This patch includes the work done in the terrible consequencer branch
that hasn't been merged to master minus a few controversial and WIP
stuff, like strip parenting, new sequence data structs and cuddly
widgets.
What is included:
* Strip extensions only when slipping. It can very easily be made an
option but with a few strips with overlapping durations it makes view
too crowded and difficult to make out.
* Threaded waveform loading + code that restores waveforms on undo (not
used though, since sound_load recreates everything. There's a patch for
review D876)
* Toggle to enable backdrop in the strip sequence editor
* Toggle to easily turn on/off waveform display
* Snapping during transform on sequence boundaries. Snapping to start or
end of selection depends on position of mouse when invoking the operator
* Snapping of timeline indicator in sequencer to strip boundaries. To
use just press and hold ctrl while dragging.

Make the UI API more consistent and reduce confusion with some naming.
mainly:
- API function calls
- enum values
some internal static functions have been left for now
Currently this gaussian blur implementation accumulates values in the
square kernel rather that doing X direction and then Y direction because
of the lack of using multiple-staged filters.
Once we can we'll implement a way to apply filter as multiple stages we
can optimize hell of a lot in here.
Another thing we can do is to use SSE2 instructions here.
- pass label strlen since in many cases its already known.
- use single linked list for cached text drawing.
- add BLI_link_utils.h for single linked list macros.
own tests give approx 22% overall speedup.
- deduplicate timecode_simple_string from image.c
- replace V2D_UNIT_SECONDSSEQ with V2D_UNIT_SECONDS
- avoid possible buffer overflow bugs (sprintf -> BLI_snprintf)
- remove option not to use timecode and split into 2 functions
Patch D227 by Andrew Buttery with own refactoring.
Made it so scopes image buffer is displayed without any additional scale
applied on them,
Further tweaks are possible here, but that i'd consider a TODO.
Summary:
Made objects update happening from multiple threads. It is a task-based
scheduling system which uses current dependency graph for spawning new
tasks. This means threading happens on object level, but the system is
flexible enough for higher granularity.
Technical details:
- Uses task scheduler which was recently committed to trunk
(that one which Brecht ported from Cycles).
- Added two utility functions to dependency graph:
* DAG_threaded_update_begin, which is called to initialize threaded
objects update. It will also schedule root DAG node to the queue,
hence starting evaluation process.
Initialization will calculate how much parents are to be evaluation
before current DAG node can be scheduled. This value is used by task
threads for faster detecting which nodes might be scheduled.
* DAG_threaded_update_handle_node_updated which is called from task
thread function when node was fully handled.
This function decreases num_pending_parents of node children and
schedules children with zero valency.
As it might have become clear, task thread receives DAG nodes and
decides which callback to call for it.
Currently only BKE_object_handle_update is called for object nodes.
In the future it'll call node->callback() from Ali's new DAG.
- This required adding some workarounds to the render pipeline.
Mainly to stop using get_object_dm() from modifiers' apply callback.
Such a call was only a workaround for dependency graph glitch when
rendering scene with, say, boolean modifiers before displaying
this scene.
Such change moves workaround from one place to another, so overall
hackentropy remains the same.
- Added paradigm of EvaluaitonContext. Currently it's more like just a
more reliable replacement for G.is_rendering which fails in some
circumstances.
Future idea of this context is to also store all the local data needed
for objects evaluation such as local time, Copy-on-Write data and so.
There're two types of EvaluationContext:
* Context used for viewport updated and owned by Main. In the future
this context might be easily moved to Window or Screen to allo
per-window/per-screen local time.
* Context used by render engines to evaluate objects for render purposes.
Render engine is an owner of this context.
This context is passed to all object update routines.

Summary:
Uses some magic pseudo-random which is actually a
texture coordinate hashing function.
TODOs:
- Dither noise is the same for all the frames.
- It's different from Floyd's dither we've been
using before.
- Currently CPU and GPU dithering used different
implementation. Ideally we need to use the same
dither in CPU.

- Show alpha channel of the mask
- Multiply footage by the mask, which will give
you final-looking combined image.

of the active object in the 3D view. This was due to sharing a global G.moving
flag to indicate that transform is active, now it's only set per transform data
type so different editors don't influence each other.
It's now default to 2D textures, and no AUTO mode at this
moment, since detecting which method is the best not so
simple.
Image drawing could manually be switched to GLSL for tests
and feedback, but for default GLSL is not so much great.
Reason of this is huge images, where operations like panning
becomes dead slow comparing GLSL vs. 2D texture.
Sequencer was always trying to do GLSL color space
conversion, not respecting user settings at all.
This failed a lot when RGB curves a used in color
management settings.
Now sequencer will fallback if GLSL can not be used
and will also respect user settings (however, draw
pixels are not supported, sequencer always uses 2D
textures).
- Sequencer preview was clamping float buffers
- ACES color space wasn't correct, was noticeable when
applying display processor from linear space to display.
- Extended sRGB LUT to sRGBf from nuke-default config.
Makes sequencer behave much better in sRGB space.
The Scopes and Histogram (Image editor, Sequencer) were not updating on
changes in color or display settings.
- Missing notifiers for refreshing
- Missing code to draw correct for managed byte buffers.
- Scopes in Sequencer were not drawing OK (drawing code assumed alpha)
- Histogram in Sequencer now uses same formula to quantify R G B as the
other histogram in Blender (per channel).
I seriously thought of dropping this, and add the same sidebar here as we
have for Image window. However, what stops me is that current code is
very optimized, and has OMP hints.
Will check instead on cleaner drawing here now.
Main purpose of this is to be more compatible with older
versions of blender (before alpha cleanup) where sequencer
used to display premultiplied image on an straight opengl
viewport.
Now sequencer preview would behave closer to image editor
However adding Alpha and R|G|B displays is not so simple
because sequencer is using 2D textures. Would be nice to
implement this options as well, but this is not so much
important IMO.
This hall fix
- #34453: VSE: Subtract function does not work properly
TODO: Make RGBA display default for our startup.blend
Issue was caused by a fix for rendered sequencer preview mode, which
will likely conflict with compositor job. Made it so compositor job
will be killed when sequencer uses rendered preview.
This is actually a bit arbitrary decision and mainly it preserves
compatibility with how images were displaying in previous releases.
In fact, we actually would need to think about configurable backdrop
color and blending mode to be used for display in RGB mode.
Issue was caused by preview job starting just moment before
sequencer starts rendering. This lead to threading conflicts
since renderer itself is not thread-safe.
Now all preview jobs would be killed before sequencer starts
rendering stack when final render for preview is enabled.
