Discussion
Title Zoom

Title Interaction with the preview
Summary Effects should get mouse events from the preview window, so that one can control the transform effect directly.

  • Cinelerra has some features for loading up many clips at once and keeping them in a clip library. It displays a thumbnail of each clip. From discussions on the Cinelerra mailing list, other packages do this better. M.e 11:43, 18 May 2007 (CEST)
  • Sony Vegas previously Sonic Foundry has a Media bin directedition

Effects

Discussion
BlenderDev/SequenceEffects
Title Bake effect strip
Summary Cache rendered results to file: very usefull for complicated effect filter pipelines when the sequencer can't do in realtime anymore.
Link Discussion
Proposer, Data Peter Schlaile


Plugin system

Requests/Plugin-System

I think it will be a good idea to add some plugin support for the video/graphics effects, that can be exported also for textures and materials. Now that it exist also the node based workflow, it will be a very useful tool. BArrYZ

  • Don't know, what you mean by plugin system. There is already one in place... (that could be cleaned up, but it is there and usefull.) Peter Schlaile 21:36, 20 November 2006 (CET)
    • Peter if you think that reworking the pluginsystem could be an idea I'll leave that in the todo, or I'll move this in the Attic mindrones 2008-08-08


Other Non-Linear-Editors

Discussion

Under this section we should collect what we like in other NLEs as a scratch board for new TODO items.
Here is a list of known editors:

Final Cut Pro | ULEAD Media Pro | Sony Vegas | Adobe Premiere | Cinelerra | Microsoft MovieMaker | iMovie | Lives | Kino | Kdenlive

For the sake of clarity, let's keep our discussions under the relevant NLE section

Temporary section


Title Adapation of Aspect Ratios
Summary Strips should be able to adapt to different screen formats such as 16:9 and 4:3 with relevant letterboxing / padding.
Link NoLinkYet


  • The Histogram/Luma/Chroma preview methods for the sequence editor are really nice- is there a way to generalize them to other image buffers (e.g. render result or viewer node) so we can benefit from them outside the sequence editor Bassam
  • I imported a long file and did a lot of cutting and sliding to get just the strips I wanted, all butted up against each other. Then I wanted to Alpha something over those clips, but the thing I was alpha-ing under overlapped several of the movie clips, so I had to do alpha unders from the overlay to each of the sub clips. So really if I have something in channel 4 and many clips in 5 and I do an alpha under from 4 to 5, then it should not matter which clip in 5 the thing in 4 is over timewise. Does this make any sense? OR be able to make a meta strip out of a bunch of clips that are just butted up against each other. guitargeek
    • Solution: Node Image input strip selectors make it easy to do this. See wiki on splicing. Roger
    • Hmm. If I understood him correctly, a metastrip should have easily done the trick. Or am I on the wrong track? Peter Schlaile
  • would be nice to have eg. transform, speed and other effects (when possible) also work with the alpha, so we can still use alpha-over modes without having to add an alpha over effect. anonymous?
  • Storyboard sequence: Maybe we can add the storyboard image sequence as a import type. each storyboard in the sequence can be control as a single sequence,at the same time the storyboard sequence is the whole . and the overlay title is very helpful,maybe we can add a title panel for it.In the panel we can add the addon overlay information for the sequence or the image and we can control the information 's position on the image.andthen we can add a alone dialogue track for the dialogue title.(The overlay text contain the two types:the overlay information and the dialogue.The text node(see as the compsite node feature request list) will be used as a overlay title).We also need a powerful image browser to view the storyboard image.--Sumomofan 21 March 2007

Bug Reports?

  • Give the option to autodetect the fps of the imported video+audio in order to avoid that video track be longer than the audio track. Otomo
  • The jumping timeline is still a problem for me (I like having the IPO, Sequencer and Timeline with "locked time" on.) Selecting an effect or audio with unset IPO makes the Sequencer window jump back to the default -5 to 105 frames. anders_gud
