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.
