At the moment I'm trying to use Virb Edit on a 15.6" laptop screen. There are 3 panels vertically; one with video and a map, another showing the timeline, and the bottom one that shows the tools and options. The one at the bottom is way too big. There is no need for it to be that size resulting in a tiny piece of video in the top panel that, when you're trying to insert and adjust overlays, is pretty much impossible to see what you're doing. You should make the top panel size configurable. One way to improve things would be to let the video expand on one side of the screen and have the tools to the side instead of underneath. Look at, e.g. Magix Movie Edit Pro for guidance!
Thanks for your response. The video size is a definite improvement in 2.8.0 so thanks for that. I've had a go at adjusting gauges in the "Play full video" mode then pressed "Esc" to go back to the editor (I couldn't see any other way to do that and, given that's quite a common method for those popup things, seemed reasonable) but, at that point, all the gauges disappeared completely!
Hitting Esc should work. Or hitting the X on the top right of the playback pop-up.
I'm am having trouble reproducing the behavior you describe. Did you get the gauges back when you started playback again?
I had the same problem - all my gauges disappeared when adjusting in full screen / large screen playback. Can't remember if it was full screen or large screen exactly.
TITLE BUG: When adding a title, after the specified duration the text disappears as it should. But the surrounding box remains the same.
However, the rest of the software is stable. Thank you for this version!
