I'm really, really happy to find this on reddit, thanks for doing this software! This tool is really usefull to use as reference to draw animations. It's already working fine here, but can I recommend some extra features?

It would be amazing if you could add the ability to rotate or invert videos/gifs, similar to images in Original PureRef.
I haven't experienced any lag, but I think a pause feature would be great, especially if you have +50 videos playing at the same time.
Additionally, it would be fantastic to have total control over the frames, like skipping just one frame or going back 5 frames. You can find more details about this feature on syncsketch.com or in software called Keyframe Pro. In youtube you can skip frame by frame too

These are just some ideas. As I mentioned before, it's already working perfectly. Thank you! Have a great day!

Rotate and invert sound really good! I signed up for syncsketch just now to check them out and they have a nice interface. I really like how it shows the keyframe number and sort of has a snappy feel to scrubbing between them! These are excellent ideas, thank you! Pausing on a frame of a video would be really good too. Ill probably cache the paused frame so it doesn't have to load the whole video to get to it every time too. Do you think the pause option should be in the right click menu on the element as well as inside the edit video thing? If you have any other ideas or even mockups for how icons/colors should look feel free to throw those up here 😎👍

Hey! I'm happy to see that you liked my suggestions. I'm looking forward to it. Regarding the pause option: Yes, I agree. Having one pause button option in "canvas" to reduce lag and another pause button in "edit mode" to control the frame sounds like a good idea.

I also agree with you about syncsketch's clean design for controlling frames. However, if replicating this is a challenge, I recall another website called Sakugabooru. It's a collection of animations, and some people have created extension to add other features, Here As you can see, there's a simpler frame control.

Oh, I have a few more suggestions:

-I can't edit GIFs. So, it would be great if that feature could be added.

-It would also be helpful to have some shortcuts like in PureRef, such as Ctrl + F for maximizing and Ctrl + M for minimizing.

Thank you again! Have a nice day!
