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

Aug 12 - Aug 16

This week I made some more changes to connected strips based on feedback:

  • Removed double-click in favor of alt (option)+click to operate on individual strips.
    • This means that now you can tweak individual handles with just one click, instead of two clicks as before (double-click in, then move around). This keybind is also closer to industry standard, so it should be more intuitive for people who are used to other programs’ shortcuts.

Here’s a gif courtesy of Pablo showing how quick J and L cuts can be made with the new behavior:

  • With alt+click, now toggle (shift) can be used to toggle on/off entire connected strip groups instead of individual strips.
    • This allows you to quickly extend your selection without having to select every individual connected strip.
