Project items are now represented directly in nodes opening up more versatility and possibilities. This is the first iteration of this and will be buggy. Need to test thoroughly.
This makes the node system somewhat more high-level with the intent of making
working with them far more flexible and stable. By making the architecture more
abstracted, it becomes far less rigid which should allow us to do even more
with it and make it much less crash prone.
I'll be honest, this stuff probably caused a lot of crashes. Objects were constantly created and destroyed without the foresight that other commands might be using them. This should fix a lot of that.
Yep, this is another one of my "famous" sweeping rewrites. Expect things to break.
Goals for this are:
- Greatly simplify node connections (particularly with arrays) so the code requires less maintenance/is more stable
- Redesign node structure to address issues where UI would stall for lengthy periods of time
- Less reliance on shared ptrs/greater reliance on QObject system for inheritance/memory management
- General code cleanup and improvements
The macro defined namespaces confused the hell out of lupdate and more or less broke translations permanently. Looks like the only way we can do it is to have a hardcoded namespace, which goes against my instinct, but honestly how likely is it that we'll change the namespace anyway (I guess forks might want to do it, but that's their problem ;) )
Implements a very basic GLSL deinterlace that simply halves the vertical
resolution and then interpolates between the fields. This can be toggled
on or off.
The reasons for being so basic is:
- Speed, very quick code running in OpenGL
- It would seem the highest quality deinterlacers are temporally based
which doesn't make much sense for the viewer, particularly since we can't
double the frame rate since our timecode is fixed to the frames.
Higher quality interlacing/deinterlacing will be present in the actual
renderer.
Implements the following:
- Sequences have pixel aspect ratios that work in tandem with footage PARs
to render footage correctly. Viewer and export also acknowledge PARs
- Sequences can have interlacing settings. This doesn't do anything yet,
eventually the renderer will need to interlace/deinterlace/reinterlace
appropriately in order to conform all the footage to the sequence. Export
acknowledges interlacing, but this only affects metadata, not the image.
Shifted from CacheTask to functionality built into RenderBackend. It was
a lot easier to control behavior this way without having to juggle a ton
of threads and race conditions.
Could likely be multithreaded further.
Improves stability and cache reliability.
Earlier iterations were prone to skipping necessary signals (usually
leading to some sort of assert fail), particularly when track
optimizations were used. Those optimizations have been moved to the
viewer node so there's a higher degree of control over which signals
get optimized and in which ways.
Ensures their thread gets changed along with the viewer. The project
gets loaded/created in a background thread so the GUI can remain
responsive, and is then moved to the main thread for intended event
handling. However if the caches aren't parented, the hierarchy breaks
and the caches remain in a thread whose event loop is quickly destroyed.
Now that they're parented, events can be properly queued on them once
again.
