Features a lot of timeline-related cache optimizations as well as general
optimizations and improvements in timeline behavior. Should improve
usability significantly.
Rather than plugging a matrix into the video input node, the matrix is now
multiplied by the video input using a math node. This is probably more
sensible from a user perspective.
This also means the renderer is tolerant of texture sizes that are not equal
to the sequence size, however most nodes will downsample the texture to the
sequence size (and if not, it will be downsampled once it is cached). Textures
will still *always* be in reference space and the sequence's format. This seems
like the best compromise between backend and frontend congruity.
A huge optimization that ensures only the parts of a node graph that have
changed get pushed to the renderer. For thread-safety, the node graph is
copied elsewhere so that users can make changes asynchronously and the graph
can update when its threads are ready. Up until now, if an input value changed,
every node's values would be re-copied, or worse, if a connection was changed,
the entire graph would be recopied. This has been negligible in testing since
we've been largely testing with small graphs, but for massive projects, it's
important that this be as optimized as possible.
This required various changes to various parts of the infrastructure (mostly
using paths to finding the "root project" of any given object throughout).
Now theoretically infinite projects can be opened and accounted for at any
given time.
Since waveforms are generated during the cache process, if clips don't cache,
a waveform isn't generated for them. Therefore for now, this optimization will
be disabled but should be re-enabled later when waveforms are improved to handle
this situation.
after the gaps are made and cleaned
Results in more reliable ripple delete behavior.
Also fixes bug that would cause gaps that were cleaned and then restored in an
undo to crash when selected.
This functions more or less identically to using a media out value, but the
desired speed is preserved through block length changes, even if the block's
length is reduced to zero (i.e. no rounding errors).
Splitting commands would run CopyInputs after set_length. Since length is now
a parameter (aka a NodeInput) the former would override the latter breaking the
implementation. This commit fixes that.
An earlier commit implementing media in and out parameters was primarily for
this addition. A simple control dialog for the clip's speed presentation
reimplemented from the old codebase.
Previous iteration used some "magic code" that added clips automatically to the
timeline. This was functional but ultimately outside of the undo commands'
control meaning nodes could be infinitely added and abandoned. This makes the
add process part of the undo command which means it's all undoable as the user
would expect.
Fixes recurring design issue that the Blocks were a frequent exception to the
DAG concept. The Blocks connecting to each others inputs/outputs while not
necessarily being "dependent" on each other to produce an image continually
causes issues while trying to create a rendering code path. This redesign
should provide a more "directed" approach to the directed acyclic graph.
Since we're now working with a separate proxy copy of the original node graph,
if the user changes a parameter in one of those nodes (triggering an
InvalidateCache signal), the values in our copied graph need to be updated
with these new values too.
