Today the blender.org team announced the official release of version 2.46, codenamed the "Bunny Release". While 2.46 release candidates have been around for a while now, the final product has some exciting changes in the Video Sequencer tool.
These include:
- Strip Blend Modes
- A reworked GUI
- A new consistent input filter
- Three way colour correction
- Proxy file creation and editing support
- Updated Preview
- True NTSC support
- Strip Transform
- Strip Markers
So, quite a lot of quality updates for video editing! Read more about the details here.
