This allows one to fix simple errors prior to NLA baking, which might be more convenient than editing the NLA strips. Editing can be disabled in theCue list display optionsto return to the slightly more compact view:

Bugfix release for missed import #15
Date: 2024-05-25
- New simplified bake-to-NLA which should produce better results out-of-the-box.
- After the too-long cues are trimmed down the gap is filled with the
Xcues (silence) - The scene end frame is updated if the sound strip reaches after the last frame of the scene.
- For troubleshoting: starting
blender --debugwill force trace level debugging of the plugin. Enabled console logging where missing before

Bug fix release
- Mapping preview button works correctly also with shape-key Actions
- Baking multiple objects at once correctly alternate between the two track-pairs
Date: 2024-03-30
- Import/Export captured Cues to json file (mainly used by unitests )
- Mapping preview button. Activates the mapped Action on the selected object(s) or all the objects which have mapping.
- A custom frame-range on the mapped Action can be configured. So it is now possible to use pose-sheets and it is no longer necessary to slice individual poses out into individual Actions. Like for example the
overwrite_shape_actionfrom theFaceitplugin. This is also prerequisite for more automated Faceit integration (wip).
- Caputre selection can be now changed directly on the bake dialog.
- Auto-trim too long Cues on the NLA baking. Enabled by default with some reasonable time.
- Several small UI changes and reorganization
- Unittests on Github works for all three platforms

Bugfix release, removed stalled imports
Date: 2023-07-06
- Project renamed to
rhubarb_lipsync_ngas there was nothing left from the original code-base. The versioning was reset as well. - The Action baking somehow works now. But the Strip Placement needs a rework. Especially the strip-ends placing. Baking of the shape keys actions is not implemented yet.
- Captures are now bound to
Sceneand only Mapping-settings are bound to individualObject(s)(typically armature). So one capture can be used for multiple objects and baked at once. - Setting the start frame works as expected.
