OpenShot Video Editor

Show more info with the settings of the effects

Asked by Jef Damen

Sometimes I have some problems to understand the settings of some effects.
Maybe it´s a good idea to put some more info near the settings of all the effects like: %, pixels, mm, sec, .....
And also the maximum and minimum value that can be used should be greatfull.
Now I always have to figure out what the maximum possible value is by filling in a big number and after entering this value it changes to the realy maximum value.
Itś just an idea that came up in my mind :-)

Thanks for the suggestion. We will certainly improve these things soon. I
have noticed the same things. I just need to figure out where in the UI I
can show the extra information. If you are handy with Gimp, maybe you could
try and mockup where you would expect extra information to show up. Thanks!

Hi Jonathan
I made 2 suggestions with Kolourpaint:

I prefer the last one, its with sliders and perhaps easier to change.
Don´t look at the 2 cursors :-)
Bye
