hello

i wish to ask you team developer and user experience:
first frame number is 1, it is right? if YEs then why timeline first frame number is 0..?

see my example:
actual kdenlive 0.9.10 and 15.12

I think the time line as it displays is correct. This time line is like a ruler. Rulers start at zero and the first millimeter on the ruler is between the 0 and 1 mark on the ruler.

The time line is a ruler in units of frames. The time line starts at zero. The first frame in the clip lies between the zero label and the frame 1 label.

If you put the cursor at the 1 frame mark and cut the clip you cut between the first and second frames.

Pretty sure this is the standard way to label video timelines.

In programming, often 0 is the first item and 1 is the second item.
Also 01s:000ms = 01s:01f is probably more confusing than 01s:000ms = 01s:00f
If you configure a Premiere Pro CC project to show video time code in frames, the first frame is 0 as well. It's the same in Final Cut Pro X, Lightworks (as far as I can tell) and Avid Media Composer.

For everybody's information: current versions still have a line "marker" but it also marks the area to the next frame, which I think is a bit helpful:

This comes to my mind: 12:00am = 00:00 xD
