I’m trying to think of good use-cases that a phtoographer normally would have for approaching video editing. Besides the usual type of work (BTS filming, tutorials, etc), I can think of a couple. (Keep in mind that I don’t currently use kdenlive personally.)
-
Time-lapse videos. It might be neat to accommodate in some way the creation of a video using multiple images. There have been a couple of examples lately of course, but perhaps some sort of deeper integration or snatching some code for deflickering, etc…?

One that I think would be nice is possibly supporting the creation of slideshows automatically? Not just autoscaling image sequences with timings and the usual fade options, but including pan+zoom across an image at 1:1 scale or so? Our images are usually much, much larger than a video canvas frame. I can see a use-case for creating a video slideshow of images that was more than just a rotating series of images + wipes. Rather, allowing control of the virtual ‘canvas’ across an image + zoom.
This is something I do now with Blender without too much trouble, but I imagine it would be quite interesting for others to have this (assuming it doesn’t already exist). I’d be happy to elaborate more if I’m not making any sense…
