Added patch by Matt Ebb, that enhances the sequencer GUI in several ways:
- It looks a lot better
- Strip colours are themeable.
- The drawing code is more readable.
- The background of the timeline makes now distinguishing the channels easier
by alternating between different shades of gray.
- Handle-scaling is clamped to min and max-values, making it possible to
grab strips at large zooming levels more easily.
- Preview-images can be panned by dragging it with the middle mouse button.
Home-Key resets the position.
- Since some people can't grab the meaning of "C 0", it is renamed to "Chan: 0"
- Effect strips have slightly different colors to distinguish them better.
Additionally:
- fixed an off by one error in Matt's patch
- Scene-rendering saves CFRA to avoid jumping current-scene on scrub
(might be academic fix, since most likely it only happens if you add
the sequencer-scene to the timeline... But nevertheless it bugs you on
testing the GUI ;-)

only images input in compositor. Currently still renders in the scene's
own resolution. It also doesn't show scanline/tile updates yet while
rendering.

This patch is mostly a usability patch for the sequencer, mainly written by
Anders Gudmundson and twisted a little bit by me.
- Lock Time to other windows
- Possibility to switch the X-Axis between frames and seconds-display
- IPO-Frame Locking for plugins (T-Key)
- Additional Popup to add HD-Sound and Movie at once
- In Timeline-Window: Sequencer windows only playback
- Make the IPOs a little bit IPO-Frame-Lock friendlier (doesn't jump;
the frame that is drawn has the right dimension)
- Wheel-Mouse buttons make the sequencer window zoom again.
- The "This is not a sound/movie-file message" now reads "... or
FFMPEG-support not compiled in!" since I learned some prominent
people who complained, that hdaudio does not work for them ;-)
- Make SPACEKEY open up the "Add Strip"-Popup on the timeline and start
playback in the preview window.

couple of bugs in the new float support in sequencer;
- when effects have float buffer input, the effect strip itself only got
byte buffers assigned, which bypassed the float versions of effects
- the float version of cross effect used ints to fade... should be float
- tests if an effect should be recalculated didn't check for float yet
- display of float buffer in sequencer preview showed black when no
byte rect was in imbuf
Peter; we need this urgent, so I commit now.. check if this is according
to how you thought floatbuffers to work? thanks!
|
|
Schlaile; do you have a weird texteditor setting or so? It breaks up
function calls in a very strange way, with each argument of a call
on a new line. That's not code that way, that's movie credits! :)
(Check the diff below to see)

- blur works again (this was a serious bug in gamwarp...)
- seperates all sequence effects into a seperate file with a clean interface
- thereby fixing some obscure segfaults
- seperates the scope views into a seperate file
- adds float support to all effects and scope views
- removes a bad level call to open_plugin_seq
- FFMPEG seeking improved a lot.
- FFMPEG compiles with debian sarge version cleanly
- Makes hdaudio seek and resample code really work

of sequencer, except current frame. Apparently the cache limitor doesnt
work for floatbuffers yet... and while rendering, I prefer to have all
memory available for the render itself.
Schlaile; you might check on what is wrong, in case imbufs have have
a rect_float or zbuf_float, the cache doesnt work yet?

passes in single file. Code is currently disabled, commit is mainly to
have a nicer method of excluding OpenEXR dependency from render module.
This should compile with disabled WITH_OPENEXR too.
Reason why EXR is great to include by default in Blender is its feature
to store unlimited layers and channels, and write this tile based. I
need the feature for saving memory; while rendering tiles, all full-size
buffers for all layers and passes are kept in memory now, which can go
into 100s of MB easily.
The code I commit now doesn't allocate these buffers while rendering, but
saves the tiles to disk. In the end is it read back. Overhead for large
renders (like 300 meg buffers) is 10-15 seconds, not bad.
Two more interesting aspects:
- Blender can save such multi-layer files in the temp directory, storing
it with .blend file name and scene name. That way, on each restart of Blender,
or on switching scenes, these buffers can be read. So you always see what was
rendered last. Also great for compositing work.
- This can also become an output image type for rendering. There's plenty of
cases where you want specific layers or passes saved to disk for later use.
Anyhoo, finishing it is another days of work, and I got more urgent stuff
now!

