Feature Request: Nested Layers

[tobias-r]

Hi, so, maybe I am wrong, but it is not possible to put one image overlay over the whole video (multiple clips)? Or one title? If it is, I simply couldn't find it. Would anyone know me how to? (I know I can add the same title layer to all clips, but with transitions, this is not working anymore, unless of course using "fade" or so).

Well, ideally it would be great to be able to nest layers:

clips [ layers [ type "sub-clips" [ ... ] ] ]

Just as an idea!

Thanks anyways for this cool tool.

This is also something I'd love to be able to do, have more than one level of depth to the hierarchy of clips and layers, so you could have sequences inside a single layer (essentially, a layer could have its own clips -- or subclips, as you say).

it's imho the most limiting missing feature. but imho it should not be "sub-clips", but there should be a "tracks" option. that would fit to the audioTracks feature and !! would be the same as video editors usually handle it.
like:

videoTracks: [
    [
       { type: "image-overlay", path: "./emoji.png" },
    ],
    [
      { duration: 3,, layers: [ { type: "image", path: "./some-image.jpg"} ] },
      { duration: 3, layers: [{ type: "image", path: "./other-iamge.jpg"}] },
    ]
  ]
