I'm wondering why so this forum is sooo quiet.


I have Sony dvd 405 and I'm starting to edit some movies.
I've been evaluating 3 software: Wombel , Ulead and Premiere Elements for a while using the trial versions.
I might enad up buying 2 and I think Womble will be one of it.
Despite it's very awkard user interface it has some advantages.
Trere are several things that would be simple to implement and make my life impossible. Here they are in.
1) Why not have a sceneline the same like everybody else. I like to cut first and re-arange after. Aranging in timeline is like sorting poker cards that face the table. A sceneline will make that task a breeze.
2) Why can not add a transition to all clips? That seemed to have een in previous versions. Normally I like to cut my mvies and then apply transitions with one transition in 95%of cases. Doing that manually for 200 clips in the movie is a real waste of time.
3) why adding a trimmed clip to timeline (using G) have to always go to the end? Why not going to the cursor position like when I docut and paste. That is bad especially when I pick a clip from the timeline and I want to recut it and put it in the same position. Now I do a G, I click on the timeline, I do an End, I select the clip and Ctrl-cut, I do a time consuming scroll back in the timeline where the original clip came from, I do a Ctrl-past to get it where it belongs, I delete the original clip from timeline.
4) why not having a short-cut for applying video-effects. Like either clicking on the funnel icon or someting like V or E for effects. A shortcut for deleting the effect would be good too.
5) why beeing able to batch export the trimms as Vob and not as mpeg2. They will do better archived for furthed projects as mpegs .
6) why can I not see the length or the trimmed portion in the Input vindow? I like keeping my cuts to an average of 3 seconds so now I do the cut, insert in timeline, right-click on the clip and read the duration?



Everything I mentioned before is the low hanging fruit but would help a lot in productivity.



I would also have a big problem with image quality.


It seems it does not matter what I do when I have horizontal fine lines in a clip the shiver like a hula dancer stranded on an iceberg. Is there anything one can do beside remove the clip?

your comments show you are very experienced.

Since these are all product related I would suggest, if you haven't done so already, to post your enhancement suggestion directly to Womble.

They set up this way to get comments like yours. Hopefully enough people will agree and they can make the needed changes to make this good product even better.
