A Quality dropdown under Video on Setup, --video-quality on the command
line, and "quality" in a project's video settings (written only when it is
not Standard). One table, videoQualities(), holds the ffmpeg settings per
codec; Standard is what every video was written with before.

A project can now be a clip: Setup has a Video switch with a length, a
frame rate and presets that set the canvas too (Instagram story, reel and
feed video, TikTok / YouTube Short, Square loop, Full HD clip). The preview
renders the whole clip, shrunk to a memory budget, and loops it with
play/pause and a scale; Save As... renders it again at full size and pipes
the frames into ffmpeg as .mp4, .mov, .mkv, .webm or .gif, with a progress
window that can cancel. --duration, --fps and --video-preset do the same
from the command line.
Effects learn about time through FrameTime and Effect::renderFrame, which
falls back to render, so nothing that holds still changes. Channel split
now sways, shakes and rolls a tracking bar down the picture in a video; its
motion params are marked forVideo() and hidden in a still project, and a
still renders byte for byte as before. renderFrames starts every frame
from the same seed and renders the still stages ahead of the first moving
one only once. The version moves to 0.6.0.
