I’ve seen others mention this workflow section, but I think we need this topic in Ideas and request, I know we’re not alone! honestly, it’s all about personal preference. Before version 2.7, filmmaking was a breeze for me—I’d set up my scenes and move on. Since then, I’ve had to manually switch every auto-smooth transition to linear, one by one. Not once have I found auto-smooth useful for my work, and I thought I could keep going like this—but after a year, I feel the need for change.
And yes, I know we can set all shots to linear in the clip settings, but here’s the thing—every time we add a new shot, we have to change it again. It’s not like we create all our shots first and then review them in one go. Many of us carefully craft each shot as we go, meaning we still have to adjust them one by one, regardless.
I respect those who use auto-smooth—kudos to you guys! But please, let us choose Linear as the default too, so we don’t have to fix it for every clip. Thank you!
