Increase VSE Transform Strip Rotation Limits

Currently VSE transform strips can rotate from -360 to +360 degrees. This makes it cumbersome if you want to rotate a video more than 2x in the VSE.

I propose we increase the rotation limit (to infinity?).

Say I wanted to rotate a strip 3x. If rotation were infinite, I could do this with just 2 keyframes. Currently, I have to use at least 4.

You could just use the f-curve Cycles (or loop) modifier, as there may be reasons for limiting this tool.

richardantalik

there is no reason for limiting this tool uses simple sin(x) / cos(x) functions with rotation converted to radians.

Infinity is impossible to implement with keyframes.

we can increase limit to reasonable amount: say +/-360000 (+/- 100 rotations) and/or add speed, direction, initial offset options for infinite rotation

@richardantalik: This is a better solution that using a cycle modifier, as the modifier doesn't allow you to use a bezier ease over more than one period.
