As I can’t edit the first post I’ll just keep adding to the list of potential Good First Issue here:
Range is a global setting, so when switching scenes you’ll have to re-adjust the range every time. It’s particular annoying when switching from a Scene with a lot of footage to a Scene with almost no footage. So make range a local value of scenes. This is crucial for this workflow: Media organization and editing workflow in Blender Video Sequence Editor - YouTube
Ctrl + Left Mouse on Playhead should select all strips at Current Frame. Currently is Ctrl + Left Mouse on either side of Playhead selecting all strips to these respective sides.
Scaling instead of cropping, when changing resolution: Video Editing - Changing Resolution does not work anymore? - Compositing and Post Processing - Blender Artists Community
Add Text outlines, if possible: Right-Click Select — Blender Community
Add centered alignment for multiline texts(not just text-block): Right-Click Select — Blender Community
Add new line entry to text strips or commit this workaround patch: ⚙ D10775 VSE & Text Editor Add: Send to Strip
Glow is not multithreaded, it’s needed to ex. workaround making text outlines: Add_text_strip_outline.py · GitHub
Add auto-range, new users constantly make a fuss about only being able to see the first 250 frames without knowing why: Right-Click Select — Blender Community
Add waveform to Meta and Scene strips: Right-Click Select — Blender Community
Add strip parenting: Right-Click Select — Blender Community GitHub - snuq/VSEQF: VSE Quick Functions Addon For Blender. Improve the Blender video editor with new workflows and functions.
Add drag and drop of Movie, Sound and Image files from the outliner into the Sequencer. DONE.
Cache, keep some cached frames behind playhead for reverse playing, while reverse playing, do reverse caching, add caching of the beginning of range when range end is met.
Display the Transform settings for the VSE in the Statusbar while transforming, not the 3D View ones.
Draw the content text of Text strips in the context area of the strip with a big font(same area where waveforms, or colors are drawn on strips)
Add h264 1080p ffmpeg profile to the Video Editing template ⚙ D7916 Add: h264 1080p ffmpeg profile to the Video Editing template DONE.
While batch changing lock+mute, change the value for the full selection, and not just for the similar strip type. DONE?
MORE COMPLICATED:
Make a design of how to simplify performance enhancements like in the UI: cache, cache to disk, single proxy, multi proxy, auto proxy etc:A complete redesign of the VSE proxy-system is needed - #2 by tintwotin
Copy the key-frame drawing and interaction from the Timeline editor onto the strips.
Add a fixed size proxy option, so all proxies gets scaled to the same X value. Currently mixing 4k and 2k proxies results in huge difference in playback fps of the proxies.
Draw animated color strips as gradients instead of animating them during playback: ⚙ D11580 Sequencer: Do not redraw during playback. Liked by Pablo: BLENDER 3 = FAST | Blender.Today LIVE #156 - YouTube
Surround(Reference: ⚙ D11933 VSE UI: Add Mono, Stereo, 4 Surround, 5.1 Surround and 7.1 Surround Pan Preset Buttons):
UI to display sound position in between surround speakers.
Use degrees instead of magic value.
Support for placing sound strip in LFE(sub) is missing.
Import of multi channel files as multiple mono strips(add multi-channel channel selector), with correctly panned positions added.
A centralized UI place (in ex. Timeline Editor?) to set-up both playback and render Audio Channels settings.
Limit audio export options according to Audio Channels setting. Ex. Ac3 only supports up to 5.1(and not 7.1).
Implement multi-file drag and drop: ⚙ D12159 Fix to enable drag-and-drop multiple files
The Add > Scene menu should have an option to generate a new scene: UV IMPROVEMENTS! - Blender.Today LIVE #185 - YouTube
The Add > Clip menu should have an option to generate a new Movie Clip data block.
The Add > Mask menu should have an option to generate a new Image data block.
In the code of Blender there the words Sequence and Strip are used as synonyms, but in the UI there is a difference, so when grabbing a strip to move it, shouldn’t the text be Strip Slide instead of Sequence Slide.
VERY HARD:
Enable “Copy to Selected” for Text strip fonts: Is it possible to copy text settings? - Blender Stack Exchange Or update the old Extra Actions add-on(easy): operators_extra_actions.py · rBAC
