RE: comments from #7 to #10
=========================

I understand that it is more intuitive and agreeable to work by moving
"by hand" (click&hold-slide-drop) the videos and audios on the time-
line. HOWEVER, you are then limited by the pixel-to-time-frame
relationship. Even if this bug were fixed, there would still be some
lack of precision, unless an gigantic magnifying glass were put into
place (that is, zooming-in far beyond/below the current 1s limit).

I suggest that, once you have put your clips (video, audio, etc.) and
transitions on the time-line ROUGHLY were you want them to be, you use
the tools provided by the "properties" menus, as follows. When you
right-click on a clip or a transition and select "properties", you have
access to its position on the time-line with a 1/100s precision. This
position is modifiable, which allows you to fine-tune where you want
each of your objects (videos, audios, transitions) to be placed on the
time-line (and many more fine-tuning possibilities).

Please tell me if this helps.

Title:
  timeline only shows 320 times the zoom slider setting

Status in libcairo  -  cairo vector graphics library:
  Confirmed
Status in OpenShot Video Editor:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  The timeline only shows the first (320*zoom seeting) seconds of a project.
  So if the zoom slider setting is set to 1 s, the timeline stops at 5'20'' (=320'')
  if it set to 2 s, it stops at 10'40'' (=640''), 4 s it stops at 21'20'' (=1280''), etc.

  How to reproduce:
  -launch OpenShot and create a new project of 60 min
  -with the default 8 s zoom setting you can only move the timeline up to 42'40'' (=2560 = 320*8)
  -try zooming in and see the timeline shorten as you zoom more

  1. Ubuntu 10.10 x64
  2. PPA installation
  3. OpenShot 1.3.0
