Meeting Notes

  • Text Presets have revealed a need for having strip locations optionally not be expressed in pixels, but rather as normalized (or percentage) locations, for example “positioned 10% from the bottom”. Discussion on how that should be done exactly: additional relative location property, or position “units” (px, %) option. Are there other things expressed in pixel units today, that would need an option for relative sizes (e.g. text strip font size)?
  • Modifier visibility toggle (PR 146955) is almost ready, now with previously agreed way of dealing with caches.
  • Composition guides in preview (PR 157117) is almost done. The UI layout should be changed to better use the two columns (Thirds/Center on left side, Golden/Harmony on right side).
  • Captions editor (WIP PR 152797) is really waiting for design input by now.
  • Falk has finished strip compositor modifier group inputs being exposed in the modifier UI! (PR 156706)
  • Pratik is attempting to use region overlap for the VSE sidebar (WIP PR 155398). Good question on whether it actually makes sense to use region overlap for the timeline sidebar (it makes sense for preview, but much less for timeline).

Practical Info

This is a video chat meeting for planning and discussion of the Video Sequence Editor in Blender. Happens every two weeks on Tuesday. Any contributor (developer, UI/UX designer, writer, …) working on these areas in Blender is welcome to join and discuss things.

For users and other interested parties, we ask to read the meeting notes instead so that the meeting can remain focused.
