Notes on Clip in Timeline

Short version:

Let me add notes to my clips on the timeline. 
 

Long version: 

There should be a new mode for the timeline view: 

  • Miniature for video start + Notes 
  • Miniature for video start and end
  • Miniature for video start
  • Continous Video Miniature

In this new mode, make it so that I can double-click the free space of a clip to add notes, like so: 
 


Benefits

  • You can scan your timeline for information and clips without playback.
  • Would be much faster than adding markers with text
  • Info at your fingertips (vs. text-based editing via the Text-Panel)
  • Freedom to include information other than transcription of the spoken text
  • Optional AI-mode to write descriptive keywords down for you
  • Real-espace in the timeline used well
  • Other workflows and modes stay as they were
     

Thanks for considering.

    I totally vote for it! A great idea! I once had something similar in my head but could not form the idea correctly. 

    Stop trying to edit and EDIT!

    I have a project at hand, where I splice together a ton of small clips, and I need to reorder and rearrange all the time for the perfect flow. It kind-of-works with the marker-workaround, but that was a ton of work to setup, that method needs a ton of tedious clicks and mousework. 

    The idea for this new feature is born from that pain 😅

    Very spiffy idea ... wow, never thought of it, but I’d sure use it!

    Everyone's mileage always varies ...
