clear as mud”. This fellow also made sure to let everyone know that he has 20 years of software and web development experience. So 20 years of software and web development experience yet it still went over this fellow’s head that a filter named “Volume” is how you change the volume of a clip.
You will never stop these kinds of threads no matter what. What is silly is to overreact to them and think you can eliminate them somehow forever. Even the most basic in your face things in the program will always still go over people’s heads for whatever reason.
But hey, back to your regularly scheduled beta thread.
