I'll be honest, this probably makes no noticeable difference at all. It should be faster and more efficient, but whether that translates into any tangible improvement is yet to be seen.
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.
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 ;) )
Image streams were initially separated from video streams, but they're now
joined with a parameter defining if they're a still image, image sequence,
or regular video. The image sequence import process has also improved so
that if images from the same sequence are imported too, they'll either be
ignored or the user won't be asked again for those if they should be an
image sequence (fixes#1193). Also shifts decoder "probe" process to return
an item, useful if the decoder returns a non-footage item.
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.
We had support for detecting aspect ratios and respecting them in the
render, but this allows people to not only see the aspect ratio in use,
but also override it with their own.
Removed proxy task and replaced with a true honest-to-god pre-cache for
footage. This footage is pre-cached to a sequence and therefore 100% ready
for use in it once the task is done.
Turned the two-step PCM transcode into one step and simplified/removed much of
the unnecessary infrastructure that supported it. This makes the code cleaner
and generally improves the code paths.
