Re: Help-Manual Feedback

 

Hi Guys,

Great work! That's very impressive and I'm sure will be well received by
users. I'm not the best proof-reader in the world, but I didn't notice any
typos. I have a couple of small suggestions or omissions to point out:

*Regarding the key mappings, the following are missing:*

Ctrl + Home - goto the beginning of timeline
Ctrl + End - goto the end of the timeline
F1 - show help (once it is installed).

*The Effects list*:

Missing Audio effects (Echo, Phaser, Pitch).

*About Openshot*

Maybe we should mention for further help - use the forum.

*General*

Maybe mention somewhere how the layering of the tracks on top of one another
(section 4.8?) can affect other tracks, i.e. a title or transparency image
should be on a higher track to the background.* *(hopefully explain it
better than I've just tried!)*.

*Cheers,
Andy.
