What's new
Loading and saving presets from the plugins
This feature has been long requested. The plugins' usability was significantly hampered by having to manually tweak all the sliders yourself. No more--you can now take advantage of the wide array of presets that the ntsc-rs community has assembled!

Drag-and-drop support
You can now drag and drop media and presets directly into ntsc-rs to load them, and even install presets by dropping them over the presets manager!
ntsc-rs.dnd.mp4
Command-line interface
You can now use ntsc-rs directly from the command line, allowing you to do things like automate it via shell scripts! See the documentation to get started.

Smoother scaling
You can now select which filtering method to use when rescaling videos in the standalone application. This is especially helpful for scaling videos down to under half their original size, where the default method (while faster) can look rather pixelated. Look at the wires and tree leaves in the video below to see the difference:
ntsc-rs.scale.filter.demo.mp4
Since the new menu takes up more screen real estate, the scale control has been moved to the left pane, just above the effect settings. It's still independent from settings presets.
Persistent settings
While the effect settings were previously saved in the standalone app, the scaling and render settings were not, and had to be manually set every time you used the application. Now they're saved just like the effect settings!
