2 - Basic Editing

Transitions Work fine on single clips. (*)

Transition from clip to clip Must be made across two Video Tracks (As in Cinema Bande A & B)

Issue: Playback is not able to show you cuts well - fixed in v. 1.4

Issue: No Timeline multi-clip select and move

Issue: No Short cut for Shifting Clip on Timeline

Issue: Snapping not working

Issue: Separating Sound from Image Workaround solution: Extract Empty Audio and Video outside Open Shot, Import them separately, then sync! Suggested Timeline Setting: Track 1: Click on the Sound Logo on the Left to mute Track 2: Click on the Eye Logo on the Left to blind Track 3: Click on the Eye Logo on the Left to blind

Main Issues with workaround: a) Audio not working on Preview b)Another Video Track Must be added for Transitions.

This way we have one Video Track and Two Audio tracks.

The audio is not played in preview if the audio in the first track is muted
