Sequencer Presets

(Fig. 1a)

The window that appears when you create a new sequence has been redone. I think this is self-explanatory.

When you save a preset, it currently only saves it to the "My Presets" folder.

Node Editing

(Fig. 2a)

This is another way of compositing/applying effects to a clip. Rather than the Adobe-style effect stack, effects are built modularly. It gives the user more flexibility in the kinds of effects they are able to create, and reduces the need for individual plugins. (in its place, node groups can be created)

In the default configuration, the Node Editor should be enabled.

After you have selected a clip in the timeline, add a node by right-clicking on the Node Editor canvas, then hover over "Add".

Let's add a Transform effect by adding two nodes: "Orthographic Matrix" (under Generator) and "Math" (under, uh... Math).

Place the Math node over the line that connects the Video Input with the clip. (Fig. 2b)

Now connect the Ortho and Math nodes by holding Ctrl while the cursor is placed on the Ortho node, then click-dragging in the direction of the Math node. You can use either the left mouse button or the middle button to drag. Once the cursor is placed on the Math node, you will see two fields pop up, both named "Value". You'll want to connect to the bottom field. (Fig. 2c)

Select the Math node. Make sure the Parameter Editor panel is visible, then change the Method from "Add" to "Multiply". (Fig. 2d)

Now click on the Ortho node. You should see the controls for 0.1.x's Transform effect pop up, and it functions the same way (since it affects the footage via the Math node we connected earlier) (Fig. 2e)

For now, you may want to scrub the timeline to see the effects.

Editing Values

The value slider has also been redone. Instead of holding Shift for more precision, this slider now appears.

To decide the precision (x100, x10, x1, ...), you drag up or down while holding Ctrl (as of fd8116a9). Changing the value with the specified precision is done by dragging left or right.
