(also fixes special request from Ian for Mango)
Added operator to update actual content length of all selected strips.
Can be useful for scenes and movies as well after doing making changes to
scene/movie.
Can be improved further to deal better with cases when strip has got effect
and it's get reshuffled because of overlapping after changing it's length.
This adds movieclip input support to the sequencer, thereby making
undistorted and stabilized footage available without a seperate render step.
Also: removes some old cruft code from the sequencer:
* new_tstripdata wasn't used anymore
* StripElems were allocated for SCENE strips on full length, wasting memory
Added a comment, that hopefully makes things a little bit clearer:
StripElems are *only* usefull for MOVIE + IMAGE strips for all other strip
types one can set this pointer to NULL. (If that should cause otherwise
problems, then the code that doesn't check for NULL is to blame!)
Applied the keymaps hack which is used for other animation editors to allow
markers to be added and renamed anywhere from within the sequencer strips
region, instead of just when the cursor is over the scrollbar.
Other operations where the hotkeys conflict though (delete, move) can still be
done only from the scrollbar, or better still, from the Timeline.

Only applied Sequencer Select Grouped functionality - similar to the one in object mode, select strips based on type, time, data etc.
This patch adds:
* support for proxy building again (missing feature from Blender 2.49)
additionally to the way, Blender 2.49 worked, you can select several
strips at once and make Blender build proxies in the background (using
the job system)
Also a new thing: movie proxies are now build into AVI files, and
the proxy system is moved into ImBuf-library, so that other parts
of blender can also benefit from it.
* Timecode support: to fix seeking issues with files, that have
a) varying frame rates
b) very large GOP lengths
c) are broken inbetween
d) use different time code tracks
the proxy builder can now also build timecode indices, which are
used (optionally) for seeking.
For the first time, it is possible, to do frame exact seeking on
all file types.
* Support for different video-streams in one video file (can be
selected in sequencer, other parts of blender can also use it,
but UI has to be added accordingly)
* IMPORTANT: this patch *requires* ffmpeg 0.7 or newer, since
older versions don't support the pkt_pts field, that is essential
for building timecode indices.
Windows and Mac libs are already updated, Linux-users have to build
their own ffmpeg verions until distros keep up.
- add change data operator to strip panel next to image file properties since editing every image manually isnt really usable.
- added new sequencer operator "Clear Offsets" (Alt+O), useful to reset the start/end frames around the strip data.
The sequencer made it's own copy of the Markers keymap, which was
inconsistent with the rest of Blender, making things confusing to use.
I've removed these duplicate keymap entries, and also changed the
conflicting hotkeys for Metastrips.
Metastrips now use the same hotkeys that their NLA cousins use:
Shift-G to add, Alt-G to remove; These were chosen since in user-
terms, metastrips are more like "strip groups"
* No way currently to know the order of effect inputs, so I added a swap operator for the inputs.
* Also added the effect inputs to the strip property panel (weren't even in rna before). These are not yet editable, but can be very helpful in determining what the inputs are if the strip is too short to see the name in the timeline.
Playback Jog Keys:
ALT+LEFTARROW: play backward (hit again for double speed)
ALT+RIGHTARROW: play fordward (hit again for double speed)
ALT+DOWNARROW: start/stop animation
- Okey sets the border in the display.
- Okey resets the frame offset in the sequencer timeline.
- ghost icon in the header can enable/disable.
- frame offset can be relative or absolute (lock icon)
Not very happy that this commit adds a call to BKE_animsys_evaluate_animdata(scene, ...) in do_build_seq_array_recursively()
without this the offset frames dont have fcurves applied.
Though we will need something like this for prefetch frames to work too.
Only source/blender/editors/ dir, should not give errors on different platforms
Only removing: UI_*.h, ED_*.h, WM_*.h, DNA_*.h, IMB_*.h, RNA_*.h, PIL_*.h
- multiple pastes after copying
- clear the sound handle when copying (was crashing)
- allow seq freeing without a scene (assumes seq strip isnt active and sound handle isnt set)
- free clipboard sequences on exit
- paste sequence strips using the relative playhead location from when they were copied.
TODO
- check scene pointers on paste
- detect overlaps after paste
Separated preview drawing into own ARegion, this should make using View2D possible
The Sequencer now has three view types: Sequencer, Preview and split Sequencer/Preview.
Changing the preview can be done either by the combobox in the header or toggling through those types with CTRL+TAB.
Notes:
* Icon for split Sequencer/Preview view missing still.
* Naming items in the comboboxes can be improved (just Preview instead of Image Preview?)
Next steps:
* bringing back View2D handling (zoom/pan) for image preview
* experimenting with splitting the Preview ARegion for In/Out editing
* Snapping strips now works with the hotkey Shift-S as in the rest of Blender
* Preview Range works in Sequencer now (the operators for setting, clearing, and also drawing)
* Related to the Preview Range for Sequencer, toggling the time-display mode also works
* Preview Range Set operator now works again, after the modal keymaps change for borderselect broke it. Also sends correct notifiers now after bein called.
* Convert all code to use new functions.
* Branch maintainers may want to skip this commit, and run this
conversion script instead, if they use a lot of math functions
in new code:
http://www.pasteall.org/9052/python
* new operator: set rendersize (SEQUENCE_OT_rendersize) sets the render output size in the current scene to the size of the active sequence strip
* works for movies and images right now
* TODO: currently only works if image or movie strip has been loaded (as in showing the preview for example) - reason is that otherwise the size is not initialized in the strip
Swap active sequence with the sequence on the right (CTRL+R) or left (CTRL+L).
was small Durian wish.
Note: in find_next_prev removed the code to find selected only if sel was != 0
I believe it should be possible to pass -1 in the case I want to find the next strip
regardless of selection state.
Changes how selecting linked left/right work since this conflicts. rather then Ctrl for left and Alt for right, Just use Alt and select the side based on the handle selected.
Keymaps are now saveable and configurable from the user preferences, note
that editing one item in a keymap means the whole keymap is now defined by
the user and will not be updated by Blender, an option for syncing might be
added later. The outliner interface is still there, but I will probably
remove it.
There's actually 3 levels now:
* Default builtin key configuration.
* Key configuration loaded from .py file, for configs like Blender 2.4x
or other 3D applications.
* Keymaps edited by the user and saved in .B.blend. These can be saved
to .py files as well to make creating distributable configurations
easier.
Also, user preferences sections were reorganized a bit, now there is:
Interface, Editing, Input, Files and System.
Implementation notes:
* wmKeyConfig was added which represents a key configuration containing
keymaps.
* wmKeymapItem was renamed to wmKeyMapItem for consistency with wmKeyMap.
* Modal maps are not wrapped yet.
* User preferences DNA file reading did not support newdataadr() yet,
added this now for reading keymaps.
* Key configuration related settings are now RNA wrapped.
* is_property_set and is_property_hidden python methods were added.
