So I'm working on adding these features to OpenShot and need a bit of feedback.

Regarding adding new clips to the timeline and auto shifting any subsequent clips, I can think of a couple of ways to do this:

1. Have an 'Insert Clips' item on the clip context menu - this will open the existing 'Add To Timeline' window. Either you have to preselect in the project files tree the clips you want to insert, or it would populate with every clip in the project (you would then have to manage which one(s) you want added).

2. Just use the existing Add To Timeline functionality, but adjust so existing clips after the playhead position are moved. The problem with this option is there is not so much control over which track to add the clips to.

Any feedback or other ideas on how to do it?
