This release adds the foundation for motion and effects, alongside many improvements & fixes.
Features
- Keyframe animation system for animating element properties over time.
- Entirely new efects system. Effects can be applied per-clip or added as standalone elements on the timeline (with our first effect: Blur!)
- Added a changelog page to the site.
- Ripple editing mode.
Improvements
- New text elements no longer have a black background by default.
- Selection outline in the preview is now dashed.
- Adjacent clips on the timeline now have a small gap between them so selected clips are always clearly visible.
- Press Escape to deselect the current element.
Fixes
- Fixed an issue where click-and-drag selection on one timeline track could accidentally select items from the track below.
- Audio could flicker or cut out at the start of playback when certain elements were selected. The scheduler now recovers from timing slips without losing audio.
- Dragging a clip onto the timeline and pressing Ctrl+Z now removes both the clip and the track it created in one step, instead of requiring two undos.
- A few values in the properties panel were previously showing incorrect values. This has been fixed.
- Timeline trim handles now sit outside the clip instead of inside them, so the clip's visible area accurately represents where it starts and ends.
- Clips being dragged on the timeline now render on top of other clips instead of underneath them.
- Undoing a trim-from-start operation now correctly restores the clip to its original position and length, instead of stretching it to the right.
- Resizing a clip on the timeline would deselect it when the mouse was released. The clip now stays selected after a resize.
- Resizing a clip could extend it past another clip on the same track, causing an overlap. The resize now stops at the next clip's edge.
- Dragging a clip to a different track would deselect it on drop. The clip stays selected after moving.
- Finishing a resize or drag with the mouse over empty track space would deselect the clip.
