[LGM2009] ability to mass-unlink
Last modified: 2009-05-12 11:06:52 UTC
Let's say we have 30 clips and want to make a music video, so we put them in the timeline but we don't want the actual sound from the clips, just replace it all by a single music soundtrack: - it should be possible to delete audio or video without unlinking: to do so, the user would do a rectangle selection around the audio parts (without going over the audio parts) and only the audio would be selected. He could then use the delete function to remove the audio of all those clips without affecting video - it should be possible for someone to select multiple sets of clips and use the unlink function
I guess mass unlink alone would be enough to do this now. If I can: 1) select a bunch of clips [OK] 2) click an unlink/ungroup button; their audio tracks get unlinked from the video tracks (if they were not already part of a greater group?) 3) I can select the audio parts and hit delete [OK?] ...then I'm alright.
This used to work with ungroup, but we all agreed that ungroup was confusing. I'm all for putting the functionality back but we need a better UI
