Should address any XML parsing issues and allows for simpler, more maintainable
code. Should also address a crash that could occur when pasting nodes that had
inputs that weren't copied.
functions
Indexing is a lengthy process and had a high chance of getting RenderWorkers
stuck doing it rather than being responsive to cache requests. This commit
introduces a system where workers never index media, but instead signal that
media is not ready to their RenderBackends which ensure that the media gets
indexed and re-queues the affected frames when those indexes are ready.
When adjusting a slider, keyframe time, or curve value, it is undesirable to
re-cache the entire affected area while the user is still dragging UI objects.
Since the video is unlikely to be playing, the priority must go to the
currently active frame so the user gets visual feedback on the rendered image
as soon as possible. This was implemented in some areas, but this commit should
have that functionality in all areas.
`rational` is supposed to "fix signs" and "reduce" whenever its values are set,
but I neglected to do this when its values were set by an AVRational. Now it
will do so on both.
frames
Previously, when the video renderer received a dirty cache signal, it would
proceed to extract all frames from the range and queue them. However, this could
be extremely slow for long ranges since it had to iterate through the entire
range and calculate the individual frames it contained. Now, we use the same
range combining system as audio and automatically calculate the next frame
within the range only when necessary. Essentially the same work, but split up
over time and done only when needed leading to no discernible UI pause when
invalidating cache.
Widget now supports creating keyframe and standard values, supports dragging
from sliders (not creating an undo command for each drag), and everything is
undoable.
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.
I was under the impression Q_DISABLE_COPY_MOVE was a much older function than
it is. Since we historically target 5.6 and these functions are small
convenience functions, I just implemented them in the actual codebase.
Once again, conceptually this system should work, however it does not seem to
be the most efficient and it wouldn't surprise me if the multithreading was
eventually upgraded to an even more coherent system one day. However for
"core principles" this should be fairly decent.
The new rendering pipeline strives to simplify the nodes themselves as much
as possible and move much of the logic to an external rendering engine. This
change removes all of the responsibilities that no longer belong to the
nodes themselves and will soon be folded into the renderer.