* Large sequencer rewrite to support:
- Audio-tracks, which are not completely loaded into memory (hdaudio) but
kept on disk instead.
- A dependency tree, that builds only the Imbufs, that are really needed
- Cleaner sequencer code
- Per instance data in sequencer plugins (without this, the Dynamic
Noise Reduction plugin would be impossible)
- A Luma Waveform display
- A U/V scatter plot display
- Memcache limiting in sequencer
- Buttons changed according to the boosted framecount limit

- Scene support in RenderLayers
You now can indicate in Compositor to use RenderLayer(s) from other scenes.
Use the new dropdown menu in the "Render Result" node. It will change the
title of the node to indicate that.
The other Scenes are rendered fully separate, creating own databases (and
octrees) after the current scene was finished. They use their own render
settings, with as exception the render output size (and optional border).
This makes the option an interesting memory saver and speedup.
Also note that the render-results of other scenes are kept in memory while
you work. So, after a render, you can tweak all composit effects.
- Render Stats
Added an 'info string' to stats, printed in renderwindow header. It gives
info now on steps "creating database", "shadow buffers", and "octree".
- Bug fixes
Added redraw event for Image window, when using compositor render.
Text objects were not rendered using background render (probably a bug
since depsgraph was added)
Dropdown buttons in Node editor were not refreshed after usage
Sometimes render window did not open, this due to wrong check for 'esc'.
Removed option that renders view-layers on F12, with mouse in 3d window.
Not only was it confusing, it's now more efficient with the Preview Panel,
which does this nicely.

A full detailed description of this will be done later... is several days
of work. Here's a summary:
Render:
- Full cleanup of render code, removing *all* globals and bad level calls
all over blender. Render module is now not called abusive anymore
- API-fied calls to rendering
- Full recode of internal render pipeline. Is now rendering tiles by
default, prepared for much smarter 'bucket' render later.
- Each thread now can render a full part
- Renders were tested with 4 threads, goes fine, apart from some lookup
tables in softshadow and AO still
- Rendering is prepared to do multiple layers and passes
- No single 32 bits trick in render code anymore, all 100% floats now.
Writing images/movies
- moved writing images to blender kernel (bye bye 'schrijfplaatje'!)
- made a new Movie handle system, also in kernel. This will enable much
easier use of movies in Blender
PreviewRender:
- Using new render API, previewrender (in buttons) now uses regular render
code to generate images.
- new datafile 'preview.blend.c' has the preview scenes in it
- previews get rendered in exact displayed size (1 pixel = 1 pixel)
3D Preview render
- new; press Pkey in 3d window, for a panel that continuously renders
(pkey is for games, i know... but we dont do that in orange now!)
- this render works nearly identical to buttons-preview render, so it stops
rendering on any event (mouse, keyboard, etc)
- on moving/scaling the panel, the render code doesn't recreate all geometry
- same for shifting/panning view
- all other operations (now) regenerate the full render database still.
- this is WIP... but big fun, especially for simple scenes!
Compositor
- Using same node system as now in use for shaders, you can composit images
- works pretty straightforward... needs much more options/tools and integration
with rendering still
- is not threaded yet, nor is so smart to only recalculate changes... will be
done soon!
- the "Render Result" node will get all layers/passes as output sockets
- The "Output" node renders to a builtin image, which you can view in the Image
window. (yes, output nodes to render-result, and to files, is on the list!)
The Bad News
- "Unified Render" is removed. It might come back in some stage, but this
system should be built from scratch. I can't really understand this code...
I expect it is not much needed, especially with advanced layer/passes
control
- Panorama render, Field render, Motion blur, is not coded yet... (I had to
recode every single feature in render, so...!)
- Lens Flare is also not back... needs total revision, might become composit
effect though (using zbuffer for visibility)
- Part render is gone! (well, thats obvious, its default now).
- The render window is only restored with limited functionality... I am going
to check first the option to render to a Image window, so Blender can become
a true single-window application. :)
For example, the 'Spare render buffer' (jkey) doesnt work.
- Render with border, now default creates a smaller image
- No zbuffers are written yet... on the todo!
- Scons files and MSVC will need work to get compiling again
OK... thats what I can quickly recall. Now go compiling!

Credits go to Gernot Ziegler, who originally coded EXR support, and to
Austin Benesh for bringing it further. Kent Mein provided a lot of code
for integrating float buffers in Blender imbuf and ImBuf API cleanup,
and provided Make and Scons and static linking.
At this moment; the EXR libraries are a *dependency*, so you cannot get
the Orange branch compiled without having OpenEXR installed. Get the
(precompiled or sources) stuff from www.openexr.com. Current default is
that the headers and lib resides in /user/local/
Several changes/additions/fixes were added:
- EXR code only supported 'half' format (16 bits per channel). I've added
float writing, but for reading it I need tomorrow. :)
- Quite some clumsy copying of data happened in EXR code.
- cleaned up the api calls already a bit, preparing for more advanced
support
- Zbuffers were saved 16 bits, now 32 bits
- automatic adding of .exr extensions went wrong
Imbuf:
- added proper imbuf->flags and imbuf->mall support for float buffers, it
was created for *each* imbuf. :)
- found bugs for float buffers in scaling and flipping. Code there will
need more checks still
- imbuf also needs to be verified to behave properly when no 32 bits
rect exists (for saving for example)
TODO:
- support internal float images for textures, backbuf, AO probes, and
display in Image window
Hope this commit won't screwup syncing with bf-blender... :/

