Testing on 2.91

[tin2tin]

Trying Transform Tools on 2.91:

• Crop seems broken again.

• Interpolation in Transform Strip: None = Fast(maybe this should be set as default value when adding a Transform strip).

• Maybe the first Select and move icon should be a select only icon?

• I wish there was a better crop icon.

• Should the reset options be exposed in the menu? (anything else should be added to the menu?)

• 2.91 will have multithreaded transformations, which have been detected to give a speed up of 3.5%

• There are discussions on moving all transform operations into the strip settings, so at some point the Transform strips may not be necessary.

I saw on the blender roadmap that a "VSE Refactor" was in progress. I think I won't be putting much effort into updating any of my VSE addons until after refactoring of the VSE is complete. See the blender roadmap for more information:

Makes sense. I just wanted to leave a few notes for later.

The refactor is mainly for cleaning up code and pave the way for GPU support in the VSE, however this project: https://developer.blender.org/T78986 also includes a redesign of transform operators: https://developer.blender.org/T78988
Basically they're going to move the transform options into the Stripsidebar(too?).

(The patch to multi-thread transform operations has been committed to the 2.91 beta. Not sure I experience any difference though?)

Just some more notes on the changed transform options in 2.92. Now the patch has been committed. The changes are described here https://developer.blender.org/D8393 and here https://developer.blender.org/rB0277579b2850f0ba097741ca22eb8ae9ccd9bcea
