When changing the target branch, be careful to rebase the branch in your fork to match. See documentation.

This tools allows to change strip playback speed by manipulating
retiming handles. More handles can be added to single strip to create
variable playback speed.

This tool replaces Speed Factor property in time panel.

There is compilation warning which would need to be resolves. Don't think it work an extra iteraiton though.

@iss Is there a plan/design for the feature? I tried it and it works pretty well.
Some things I observed though:

  • It's not easy to reset a retimed segment of a strip back to 100% speed
  • The tool does not work for audio strips. These should ideally be synched with the retiming of movie strips
  • The general speed value overlay should stay visible, even when the tool isn't active.

Thanks for feedback! Some plans are outlined in #100337

Some things I observed though:

  • It's not easy to reset a retimed segment of a strip back to 100% speed

Presets for pre-defined speeds was discussed, So this should be implemented either via dropdown menu somehow. Currently these are only gizmos, and I am not sure whether calling menu is even possible at this point. Perhaps it would be possible to hack in this functionality via context menu and some sort of segment selection.

  • The tool does not work for audio strips. These should ideally be synched with the retiming of movie strips

Implemented in #105072, needs review still.

  • The general speed value overlay should stay visible, even when the tool isn't active.

What @fsiddi suggested is to have these overlays(gizmos) always visible. Personally I think that just labels visible would be quite noisy, but perhaps I could make 2 sets of gizmos, where elements would be visually "attenuated" and inactive. These elements do require strip to be active in order to work properly, since they don't change any data. They do only call operators.

Just showing the speed label would be enough, I think.
