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.
This is the first step in what will eventually be keyframable time
remapping. The speed/duration dialog was a holdover from 0.1 and we can
probably do better here.
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.
General code and functionality improvements. Moved more code out of the
OpenGL backend for portability. Implemented audio transitions.
Implemented basic transition animation curve settings.
I think there was an earlier commit with a similar name but turns out
I'd only done foundational work in that commit and never actually
properly set it up. Of course once I did, there were several issues that
needed fixing to make it work correctly, but now it works as expected.
Heavily optimizes larger projects by allowing cache jobs to only copy
what has changed.
The nodes now have more control over how their accelerated shaders/sample
functions are run, as well as how items are popped off the value tables.
This allows for various optimizations that we didn't have access to before.
Addresses scheduling issues where a backend might be closed (or even
destroyed) before it processes a waveform signal from a worker. Requires
extra multithreading code.
Features a lot of timeline-related cache optimizations as well as general
optimizations and improvements in timeline behavior. Should improve
usability significantly.
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.
As opposed to simply leaving all values in the table, nodes can now "take"
values that they use to free up memory (e.g. "taking" input buffers if they're
used to produce an output buffer).
This is a fairly large change, expect regressions.

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.
