v22.09 BETA

What's New and Improved

• Improved support for TGA image but still not with compression.
• Added support for reading WebP Animation.
• Show audio-clips without album art as a checkboard for transparent instead of white.
• Added the GPS Graphic video filter (see its presets).
• Added the gopro2gpx utility to let you export a GPX file from a GoPro video using Properties > menu > Export GPX. This saves the .gpx in the same folder as the video file with the same name but different exension.
• Added Fisheye video filter (see its presets).
• Fixed opening files with a % in their path or name.
• Added snapping to the playhead to Keyframes.
• Added Help > Actions and Shortcuts:
  • Provides a unified action search and shortcut editor.
  • Replaces the old Keyboard Shortcuts... item in the Help menu and takes its keyboard shortcut ?.
  • Searches both action name and shortcut.
  • Press Enter within search to move focus to the list of actions.
  • Press Return/Enter on a selected action to trigger it and close the dialog.
  • Shift, Ctrl, or Alt + Return/Enter on a selected action to trigger it and NOT close the dialog.
  • Double-click an action to trigger it but NOT close the dialog.
  • The dialog is modal so you can leave it open and to the side while working.
  • Press Esc when the dialog has focus to close it.
  • Press F2 when an action is selected to edit its first shortcut.
  • You can Tab out of edit mode to navigate focus to the apply button and press Space to trigger the apply. It is intentional that you cannot assign Tab as a keyboard shortcut to an action.
  • There are some keyboard buttons such as J/K/L that are reserved and cannot be used in a shortcut. You will see an error message when you try to apply it.
  • You can define up to 2 shortcuts per action! You may want to leave the default as well as add your preferred shortcut.
  • A big portion of the UI had to be rewritten to support this. As a result:
    • All panel (hamburger) menus are consistently on the left/first.
    • Panel-specific Options sub-menus were moved to Settings main menu.
    • The keyboard shortcut to switch the player between Source and Project is now P.
    • Various hidden or under-exposed actions now have a menu item somewhere including a new Player main menu.
    • Many translations will be lost.
• Improved support for custom video transitions:
  • There is a folder now in the App Data Directory named transitions where you can store these.
  • All files in the transitions folder are listed in transition Properties, the Mask: From File video filter, and the Slideshow Generator dialog.
  • Added a favorite button in transition Properties and Mask: From File that copies your chosen custom file to the transitions folder.
  • Added a quick preview to transition properties.
• Added the ability to drag-scroll/pan using the middle mouse button (press mouse wheel) to Timeline, Keyframes, and the player when zoomed in.
• Improved the Filters picker:
  • Added translatable keywords to facilitate search. For example, "transform" includes Size, Position & Rotate.
  • Added the English filter name in an untranslatable manner to the keywords so people using a translation can more more easily find things based on proliferic English advice.
  • Added support for a small animated icon. (This is a work-in-progress; only a handful so far, more but not all to be included in the release.)
• Added the alpha Operation, Reverse, and Invert parameters to the Mask: Draw video filter.
• Added Settings > Reset... to reset all settings including hidden ones.
• Upgraded FFmpeg to v5.1.0
• Upgraded AOM AV1 encoder to v3.4.0
• Upgraded libvpx VP8/9 encoder to v1.12.0
• Upgraded VMAF to v2.3.1
