Edit Breakdown

Get insight on the complexity of an edit.

Usage (WIP)

  1. In the Sequencer, have a strip represent each shot in the edit.
  2. Open a new Sequencer area in Preview mode, and toggle Display Channels to Color. This is the current sub-optimal way of toggling the thumbnail view on/off, as unfortunately, it is not possible to add new toggles to the sequencer.
  3. Click the Sync button to generate shots and thumbnails.

Installation

  1. Download this repository as ZIP file.
  2. In Blender's Edit > Preferences > Add-ons, click Install and select the ZIP.

Updating
