New Version 19.12: Move Freely

Dec 16, 2019.

Version 19.12 is now available for DOWNLOAD!

This version makes the Timeline much more flexible. Previously, you could only move a clip to a blank spot on the timeline, or the move operation would be rejected and the clip would snap back to its original location. This is no longer restricted, and you can move anywhere as if you were inserting or overwriting with a new clip. Of course, you need to be more careful now! Also, when using drag-n-drop to make a transition, previously you could not have a gap in the timeline between the two clips. Now, you can drag over a gap and overlap the clips to make the transition (but still only for neighboring clips on the same track, by design.) These two improvements were needed to support the ability to move multiple clips at once. We expect to include that in the first version of 2020. Meanwhile, there were some important fixes to get out and changes for people to adjust to.

  • Added 3 new filters:

  • Added Playlist > Update Thumbnails.
  • Added Update Thumbnails to the timeline video clip menu.
  • Added keyboard shortcut Shift+Escape to give the player focus (take focus away from certain widgets).
  • Added a Two Column Scroll template to the Text: HTML filter (convenient for film-style credits).

Fixes

  • Fixed saving a preset with a slash in the name.
  • Fixed export fails if the system temporary directory is not writable.
  • Fixed removing some temporary files on exit.
  • Fixed the timeline Ripple All Tracks option was not saved with history (before the current setting used during undo and redo).
  • Fixed an image sequence in Export > From > Playlist may show “INVALID” on export.
  • Fixed changing Properties (for example, image duration) not updating the Playlist.

Changes

  • Changed the minimum of the Gain/Volume filter to -70 dB.
  • Removed Settings > Deinterlacer > YADIF. (This was causing crashes, and this option only affects preview, not export.)
  • Changed the Timeline and Keyframes toolbars to respond to View > Small Icons.
  • Added a limit to undo History configurable to new configuration key undoLimit that defaults to 1000.
  • Upgraded Mesa software OpenGL in Windows build to version 19.2.7.
