Video For Lazies v1.9.0

Release Summary

Video For Lazies 1.9.0 adds a Loop (boomerang) option.

New "Loop (boomerang)" toggle in the Transform & color section, off by default.
When it is on, the export plays the clip forward and then in reverse, so it loops seamlessly when repeated. The exported clip is twice as long as the source, and any kept audio is reversed in the second half so it stays in sync.
It applies to video exports (mp4/webm), not audio-only MP3.
Tip: it works best on short clips, because building the reverse holds the whole clip in memory.

Existing installs (1.1.0 and newer) will be offered this update through the in-app updater.
