Select multiple clips
It should be possible to select multiple clips and then move or delete them in one go. Say you have edited some clips and you want to insert extra material at the start. As far as I can see this is not possible at the moment. Therefore OpenShot is not completely non-linear, since you have to do everything in a linear way.

Transitions would have to move with the clips of course.
I agree 100%. If you need to add a scene at the beginning of a movie, you need to drag every single clip and transition the same amount of distance to the right. Except for trivial projects, this means that it is basically impossible to insert or delete scenes at the beginning of a movie (right?)
UPDATE: We have the ability to "Shift" clips (and transitions), which is an easy way to slide an entire set of clips and create gaps without have to move each item. However, I agree we need easier ways to select and move multiple clips. =)
QUESTION: Maybe it would be possible to add the ability to insert and delete time at an exact point in the movie? I could right-click the timeline and choose "Add Time...", type "5s", and 5 seconds will be inserted right where I clicked. All clips to the right will be shifted upward, all clips to the left are untouched, and any clips or transitions that straddle the insert point would be stretched. That would address my needs and sounds quite a bit easier to code than multiple selections and dragging. Just an idea.
After selecting multiple clips the possibility to EDIT PROPERTYS of multiple Clips. If you want to fade in/out in 0.5 sec and audio 15% AND ... at every clip, it can be anoying...
