Refactoring

If you were waiting for the refactoring version, we’re afraid you’ll have to wait a bit longer. We decided to postpone it for the 19.04 release cycle which will give us more time to polish all the edges and add some new nifty features.

We now have a nightly build system so you can try all the latest features;

Among the highlights since the last release;

Added parallel processing feature for render speed improvements;

Added hardware acceleration for proxy clip creation;

Blackmagic Design decklink output is back;

The Speed effect has been reintroduced;

Made keyframe improvements and timeline clip keyframeable GUI.
