This is an interesting idea - we're basically taking information about the video and storing it outside of the current project. I need to think about this some more, does the app store this information internally? Do we store a file alongside the video which contains information about it?

An existing tool that does something similar is Ableton Live (https://www.ableton.com). When you import a sample into Ableton, it'll create (I think) an .asd file which lives alongside the sample. This asd file contains stored information about the sample.

That said, I do get a bit annoyed about my system getting clogged up with asd files and I'm sure others feel the same way. Ideally it should be stored within the app itself.

@lars-vc - what's the workflow you're using that causes you to unload a video and load it again? Are you sharing one video between multiple projects?

I had a couple vods of games I was looking at an skimming through just look at certain points. After I finished the game I removed the vod and dragged in a new one.

Now if I assume correctly a project can be made so that notations and such (and the volume) are saved, maybe its an idea to just keep the last volume if it's a new project, but override it if it's an existing project that has the volume saved.

I just confirmed with someone else that the volume isn't always saving between sessions in the app (with the same clip, if you close and open it again) so there's definitely a bug related to the volume which I'll track in this ticket.

I haven't tested saving the project volume but it should preserve the volume, bookmarks, sync and everything else when you save a project. The volume may be misbehaving here as well as the auto save and project save use the same code.
