Week 22 (May 29 - Jun 02)

This week

  • Created retiming tool feature to change speed by inputing number - [108422](https://projects.blender.org/blender/blender/pulls/108422)
  • Tried to finish [PR to remove indexer](https://projects.blender.org/blender/blender/pulls/108059), however I have encountered problem that I will have to research if it is possible to work around. When transcoding media into new file, a timebase is choosen by ffmpeg which makes it impossible to just copy PTS values. This makes it much harder to guarantee perfect match with original stream as far as decoding is concerned. Will have to check whether FPS is main contributing factor to choosen timebase. If it is, then we have determinictic way of getting FPS which will be used for decoding for original stream, and we can apply it to proxy. Then we have to rescale timestamps to new timebase and it should work 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

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.
