    When creating a clip on a track, in the Timeline Window, the default duration of the clip is 5s.

    Proposed solution : a proper API to set the default duration of a clip.
    I found this trick, but highlighted clips are now marked as "HOLD" in the Timeline Window.

    If we want to create a clip in a gap where the 5 seconds cannot be contained, the clip is created at the very end of the track.

    Proposed solution : position the clip in the gap, make the clip end at the beginning of the next one.



    I'm getting accustomed to this kind of sorcery, but the designers of my team are going to kill myself if I tell them "that's how it is" :D
