Changing speed should change the length of the clip

[markba]

When changing the speedof a clip, say decreasing to 1/5. the length of the clip stays the same. In most cases, it would be preferable to increase the size of the clip (in this example: times 5).

Originally, this is exactly how it worked. But after a few
suggestions, we modified it to not change the length of the clip.
Maybe we should open this back up for discussion? Or provide a
setting for that behavior. Thanks!

Yes, it would be nice if this can be controlled by the user, in stead of hardcoded.

A checkbox (default: on, my personal preference) on the tabpage or an extra dialog ("The speed has been changed, should the length of the clip be adapted?") would be fine.

[Vanessa Lee (vanessax)]

Possibly ask the user a question to change the length of the clip when changing the speed?

Since speed does not work with MLT yet... ummm? ahem... :)

I also wish to have it back.

Has this been addressed yet. Of course the clip length must change. If it doesn't change then you wont have the full clip in slow motion.