depsgraph 2 times to often, also confusing particle drawing when disp %
is set.
And: little cleanup in render code (move includes in order)
|
|
|
|
|

a strobe effect synced exactly to a beat, for example, by using non-integer
values.
Is it just me, or are there recently a lot of crashes in sequencer when
using audio strips?
|
|
In the NKEY flying panel, you can set "Strobe" to something other than 1
for only displaying each nth picture of the strip. You know the effect
from movies :)
(I put this into the NKEY panel rather than as a effect because effects
only affect single frames (?) while this rather has to do with the
timing... like "Reverse")
|
|
Option to play sequence strips (Movie, Image, Scene) in reverse.
New toggle in the NKEY buttons for sequence strips.
Thanks Shaul!
|
|
Sequence effect "gamma cross" didn't work since 2.36. Caused by not
initialized gamma tables...
|
|
This was enforced in a commit 5 months ago, for proper redraws while
working in sequencer itself (with scene strips)
Found by Ztonzy, explained by Jesterking. Thanks! :)

File name (40) and dirname (80) were too short in sequence data. Made it
compliant using defines FILE_MAXFILE and FILE_MAXDIR.
Also replaced all strcpy() and strcat() with strncpy/strncat, with the
defines in it.
Oh, also fixed plugin path length for sequence, was just 80!
Bug fix #2366
Restored old convention that made using SHIFT+CTRL while using button-
sliders go with 0.1 stepsize of CTRL.
(noticed too late that Chris Burt assigned to self... sorry!)
|
|
NOTE: BLI_winstuff.h was meant to be a wrapper around windows.h to handle
undefining various crap that windows.h defines. Platform specific headers
should only have to be included in a few places. This reduces the number
of inclusions of BLI_winstuff.h to 16 which is a much more reasonable
number (than the 144 or whatever it used to be)
|

When using Sequencer for Alpha-Over images, it was assuming "Key" alpha by
default, and converting images to "Premul" (= multiplying RGB with alpha).
This isn't very nice, also because alpha generated by MBlur in Blender
always is of type Premul already.
Solution; make this an option. In the Nkey panel for strips you can set
or disable Premul now. As extra also added the "Filter" and "Mul" options,
as already there for Movie strips. Can easily be extended to more options
for various postprocess effects.

Render:
- New; support for dual CPU render (SDL thread)
Currently only works with alternating scanlines, but gives excellent
performance. For both normal render as unified implemented.
Note the "mutex" locks on z-transp buffer render and imbuf loads.
- This has been made possible by major cleanups in render code, especially
getting rid of globals (example Tin Tr Tg Tb Ta for textures) or struct
OSA or using Materials or Texture data to write to.
- Made normal render fully 4x32 floats too, and removed all old optimizes
with chars or shorts.
- Made normal render and unified render use same code for sky and halo
render, giving equal (and better) results for halo render. Old render
now also uses PostProcess options (brightness, mul, gamma)
- Added option ("FBuf") in F10 Output Panel, this keeps a 4x32 bits buffer
after render. Using PostProcess menu you will note an immediate re-
display of image too (32 bits RGBA)
- Added "Hue" and "Saturation" sliders to PostProcess options
- Render module is still not having a "nice" API, but amount of dependencies
went down a lot. Next todo: remove abusive "previewrender" code.
The last main global in Render (struct Render) now can be re-used for fully
controlling a render, to allow multiple "instances" of render to open.
- Renderwindow now displays a smal bar on top with the stats, and keeps the
stats after render too. Including "spare" page support.
Not only easier visible that way, but also to remove the awkward code that
was drawing stats in the Info header (extreme slow on some ATIs too)
- Cleaned up blendef.h and BKE_utildefines.h, these two had overlapping
defines.
- I might have forgotten stuff... and will write a nice doc on the architecture!

Sequence editor crash when you delete Scenes which were used as a strip.
Related to that, file reading code didn't restore pointers for strips
correctly when you save with open "Meta" strip.
First bug 8 year old. Second 1 month. :)
|
|
Combining panorama scene and Sequencer effect on scene (like glow) crashed.
Found two other issues;
- on click in sequencer, the image output window didn't redraw correct, but
only when a render window was opened. Caused by missing 'activate' call
- added a pause in dragging-frame loop to make it idle friendly
|
|
noticable difference when you add the effect (preventing
people like K-Rich wondering why it's not working :)

committed that was originally a sequence plugin from sirdude.
The changes from the original include the ability to add a blurred edge with a selectable width to the wipe and to rotate the effect.
Has these sweep types included already
-single
-double
-iris
These still need to be coded
-box
-cross
-clock
|
|
|
|
Ton, where would I be without you)
- Sweep effect updates after you change the type of sweep now.
|
|
this consists of 22 different ways to sweep from 1 strip to another. For you windows lovers: it's like "Blinds" in Powerpoint :)
- in the NKEY menu you can choose which type you want perform, vertical, horizontal, in/out etc. it's too much to decribe.
Credits for this go to Kent 'Sirdude" Mein who coded the sequence plugin I stole the code from.
To allow certain sequence effects to have settings, I also added a "varstr" void pointer to the Sequence DNA, that can point to a special struct for each effect. This is similar to how plugins are handles.
more neat effects to come....

