Please be aware there will be a one-time conversion of cached thumbnails and waveform data when you run this. The old database will be kept so if you downgrade or run an older version you still have a cache to rely on. You can remove either db.sqlite3 (old) or thumbnails (new) in the app data directory to cleanup (old) or re-run the conversion (new).
New
- Added support for WebP export with presets for still sequence and animation.
- Added Properties > Measure Video Quality... using VMAF.
To use this, you first open the reference video, choose this new menu item in Properties, and then choose the video you want to measure with the file dialog that opens. If you want to use the current project for the reference, you should export it lossless and use that for reference. - Added a new video filter GPS Text (contributed by Daniel F).
This renders data from a GPX file as text. - Added a new video filter Reflect.
