I agree with every thing above ; it would be great to have the ability to :
- insert clips (cf Romano)
- select multiple clips and transitions on the timeline using shift or ctrl or a box
- using the last feature, replace the duplicate tool with a cut/copy/paste tool (copy the selected clips to the cursor. Currently when you duplicate a clip it appears just next to the old one, possibly under another one).

Another good thing would be an option to write text on the screen, with
basic settings (font, size, align, maybe color), because the current
tool isn't very practical for subtitles or such things, you have to use
inkscape or gimp to make them properly. I think this has already been
requested.

Also when you press c to cut it cuts all tracks, there should be a way
to lock some of them, I don't make it a feature request because maybe
there's one and I missed it^^.

Finally when you import a sequence, instead of choosing how many frames
per image it would be nice to set the framerate (I'm asking that because
I make lego-animated movies)

I can't think of anything else. Openshot is great software, definitely
THE video editor for Gnome (when you try apt-get install kdenlive you
get 200MB of dependencies ^^). So, thanks for developing, now we have a
video editor, all what we need is a few games and there won't be anyone
left on windows (or will there ?).

Title:
  Select and move multiple clips and transitions

Status in OpenShot Video Editor:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  An item that would be very useful when creating a movie is to be able
  to select multiple clips and transitions in order to move them on the
  timeline.

  For example, if I want to insert or trim a clip at the begining of my
  movie, I have to move each following clip and transition one by one.
  With the possibility to select all following clips and transitions, it
  could be done easily with one mouse drag.

  (I currently use version 0.9.22)