colors. This because of the pretty weird (ab)use of load & make editmesh...
For each added undo step, the load_editmesh was fed with an empty mesh
to assign data to, without knowledge of what was in the original mesh.
That way UV and color data got lost.
Solved it in 2 steps:
1. removing the ->tface pointer from EditVlak, and make TFace a builtin
struct inside EditVlak. This didnt cost much extra mem, since it already
stored UV and color. This enabled some pretty cleanup in editmesh.c as
well, storing tface pointers was cumbersome.
2. for each undo step, it then generates always a tface and mcol block to
link to the undo Mesh.
Even when it wasn't in the actual Mesh, at exit editmode the original
Mesh is used as reference anyway, and undo-meshes are freed correctly.
The enormous commit is because I had to change the BLI_editVert.h file, and
found it was included in about every file unnecessary. I removed it there.
ALso found out that subsurf has code ready (unfinished) to make UV coords for
the displaylist in EditMode as well, nice to know for later...

include only (use BIF_interface.h instead)
- split up interface.c in two files: NEW: interface_panel.c

size of this;
Finally, the Sequencer audio support and global audio/animation sync stuff!
(See http://intrr.org/blender/audiosequencer.html)
Stuff that has been done:
./source/blender/blenloader/intern/writefile.c
./source/blender/blenloader/intern/readfile.c
Added code to make it handle sounds used by audio strips, and to convert
Scene data from older (<2.28) versions to init Scene global audio settings
(Scene->audio) to defaults.
./source/blender/include/BSE_seqaudio.h
./source/blender/src/seqaudio.c
The main audio routines that start/stop/scrub the audio stream at
a certain frame position, provide the frame reference for the current
stream position, mix the audio, convert the audio, mixdown the audio
into a file.
./source/blender/makesdna/DNA_sound_types.h
Introduced new variables in the bSound struct to accomodate the sample
data after converted to the scene's global mixing format (stream, streamlen).
Also added a new flag SOUND_FLAGS_SEQUENCE that gets set if the Sound
belongs to a sequence strip.
./source/blender/makesdna/DNA_scene_types.h
Added AudioData struct, which holds scene-global audio settings.
./source/blender/makesdna/DNA_sequence_types.h
Added support for audio strips. Some variables to hold Panning/Attenuation
information, position information, reference to the sample, and some flags.
./source/blender/makesdna/DNA_userdef_types.h
./source/blender/src/usiblender.c
Added a "Mixing buffer size" userpref. Made the versions stuff initialize
it to a default for versions <2.28.
./source/blender/makesdna/DNA_space_types.h
./source/blender/src/filesel.c
Added a Cyan dot to .WAV files. Any other suggestions on a better color? :)
./source/blender/src/editsound.c
Changes (fixes) to the WAV file loader, re-enabled some gameengine code that
is needed for dealing with bSounds and bSamples.
./source/blender/src/editipo.c
./source/blender/src/drawseq.c
./source/blender/src/editnla.c
./source/blender/src/space.c
./source/blender/src/drawview.c
./source/blender/src/renderwin.c
./source/blender/src/headerbuttons.c
- Created two different wrappers for update_for_newframe(), one which scrubs
the audio, one which doesn't.
- Replaced some of the occurences of update_for_newframe() with
update_for_newframe_muted(), which doesn't scrub the audio.
- In drawview.c: Changed the synchronization scheme to get the current audio
position from the audio engine, and use that as a reference for setting
CFRA. Implements a/v sync and framedrop.
- In editipo.c: Changed handling of Fac IPOs to be usable for audio strips as
volume envelopes.
- In space.c: Added the mixing buffer size Userpref, enabled audio scrubbing
(update_for_newframe()) for moving the sequence editor framebar.
./source/blender/src/editseq.c
Added support for audio strips and a default directory for WAV files which
gets saved from the last Shift-A operation.
./source/blender/src/buttons.c
Added Scene-global audio sequencer settings in Sound buttons.
./source/blender/src/sequence.c
Various stuff that deals with handling audio strips differently than
usual strips.

Might be possible I mised an .h or so, just notify me in that case.

#ifdef HAVE_CONFIG_H
#include <config.h>
