So, I have a clip selected in my timeline, highlighted with white border. I add an edit and the part of the clip to the left of the edit stays selected. Let me explain the reasons this is not intuative.
First, it's selecting a clip earlier in time. Usual workflow in a timeline is beginning to end, so, in order to make progress, I have to re-select.
Next, it's selecting a clip you are no longer sitting on. So, let's say I add an edit, and want to change any parameter in the effects controls. I can't see what I'm changing until I either move in the timeline to the selected clip, or re-select the clip I am sitting on.
There are times when I add an edit and want to work with the selected cip to the left of the edit. But 9 times out of 10 or more, I want to manipulate the clip to the right of the edit point.
Please add a setting to allow selection of the right hand of the selected clip in timeline setting. A huge proportion of my job as an editor is selecting clips. Please don't make me select them twice!
