Sequence Editor feature request
Hi, I was showing Blender Sequence Editor's capabilities to a friend and he asked me if I could scale up a video strip so it had more frames than the images loaded (the strip was a JPG sequence), meaning automatic and uniform repetition of frames during the timeline.
I had to tell him that I didn't know if that was possible (what a shame!). I wonder if it can be done or if not, if some of the marvelous coders around could implement such a feature.
Maybe there are some development of the sequence editor currently going on which I'm not aware of, but I think it could be a great help to have a "S" hotkey to stretch or shrink a video strip in the sequence editor (just like Edit Mode for meshes).
Maybe Instinctive-Blender has done some work on this ?
Well, let me know what you think about it.
Cheers.

I haven't worked with the sequence editor for some time (been using Adobe Premiere) I notice in 2.32 that you can add audio to the strip. When I render the sequence- no sound. Is this something that's being worked in or can it now work?

Yes, that's exactly what I mean. It would be great to have it in the sequence editor...do you mean time stretching? if yes, the answer is no.
Teeth: I know what you mean, but the only thing you do with that is repeating the last or first frame of the sequence.
EDITED: Oops, you were talking about "single frame strips".
I was talking about image sequences though...
Cheers.

Whilst we're here discussing the sequence editor, does anyone know a fast way to bring in a sequence of frames into the sequence editor? I've got nearly 2000 frames that I rendered out on Linux, with the naming going sequence1.0001.tga, sequence1.0002.tga, sequence1.0003.tga ....
I know that if you go to the sequence editor and go add->images you get an image select window where you can select multiple frames, but so far the only way I've found to import an image sequence is to shift-rightclick-drag all the images you want to import. This is fine for small numbers of frames, but when you've got 2000 frames like I have, having to manually select 2000 frames becomes a bit of a chore...
Maybe we need a system like Shake, which auto-detects any image sequences, and instead of giving you 2000 individual images to select will instead just write one option in the image select window, eg. sequence1.[0001-2000].tga which imports the whole lot as an image sequence....
Any thoughts?

well would be great, only quite difficult to implement (i think at least). i know some high-end programs doing that, like realviz' "retimer" - it's only purpose is time stretching/compressing. it uses some advanced pixel-motion recognition algorithms for adding in-between frames.. that's all i know.
