I was looking back at some of my very early posts and came across this comment I'd made based on another editing suite I used at a friend's (cannot now remember what it was):
Another addition I'd like to see would be the ability to choose any frame from a captured clip to use as a display in the media pool rather than just the first frame. This way you can select a frame that is more likely to convey the true contents of each clip.
At the time a lot of clips captured from analogue source seemed to start with a black frame or other rubbish. But, even these days, I find the first frame doesn't always depict what the clip is really about.
Would anyone else find the above useful? Is it worth adding to a wish list?
