Brought back old tools "Remove Gap(s)" and "Insert Gap".
It's actually one of the first tools I ever coded for it in 90ies, so useful!
* Remove Gap(s)
This checks if there's no strip at a given position, and slides all strips
together to the left, until the gap is closed.
- BackSpace key, remove gap at current frame (or first gap at right of frame)
- SHIFT+BackSpace, remove all gaps at or to right of current frame.
* Insert Gap
Shifts all strips to right of current frame with 10 frames. (Amount can be
set in Toolbar redo panel).
Main problem was in py UI code (has to set the context to INVOKE_REGION_PREVIEW for the shortcut lookup to succeed).
Also moved the N properties item into SequencerCommon keymap, and removed the View Selected menu entry from preview-only mode View menu (thx to Ejner Fergo for pointing this out).
This implements basic color grading modifiers in sequencer, supporting
color balance, RGB curves and HUE corrections.
Implementation is close to object modifiers, some details are there:
http://wiki.blender.org/index.php/User:Nazg-gul/SequencerModifiers
Modifiers supports multi-threaded calculation, masks and instant
parameter changes.
Also added cache for pre-processed image buffers for current frame,
so changing sequence properties does not require rendering of original
sequence (like rendering scene, loading file from disk and so)
Issue was caused by some stuff happenign in wm_operator_finish() which uses
to somehow restore changes made by transformation invoke function.
Solved by not calling translation operator directly from duplication operator
(which is in fact really tricky) and use macros instead. This macros calls
duplication operator which simply duplicates strip, and then calls translation
operator.
After discussion with Campbell we found much nicer solution which
keeps operation with data much more clear:
- Refresh Sequencer is totally harmless, do not touch actual data
and just removes everything from cache
- Reload Strip will reload data and adjust it's length for all
selected strips without affecting on length of strip itself
- Reload Strip and Adjust length will do the same but will also
adjust length of strip itself.
(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.
from Bastien Montagne (mont29)
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.
