What if you notice that each file uses different fonts for titles, or each<br>
video is colour-corrected differently, or uses a different lens, or has a<br>
different aspect ratio, or four are filmed during the day and one during<br>
the night and the latter one really stands out in a bad way? I don't think<br>
we should assume that just because we can do post-processing in the<br>
client, it's the right thing to do. :-)<br></blockquote><div><br><br>I really wouldn't classify volume change as part of "video editing". My TV remote has a volume up and down button that allows me to increase the volume beyond what the video was originally encoded in. Do we really want to refuse such a simple functionality to both users and web developers?<br>
