Design / UX comments on OV/VF settings

Hi all,

I have long disliked the "Use this DCP's video as OV and make VF" checkboxes at the top of the video, audio and text tabs in DCP-o-matic. It's a fairly niche feature, which only applies to DCP content, and is presented right at the top of the tabs as if it's really important (sometimes with some message about how we "cannot" do something...)

I'm experimenting with a separate dialogue box to handle these options, like you can see in the attachments.

Does anybody have any suggestions / comments about this new way to handle OV/VF?

Hi Carl!
You mean this new way is the right-clicking on DCP in the content tab? I like it!

Interesting idea - I had it in a "Tools" menu, and it would show all the DCPs in the project, but I think a right-click menu option makes more sense, thanks!
