GSoC 2024: Sprucing up the Video Sequencer (Weekly Reports)

July 29 - August 2

Hello again everyone, sorry for the delay – I was unexpectedly left without internet connection for the past 4 days while traveling.

On the bright side:

Connected Strips Are Here

I’ve finished up connected strips functionality, and the patch is ready for review. Check it out: https://projects.blender.org/blender/blender/pulls/124333

Here’s a couple gifs demonstrating the functionality:
CON_import-cut-n-drag
Imported strips are connected by default (either via drag+drop or the Add menu). There is an option in the Add menu to turn off connections for newly imported strips.

CON_new_connect
Strips are disconnected from any existing connections before connecting to new ones.

CON_preview_select
Connected strips are selected together in the preview just like in the timeline.

Although I was fairly busy with travel for the past month, I’m now in a position to settle down and work longer hours, so hopefully “active channel” functionality will be out by the end of the month.

Thanks everyone for your patience.
