Reimplement the live clip trimming preview as a popover widget?
Last modified: 2015-10-20 13:30:58 UTC
In the "gtktimeline" branch, the "live trim preview" feature (http://jeff.ecchi.ca/blog/2012/03/07/trim-like-a-professional-hair-stylist/) is broken. Possibly the signal isn't getting fired just because it's blocked by this unrelated traceback when trimming: Traceback (most recent call last):
+ Trace 234625
self._drawKeyframeCurve(cr)
(clipped_rect.x + clipped_rect.width))
self._plot(start, end)
self._createVisibleValues()
self._line_ys.append(self.interpolate_value(low_bound, value,
So the first step is to make the existing feature work. The second step would be to experiment with a gtk popover to hold the trimming preview right over the trimming handle. I think it would an improvement as the eye would stay contextualized (given a reasonably sized popover ;), it would look nice visually, and would have some technical advantages (not swapping pipelines and such from the main viewer), and allow keeping the view of the frame of at the playhead in the viewer at all times.
The old trimming preview feature works again in thiblahute's branch. Changing to enhancement for the 2nd part.
