snapping to unselecrted strips didnt work (I didnt notice find_neighboring_sequence needed them to be touching, added find_next_prev_sequence to get the next/prev seq)
added select linked (L and Ctrl+L)
added Ctrl +/- select more/less
Sequencer Feature, Split Image Sequence.
Splits a image sequence into strips. useful for importing frames for animatics.
Also added undo calls in a few places that did not have it.
Grab/Extend from frame - similar to a feature thats know as ripple editing in other applications. this is a fast way to add or remove frames
from
clips. to use.
Select all, drag the playbak head to the area you want to extend and press Ekey, the clips will be extended on the side the playhead that
the mouse is on.
Also did more cleanups to sequencer transform code.
changed teh way single images operate,
* they dont act like a sequence of 1 image - so you can drag and resize without the trouble of having teh center image.
* they draw without the single frame in them. and no 'gutter?' strip drawing.
* the start frame is always set to be where the handles start.
This is done in the transform and draw areas of the sequencer. added 2 functions,
fix_single_image_seq - moves the seq start without any visible change - so it will load in older blend's
check_single_image_seq - quick way to check for single image.
rewrote the part that deals with moving the strips on the X axis - only user visible functionality is that you can move the seq bounds in one step now.
internally added macro's to make dealing with sequence's less touble.
Ctrl-RMB and Alt-RMB now call for different selection methods that are helpful when working within a single channel that holds several strips. The Ctrl modifier signals "Right" and the Alt modifier signals "Left".
Ctrl-RMB clicking a strip will select that strips left handle and the adjacent handle of any strip that abuts it on the left, allowing you to move the boundary between the strips without changing their outer endpoints. Ctrl-RMB clicking again on that strip will add to the selection all strips to the left of it, allowing you to slide the entire set of strips out of the way for a new one.
Alt-RMB works the same, but to the right.
Ctrl-Alt-RMB on a strip selects the surrounding handles only, allowing you to move the targeted strip and have the surrounding two strips adjust to follow.
Sequence Editor: SHIFT+R, Remap Paths (also in pull down menu)
This allows to remap the root of a path to another directory.
Works on all selected Image strips. That way you can make absolute
paths relative, for example.
Example:
original path: /mnt/orange/finals/06_which_way/06_03b/
to be remapped: /mnt/orange/finals/
remap to: //
new path: //06_which_way/06_03b/
Bugfixes:
* The speed controller changes now dynamically the IPO-curve range to
it's needs. (Frame matching and negative velocities didn't work...
Obviously nobody tried ;-)
* Fixed some redraw bugs. The IPO window is correctly updated if one pushes
the IPO Frame locking button.
Added enhancements by blendix (Patch #4919: Insert sequence effect between)
It adds the following things:
- You can add a sequence strip afterwards in the middle of an effect chain
(you have to move strips around before, so that there is "room" for it.
Blender will ask you then, if you want to add in between or after the
selected strips)
- In the case you messed it up and want your effect strips to be reassigned in
a different way, there is the new "R"-key. Just select three arbitrary
strips and press "R". If you don't create a cycle, those will be connected
to a new effect chain.
- Fixed freeing of imbufs on changes to properly take into account dependencies. An example of a simple case that went wrong is one image strip with two
glow effects, changing the parameters of the first glow strip will not
result in any updates. Basically only direct dependencies were taken into
account, which resulted in the image preview not being updated in some cases.
- Let the sequencer detect an active sequence strip if none is defined, to
get rid of annoying error messages when trying to add an effect to a
selected sequence strip right after loading a file.
- Delete is less destructive. If you delete somewhere between other strips,
Blender now tries to relink in a reasonable way.
- The active sequence strip is now displayed with a light instead of a dark
outline, which makes it easier to spot, and is especially useful for the
tools using the active sequence strip.
- Ability to view the final result when editing inside meta strip.
The channel button was modified to also allow negative numbers,
where -n is n levels up the meta stack. There is probably a nicer way to
specify this, instead of (ab)using the channel button, but this seems to
work quite efficient.
- Also a small bugfix: don't crash on loading files from newer versions with
an unknown effect strip.
Bugfix: If you use the IPO-pinning feature and edited an IPO that wasn't
highlighted as the current Sequence (current Sequence being a Metastrip),
you'll get obscure crashes, since the code
a) was mistakenly using last_seq
b) didn't test for se->ok != 2, thereby doing double frees on imbufs
Am I the only one, who wants to remove the last_seq global completely... ?
This patch is mostly a usability patch for the sequencer, mainly written by
Anders Gudmundson and twisted a little bit by me.
- Lock Time to other windows
- Possibility to switch the X-Axis between frames and seconds-display
- IPO-Frame Locking for plugins (T-Key)
- Additional Popup to add HD-Sound and Movie at once
- In Timeline-Window: Sequencer windows only playback
- Make the IPOs a little bit IPO-Frame-Lock friendlier (doesn't jump;
the frame that is drawn has the right dimension)
- Wheel-Mouse buttons make the sequencer window zoom again.
- The "This is not a sound/movie-file message" now reads "... or
FFMPEG-support not compiled in!" since I learned some prominent
people who complained, that hdaudio does not work for them ;-)
- Make SPACEKEY open up the "Add Strip"-Popup on the timeline and start
playback in the preview window.
There were a couple of issues with the implementation:
- there was no proper test if selected strips would be cut or not
- cutting meta strips could go very wrong... for example when the cut
of meta was in an internal gap. With meta's being recursive, and too
complex, I've disabled Meta-cutting
- added an OK menu for hotkey K
- added warnings when no cut was done
This is the first time in 6 years I do work in sequencer... man, this has
grown into a messy bizz! Like sequence variables... using names like:
start, startdisp, startstill, startoffs... totally confusing here. Could
use giant cleanup! Implementation was weak from scratch though, Mea Culpa!
- added in new transform the (not so useful but yah) old feature that
does scrollwheel zoom during transform
- had to change transform call arguments for uv-window/sequence/oops to
match new transform for mouse callback
TODO (for martin?)
- pulldown menu support to call with local axes compliant as for pressing
it with hotkey
- mirrormenu() still uses old transform stuff...
(adding)
#ifdef HAVE_CONFIG_H
#include <config.h>
#endif
also the Makefile.in's were from previous patch adding
the system depend stuff to configure.ac
