  • Bastien Montagne
  • Falk David

  • Sergey Sharybin

Notes

  • Aras and Richard will go over list of old design tasks
  • RNA rename for the sequence / strip:
    • Finish renaming the bpy.types (FooSequence → FooStrip)
    • Keep context properties with the old name
      • Add a deprecation warning in the API docs.
    • Add new fields with the new names
    • List the old names for removak in the 5.0 task
    • Bonus point: add some note abput type deprecation/rename to the compatibility warning task
  • Jack fixes are working on by Sebastian
  • Aras: a lot of refactor and fixes have been done as part of the quality project
  • Prefetch discussion:
    • Seems to work fine, but there is usability feedback
      • Make the memory limit count only the cached frames (and not the whole Blender process)
      • More control what it caches and throws away
      • Move toggle to a more logical place. Hjalti’s proposal was to put it to the header. However, ideally prefetch is always enabled (and is not in the way)
    • Need to think and make a final decision. Maybe have more feedback on it as well.

Practical Info

This is a fortnightly video chat meeting for planning and discussion of VFX & Video in Blender. Any contributor (developer, UI/UX designer, writer, …) working on these areas in Blender is welcome to join and add proposed items to the agenda.

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