Suggested Layout change

[pietrop]

Just a suggestion on layout change to maximise space of text. Pending discussion. And low priority.

Current layout as of PR #46

The thinking here is that there is a fair bit of space between the player controls and the transcript title, that is essentially due to the height of the video preview element. And it's taking up space that could be used to increase the height of the TimedTextEditor.

So the suggestion to be discussed, would be to move the video player next to the TimedTexEditor, and below the player controls. As well as the progress bar over the player controls. - see balsamiq sketch below.

On a 15 inch Mac this might not make much of a difference, but on smaller size laptops or tablets(?) this change could be a bit more significant.

Just to add to the mix of consideration, the current audio only combination looks a bit off

[ranaharoni]

I think the current layout is great and all we have to do in order to (sort of) satisfy the second proposal is collapsing the controls on the top when "picture-in-picture" is active.

[pietrop]

How would you collapse the controls when picture in picture is active?

You mean reduce in size or hide?

[ranaharoni]

Reduce in size as pictured in this suggestion

[pietrop]

ah, I see what you mean now.
