A huge effort multiplier is Grading groups. Get these right and you can save hours on even a short.
So. They should be easier and the UI should give you better information about what group a clip is in.
Currently, you have to click on a group to see the link icon, But you still don't know what group its in. That's three levels deep in a hierarchical menu.
I want to look at the clips and immediately know how things are grouped, what hasn't been grouped, etc.
Finding a clip stuck in the wrong group is unreasonably burdensome for no good reason.
Telling me what group a clip is in is a million times more useful than displaying the clips codec. Generally, its the same for almost all clips in a timeline, anyway. But the group is a critical piece of information.
AND
the node graph should default to either:
the last "type" of node
OR
Group Pre if in a group
counting the almost invisible dots every time to make sure I'm in the right node set is "fraught with peril" (how many times have you had to undo and reconstruct a node tree???)
I write computer interfaces for my day job, and I'd never have let this assault on productivity get through.
So, I'm a relative newbie, probably 8 shorts and a feature colored in Davinci ("Promises" on Amazon Prime and YouTube Red).
oh.. And my Mackie control surface works with Fairlight !!!!!
