How many of these are 2.8x compatible? I’ve dl’ed a couple but they don’t seem to work in 2.8x. Impressive list, less-than-impressive results. Just sayin’.

7

If there is a script you’re in need of, you could try to update it using this add-on: https://github.com/tin2tin/Update_Check_2.80 Or you could let the coders know that you have an interest in their add-on.

This one is a must-have and updated for 2.8+: https://github.com/snuq/VSEQF

8

Thanks for the links, @tin2tin . I will try your Update Check but I’m afraid even if it does find any incompatibilities I certainly wouldn’t know how to fix them (99% Python-ignorant as I am). I suppose asking the authors of the add-ons certainly would be the way to go but the ones I’m interested in are at least two years old and appear abandoned.

Regarding the VSEQF add-on, I was already looking at that. It seems interesting enough to at least play around with! Cheers!

If you copy/paste and run this script in the blender text editor, you’ll find pretty img in the VSE sidebar under Misc: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Botmasher/blender-vse-customizations/master/vse/pretty_img.py

If you want to install it instead change the version number to 2.80 in this file: https://github.com/Botmasher/blender-vse-pretty-img/blob/master/init.py

The reset aspect ratio script also works, all you need is to change the version number.

10

Well, you are the man! :+1: Changing the version number in both of these addons allow me to use them…as scripts, which honestly is better than nothing.

I tried installing both (Preferences > Add-ons > Install) and once installed changed the version numbers in my addons folder but “Pretty Image” throws an error and “reset aspect ratio” doesn’t even show up. Time to stop bugging you (and the followers of this thread) and start asking the developers themselves. In any case, thanks for all your help, @tin2tin! :heart:

One last note: I did install VSEQF and so far it is pretty nice! Thanks again for the tip!

I’ve revived the “Import EDL”(from Blender 2.65) add-on by Campbell, as this is the only current way to import an edit decision list into the Video Sequencer. I’ve also refreshed the UI and fixed a few bugs.

If you want to follow or contribute to vse developments, join this chat: https://blender.chat/channel/vse Patches for toggle buttons in the VSE, coded in C would be a great place to start.
2.83 will come with a lot of bug fixes, and ex. prefetch caching, disk caching, new look for strips, f-curve drawing on strips(ex. transitions) and Power Sequencer is included as add-on and much more. So things are happening, but more coders are needed.

And a lot of patches are waiting of being committed: https://developer.blender.org/project/28/item/view/311/

VSE: Changes to the strips drawing - patch

Authored by Alessio Monti di Sopra

Link to patch
https://developer.blender.org/D6883

Included in Blender 2.83

This patch is derived from D6846 by @Peter Fog (tintwotin), and keeps mostly the same general look regarding handles and outlines.
Discussion between us and on the #vse channel on blender.chat then expanded significantly the scope of the patch.

Before and after

Image
Image1201×612 48.8 KB

The changes in the patch are the following

Selection indication changed towards an outline based system, this in order to easily spot the selected strips and make the video sequencer more consistent with other parts of Blender:
Selected strips have a 2px wide outline, white for the active strip, orange for the other ones (added to the theme). Before this was indicated by darkening the strip, and use white text.
Unselected strips have a regular 1px outline, of a darker shade of the background color.
Active strip is indicated by it having a white text and, when selected, a white outline.

Image
Image1247×179 17.1 KB

Handles

Handles are now smaller and drawn as semi-transparent boxes (their active zone is still the same as before, allowing for some margin of error during mouse selection).
When selected they are highlighted with the same color scheme of the outlines (white for active strip, orange for selected strips).
They are not drawn when the strip is locked, since they have no function in that state.

Image
Image790×177 16.2 KB

Muted strips

Increased transparency to better indicate the state.
For the same reason text color gets dimmed (slightly brighter for regular strips, slightly darker for the active one).

Trim numbers

They are now drawn inside the strip, in the lower part next to the handles, in order to make it easier to understand which label belong to which handle.
They are now only drawn when the strip is selected, to have more focus on the translating strips.
They get hidden when there is not enough horizontal space, to avoid overlappings.
Image

Text drawing changes

Drawn on the top-left part of the strip.
Drawn in the center under a certain zoom level threshold.
Not drawn when there is not enough space (useful for a general view of the timeline).

Image
Image1194×651 67.3 KB

Color strips

A generic color is added to the theme, while the actual color data of the strip is drawn on the bottom half, when there is enough vertical space. This in order to better distinguish them on the timeline and making so that the strip text is always visible, no matter what color the strip is.
Image

Sound strips

When waveforms drawing is active, both text and waveforms are shown, since this has been requested by users.
If there is not enough vertical space, waveforms (if enabled) are preferred over text.

Image
Image1060×153 12.8 KB

Transition strips

Removed theme color, transitions are now composed of two triangles and use their input strips colors, since this will make them easier to recognize.
If one of the inputs is itself a transition, a fallback grey color is used.
If the two input strips are of the same type, the right triangle is drawn slightly darker.

Image
Image1267×153 20.1 KB

F-curves

Animation curves for opacity and volume properties are now shown on the strip as darker regions.
A flag is added to the View menu to enable this (active by default).
Image

Effect strips

Changed theme colors to better indicate categories within the effects.
Their input strips are now highlighted when the effect strip is the active one and selected, this makes it much easier to quickly see which strips are the inputs of effect strips.
Image

Multicam

When Multicam strips are the active one and selected, its source channel is highlighted, since it was hard to locate it otherwise.
Image

Strip offsets and hold still regions

Hold still regions are now always drawn if existent, with a darker shade of the strip’s background color. This makes it easier to understand that the strip is till affecting the timeline, and to read the strip’s text.
As a consequence, “Show offsets” and “Special preview” now only show the offsets.
Offsets are highlighted when the strip is selected (previously they were darkened).

Image
Image750×157 2.78 KB

Meta strips

The insides of the meta range are no longer highlighted.
A checkerboard pattern is now drawn on the outsides of the meta range, to indicate that the content only the content inside is currently visible.
Image

Missing Media

Missing media state is now indicated by a red line drawn on the top part of the strip, still very visible but less aggressive than the previous diagonal strips pattern.

Let’s show some love for Richard’s most brilliant uncommitted blade tool, which splits in either points, over channels or in box over channels - and that with instant preview!
