Week 21 (May 22 - May 26)

This week

  • Triaging
  • Bugfixing

  • I have request to still modify retiming feature in 3.6, so will try to do that since it's in bcon3
  • Cleanup on-demand audio device handling patch and set it for review
  • Finish [PR to remove indexer](https://projects.blender.org/blender/blender/pulls/108059) and test it.
  • Work on improved retiming UI

Week 20 (May 16 - May 19)

This week

  • Landed smooth transition feature for retiming
  • Bit of patch review and bugfixing
  • Made [PR to remove indexer](https://projects.blender.org/blender/blender/pulls/108059)
  • Checked equalizer patch and state of FFTW libs (doesn't build right now)
  • Continued working on on-demand audio device handling - looking for some elegant solution to check if thread id running, but delayed device closing otherwise works well.

Week 18 (May 01 - May 05)

This week

  • Worked on speed ramp feature. I have tried few algorithms(derivative function, numerical differentiation, bezier curve) to make sound and video in sync, but I have failed. I am pretty sure, that the algorithm is correct. To investigate further I will have to check whether this could be caused by incorrect interpolation in audaspace code.
  • Investigated possibility of not starting sound playback when Blender starts. This seems to be possible, will have to check with other developers on whether this approach worked correctly.
  • One day was national holiday.

Next week

  • Triaging

Week 17 (Apr 24 - Apr 28)

This week

  • Triaging
  • Updated weekly report script

Next week

  • Continue working on speed ramp feature
  • Investigate possibility of not starting sound playback when Blender starts
  • If I finish retiming ramp, I can start on freeze frame feature or animation retiming.

Week 14 (Apr 03 - Apr 07)

This week

Week 8 (Feb 20 - Feb 24)

This week

  • Committed first retiming patch, did dit of back and forth around implication of incomplete feature, so patch was updated to use speed factor for sound strips still.
  • Updated sequencer page on gitea with links to bug reports
  • Worked on tool to pars gitea activities page to aid with making weekly reports

Next week

  • Triaging, bugfixing

Commits:

Week 7 (Feb 13 - Feb 17)

This week

  • Triaging

Next week

  • Main focus will be retiming tool
  • Bugfixing
  • Add convinience links to sequencer label on gitea
  • Write quick tool for weekly reports, probably won't be super precise as with phabricator, but some automation would be good.

Week 6 (Feb 6 - Feb 10)

This week

  • Worked on feature to preserve strip proportions when changing scene framerate, So far I have working version, but precision is lost when framerate is decreased and increased. Perhaps a solution could be to store strip duration and offsets in seconds, but only internally, will have to experiment with this approach.
  • Got familiarized with Gitea and new workflows.

Next week

  • Triaging

Week 5 (Jan 30 - Feb 03)

This week

  • Triaging

Next week

  • Will work on feature to preserve strip proportions when changing scene framerate. This includes handling animation and copying strips. This was a request from Hjalti.
  • Will try to start review of retiming sound handling
