I've discovered a bit of a work-around that can be used to essentially accomplish this. By shortening a clip, notes are basically muted. It's a bit of a hack IMHO given the fact you have to ensure your clip is scoped (sized) to the exact area of interest. There's also the aspect of having to remember that the clip actually holds more data than it visually represents post resize (there's no visual indication of this). I'm also not sure what would be exported since I haven't gotten around to testing it yet. Assuming this is the closest thing to a real solution, perhaps I could suggest that a "shortened" clip either:
1) Doesn't actually get shortened at all and instead is just greyed out using slashes or lots of dots since we shouldn't actually rely on color. For
example, if I reduced a clip from the left side, the end result might look something like /////////////////_____________|. The "/"s make it clear there is data in that location.
2) The side of the clip that can be extended to show more data could use a different border? Realizing all clips are eligible to be expanded from either side makes it seem like option #1 is a better solution though.
