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 purpose of this is to be more compatible with older
versions of blender (before alpha cleanup) where sequencer
used to display premultiplied image on an straight opengl
viewport.
Now sequencer preview would behave closer to image editor
However adding Alpha and R|G|B displays is not so simple
because sequencer is using 2D textures. Would be nice to
implement this options as well, but this is not so much
important IMO.
This hall fix
- #34453: VSE: Subtract function does not work properly
TODO: Make RGBA display default for our startup.blend
(Did not add those when I created that module, because I did not thought we would actually need them in usual UI code, but turned out I was wrong).
Also made some optimizations in those py gettext funcs, when i18n is disabled at build time, no need to do pyobject -> cstring -> pyobject conversions!.
- add sequence.update(data=False) function.
- made some sequence vars editable.
- correct some comments.
also rename rna function sequence.getStripElem() --> strip_elem_from_frame()
This assumptions are now made:
- Internally float buffers are always linear alpha-premul colors
- Readers should worry about delivering float buffers with that
assumptions.
- There's an input image setting to say whether it's stored with
straight/premul alpha on the disk.
- Byte buffers are now assumed have straight alpha, readers should
deliver straight alpha.
Some implementation details:
- Removed scene's color unpremultiply setting, which was very
much confusing and was wrong for default settings.
Now all renderers assumes to deliver premultiplied alpha.
- IMB_buffer_byte_from_float will now linearize alpha when
converting from buffer.
- Sequencer's effects were changed to assume bytes have got
straight alpha. Most of effects will work with bytes still,
however for glow it was more tricky to avoid data loss, so
there's a commented out glow implementation which converts
byte buffer to floats first, operates on floats and returns
bytes back. It's slower and not sure if it should actually
be used -- who're using glow on alpha anyway?
- Sequencer modifiers should also be working nice with straight
bytes now.
- GLSL preview will predivide float textures to make nice shading,
shading with byte textures worked nice (GLSL was assuming straight
alpha).
- Blender Internal will set alpha=1 to the whole sky. The same
happens in Cycles and there's no way to avoid this -- sky is
neither straight nor premul and doesn't fit color pipeline well.
- Straight alpha mode for render result was also eliminated.
- Conversion to correct alpha need to be done before linearizing
float buffer.
- TIFF will now load and save files with proper alpha mode setting
in file meta data header.
- Remove Use Alpha from texture mapping and replaced with image
datablock setting.
Behaves much more predictable and clear from code point of view
and solves possible regressions when non-premultiplied images were
used as textures with ignoring alpha channel.
There were two issues in scene strip rendering:
- It will skip rendering if scene doesn't have camera but uses compositor
- G.is_break will cancel preview rendering
Also removed Use Sequencer from scene's strip settings, it's not supported.
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).
Replace old color pipeline which was supporting linear/sRGB color spaces
only with OpenColorIO-based pipeline.
This introduces two configurable color spaces:
- Input color space for images and movie clips. This space is used to convert
images/movies from color space in which file is saved to Blender's linear
space (for float images, byte images are not internally converted, only input
space is stored for such images and used later).
This setting could be found in image/clip data block settings.
- Display color space which defines space in which particular display is working.
This settings could be found in scene's Color Management panel.
When render result is being displayed on the screen, apart from converting image
to display space, some additional conversions could happen.
This conversions are:
- View, which defines tone curve applying before display transformation.
These are different ways to view the image on the same display device.
For example it could be used to emulate film view on sRGB display.
- Exposure affects on image exposure before tone map is applied.
- Gamma is post-display gamma correction, could be used to match particular
display gamma.
- RGB curves are user-defined curves which are applying before display
transformation, could be used for different purposes.
All this settings by default are only applying on render result and does not
affect on other images. If some particular image needs to be affected by this
transformation, "View as Render" setting of image data block should be set to
truth. Movie clips are always affected by all display transformations.
This commit also introduces configurable color space in which sequencer is
working. This setting could be found in scene's Color Management panel and
it should be used if such stuff as grading needs to be done in color space
different from sRGB (i.e. when Film view on sRGB display is use, using VD16
space as sequencer's internal space would make grading working in space
which is close to the space using for display).
Some technical notes:
- Image buffer's float buffer is now always in linear space, even if it was
created from 16bit byte images.
- Space of byte buffer is stored in image buffer's rect_colorspace property.
- Profile of image buffer was removed since it's not longer meaningful.
- OpenGL and GLSL is supposed to always work in sRGB space. It is possible
to support other spaces, but it's quite large project which isn't so
much important.
- Legacy Color Management option disabled is emulated by using None display.
It could have some regressions, but there's no clear way to avoid them.
- If OpenColorIO is disabled on build time, it should make blender behaving
in the same way as previous release with color management enabled.

Thanks to Xavier Thomas, Lukas Toene for initial work on OpenColorIO
integration and to Brecht van Lommel for some further development and code/
usecase review!
Initial idea of this input was re-designed in a bit more flexible
way using modifiers.
Also since Color Balance (which was the only thing using effect
mask input) was moved to the modifiers, this input field became
rudiment.
It's pretty tricky to write versioning code to prevent possible
data in cases this field was used, but hope it wouldn't be difficult
to switch to modifiers masks.
Having two ways to control color balance now seems a bit overkill
and not clear.
Removed old Color Balance settings from the interface and logic,
added versioning code to convert this settings to modifier.
Unfortunately, since color balance was a pointer, it's not actually
possible to preserve compatibility of old files saved in new
blender and opened back in old blender.
Hopefully there's no regressions :)
Behaves in exactly the same way as bright/contrast compositor node.
Some code could be de-duplicated, like contrast formula and mask
influence, but wouldn't call it stopper for commit since it's
already needed for grading Mango.
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)
Before this overlay would happen only for defined rectangle area,
now it's possible to show current / reference frames only, which
makes it possible to do more real slit view involving even displaying
frames on different monitors.
Still some work need to be done to clean interface up and support
displaying color information for reference shot.
This implements option which could be used to color balance only
specified area. Currently done by adding Mask input to Adjustment
effect. Affects on color balance and multiply settings.
Supporting masked saturation control is in the list, not supported
in this commit.
Also show value slider in the right of color wheel.
* Code cleanup, removed unneeded code.
* Style cleanup, don't break lines to early
(unless marked as pep8-80 or pep8-120 compliant)
* Keep 1 line after layout declaration empty.
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.
* Code cleanup
* Fixed wrong label for Inverse Select in the Select menu
* Some layout tweaks for space saving and avoid abbreviations in the UI.
* "Image Offset" and "Image Crop" buttons were there twice, once in the Strip Input panel and once in the Effect Strip panel, show it in the Strip Input panel only now.
* Commented the third input fields ("input_3"), only used by the deprecated plugin system according to an RNA comment.
- rename seqelements.push(file) --> filename
- rename SoundSequence.waveform --> show_waveform
- dont pass context to sequencer functions. editing any scenes sequence can be done, irrespective of context.
* Remove RNA, Operator and UI for Texture and Sequence plugins.
Since 2.5x no effort has been done to bring that back, so there is simply no reason in keeping that code and the UI for that ;-)
* Low Level code still exists and is unchanged.
while opengl could be used for display you couldn't output it to a file.
extended the existing opengl render operator to optionally take input from the sequencer.
notes:
- doesn't redraw in the viewport yet (only output in terminal)
- doesn't do OSA
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!)
