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.
- make ortho grid drawing use vertex arrays
- make perspective view floor drawing cache result of UI_ThemeColorShade so its not called on every line.
- make perspective view floor only loop once on each axis when the grid floor isnt being drawn (was looking over all grid lines for no reason).
- add UI_GetColorPtrShade3ubv() to replace UI_GetColorPtrBlendShade3ubv() when no blending is needed.
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.
- operator strings were doing undo pushes (in fileselector text for example), this is dumb since the operators themselves handle undo.
- interface code checks rna props are arrays rather then checking the array length.
- disable properties window pin undoing.
- sequencer refresh was calling undo, disable since this is clearnign global data not handled by undo.
- added commented out code for drawing mesh vertex index/key index, useful for debugging shapekey - hook issyes.
- 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.
Improved waveform drawing in the sequencer.
* Drawing the waveform of a sequencer strip is now independent from whether the sound is cached or not.
* Improved drawing of the waveform in the sequencer (especially speed!).
* Making it possible to vertically zoom more in the sequencer to better see the waveform for lipsync.
* Fixed a bug which crashed blender on loading a sound file via ffmpeg.
* Pepper depends on ffmpeg 0.7.1 or higher now, windows and mac build systems set to ffmpeg-0.8
* Fixed orientation retrieval in OpenAL device code.
* Added stopAll() method to AUD_IDevice (also for Python) and call it on BGE exit
* Changed BGE to use audaspace via native C++ instead over the C API.
* Made AUD_SequencerFactory and AUD_SequencerEntry thread safe.
* Changed sound caching into a flag which fixes problems on file loading, especially with undo.
* Removed unused parameter from sound_mute_scene_sound
* Fixed bug: changing FPS didn't update the sequencer sound positions.
* Fixed bug: Properties of sequencer strips weren't set correctly.
* Minor warning fixes.
dont show a popup anymore, was silly because you had to change the value for before anything was done, can use f6 redo popup instead, sequencer should eventually have a view3d operator redo panel.
Time-scale drawing wasn't respecting the time unit setting.
While working on this, I tried to tweak the grid drawing to a more
common setting. It's hardcoded to show lines at every 25 px = once
every 25 frames, which is only really fine when FPS=25. Anyways, this
works fine enough for the sequencer for now in general usage.
This commit adds an experimental effect strip to the sequencer: "Title
Card".
This is useful for adding simple one-line text section headers or
"title cards" (i.e. title + author/contact details) to video clips,
which is often seen in demo videos accompanying papers and/or
animation tests.
See http://aligorith.blogspot.com/2011/06/gsoc11-simple-title-
cards.html for some more details on usage.
Code notes:
- There are a few things I've done here which will probably need
cleaning up. For instance, the hacks to get threadsafe fonts for
rendering, and also the way I've tried to piggyback the backdrop
drawing on top of the Solid Colour strips (this method was used to
keep changes here minimal, but is quite fragile if things change).
