With the introduction of 2024, some of the changes to the UI and the look and feel of PD 2024 make sense, but in many cases they considerably slow down the speed of editing. It shows that CL gives priority to the occasional user and tends to forget the more experienced editors. I would recon that with some changes, PD can serve both type of users. To give one example (more can follow).
Its appears that we have to do without the opacity line in the video in the timeline, which enabled a fast and very precise way of setting the opacity of do a fading. We now have to go to the edit menu a select an entry from the list. I think for the next update of 2024 we would like to have the opacity line back in the timeline, please.
Furthermore when selecting more clips in the timeline, a number of editing options disappears from the edit menu, including the opacity. The only way the apply e.g. the same opacity to a selection of clips is via the copy and paste keyframe attributes.
It would be good to have at least a number of the edit options back (position, opacity, border, crop to mention a few) when selecting multiple clips in the next update please.

So, it is really true that the opacity editing has been removed from the timeline? That does not make sense to me at all. The opacity for video is like the volume for audio. Imagine an audio mixer with volume controls hidden deep down in a menu. That is simply unthinkable.

For me personally, I create music video clips and precise and easy opacity control on multiple tracks from the timeline is absolutely essential. I'm stuck now with projects I'm currently working on. I tried editing with the keyframe editor but it is almost impossible to get it right.

So, I totally agree: please have the opacity line back as soon as possible.

Yes, I have reached out about the opacity adjustment being on the video clip on the timeline as well. This is not good. I used it all the time for fast edting, they need to bring it back or they are goign to lose customers! Has anyone heard from them about this feature coming back??
