  • Fixed some library dependencies not bundled in Linux (broke in v20.10).
  • Fixed Size, Position & Rotate distorting the aspect ratio when image width or height > 16000 (broke in v20.10).

Changes

  • Improved behavior when press enter/return in the current position timecode field.
  • Made it is easier to choose opaque black in the color chooser dialogs.
  • Changed numeric fields in Size, Position & Rotate and Text: Rich to require <kbd>Enter</kbd>, <kbd>Tab</kbd>, or click outside (de-focus) to apply the change. This prevents the filter going to weird or undesired sizes or positions as you enter values.
  • Changed Text: Rich default size and postion to have a 10% margin inside the frame.

New

  • Added a warning dialog when the computer is getting low on available memory.
  • Added Properties > menu > Set Equirectangular....
  • Added a Start Offset time parameter and Apply transform option to the 360: Stabilize video filter.
  • Added a Show Grid option to the 360: Transform video filter as a visual aid.
  • Added a dialog to confirm trying to add or paste filters to Timeline > Output.
  • Added Move Up, Move Down, and Deselect buttons to Filters.
  • Added command line option --QT_SCALE_FACTOR_ROUNDING_POLICY that accepts values: Round, Ceil, Floor, RoundPreferFloor, PassThrough. The default is Round except on Windows where it is RoundPreferFloor, which makes it treat 150% like 100% to reduce the UI text size.
