WIP: (Old) Add snapping in VSE Preview #122349

Closed
John Kiril Swenson wants to merge 2 commits from eliphaz:vse-preview-snapping into main

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

This patch aims to extend sequencer timeline snapping by also allowing
snapping of transformed strip content in the preview window.

Current plans are to allow snapping of pivot point to
horizontal/vertical center (bundled into one option), and snapping of
strip content bounding boxes to the render borders.

@linen do you need someone to review/look/test this code, or is it still WIP?

Current plans are to allow snapping of pivot point to
horizontal/vertical center (bundled into one option), and snapping of
strip content bounding boxes to the render borders.

For me, the most useful thing would be to snap images(bounding box or pivot) to the X or Y axis of other images, so you can align rows/columns of images.

Still working on it. Will request reviewers when I'm done.

Would you be able to give a specific use-case/example?

What I mean is basically what the strips are doing when they snap to each other on the X axis:

But since the preview allows movement in 2d, the Y axis would also be useful to snap to.

It would be useful for aligning images up against other images:

(As, an alternative, and maybe worth considering, would align & distribute maybe be a more useful feature? Where you select multiple images and align then all)
