It takes a long time to INSERT FRAMES or DELETE FRAMES from the project on the timeline.

Even on a modest project, with my respectable computer, it takes MINUTES to insert a few seconds worth of empty frames into the project.

I usually take care to not split any audio or video assets.  I just insert frames between actions so I can add something else into the middle of my scene.

I could almost do it faster by hand sometimes.

I am sure if someone takes the time to look into the algorithm used to do this, they'll have a "face palm" moment where they find a loop was nested very inefficiently or something like that.

The only good thing is it has worked reliably.  But after 5 minutes you start to wonder.

I have to agree. It seems quite strange that it takes so long just to insert empty frames into a project. In comparison, to insert several seconds of silence into a music or sound project via a sound editor like Audacity is nearly instantaneous.

Surely, there must be some way to optimize the code a bit?

Thanks for the feedback. I have passed this to the iClone team to review.
