Blender 4.4: Sequencer

User Interface

  • Text Strips with word-wrapped or multi-line text can now properly do left/center/right alignment within each line. (PR#126660)
  • Snapping now works with retiming keys. Strips can also be snapped to retiming keys. (PR#129709)

Performance

  • Building proxies for image sequences is faster now. (PR#128752)
  • Preview playback performance of float/HDR content is faster now. (PR#128829)

Other

  • Videos can now be rendered using H.265/HEVC codec. (PR#129119)
  • 10 and 12 bit/channel videos are supported now (PR#129298):
    • When reading 10/12 bit videos, they are read into a floating point image,
    • When rendering, there's an option for 10 or 12 bit color depth for supported codecs (10 bit for H.264, H.265, AV1; 12 bit for H.265, AV1).
  • Proxies for EXR (or other float/HDR format) image strips now work properly, without losing range/precision. Float image proxies are internally saved as EXR files with DWAA compression and 16-bit float data type. (PR#128835)
