Monthly Montage: August 2024
Introducing titles, JKL keyboard shortcuts
Hope you had a great summer - the cast & crew of Sequence has been working hard and playing hard all summer and wanted to give you an update as we head into the next few months.
Introducing Titles in Sequence
We recently released a huge new feature allowing you to finally create basic titles and graphics right within Sequence. We even made a cool teaser trailer using them and this vlog speaking with the developer of titles, Adam:
Clip Anchors & Multi-select Progress
All summer, Hunter has been working on the building blocks to add multi-select operations and copy & paste to the timeline. We've already shipped improvements to visualizing clip attachments, and are following up fast with support for multi-selection in the timeline.
From here, we'll start to tackle other common features like marquee selection, drag to duplicate, and cut/copy/paste!
Keyboard Navigation in the Timeline
We've been slowly adding more keyboard-driven functionality to the timeline all summer. Now, in addition to scrolling the timeline and navigating the playhead between edit points, we're introducing Clip Traversal using the WASD keys. Check out some cool things you can do with it!
Coming Soon...
Another project we've been working on all summer isn't a part of the editor at all... It's called Workspaces, and it's the collaborative hub that will unite all your work in Sequence.
Workspaces allow you and your team members to have access to all the same projects, which can quickly be seen at a glance in various views like the progress tracking kanban board view above.
From there, all the collaborators on a workspace can use the project overview to keep track of the latest screenings & exports, manage the project media, and more. We're super excited to finish implementing the first version of workspaces to share with you!
More from the Studio
In an effort to embody Building-in-Public and better hold ourselves accountable to progress, we've decided to start sharing more videos on our YouTube that we make internally at Sequence. So if you're craving more Sequence content, seeing how we use the app ourselves, or seeing how we're thinking about the user experience of Sequence, check out our "Behind-the-Timeline" playlist on YouTube.
That's a wrap for this month's update, we hope to see you in the timeline soon!
Cheers,
~ The Cast & Crew of Sequence ~
