The largest Nonsensical Video Generator update is here!

- Jazzy, which was also added to the downloadable soundtrack.
- New Blog tab added for version information and latest events on Steam.

Quality of Life Improvements
- Addon list filtering in the Addon Management menu.
- Select between Effects, Post-Render Effects, Themes, or All.
- Tooltips now appear over all other elements.
- Addon type displayed next to addon names.
- If an addon already has the type in its name, it will be replaced.
- Workshop uploads are also affected.
- If adding the type to an addon's name causes truncation, it will not be added.
- Action buttons and social buttons merged into one floating column for a cleaner look.
- The Socials window and the Actions graphic in the Content window have been removed.
- Addons from the Workshop now have a "View Workshop" button in their settings.
Bug Fixes and Adjustments
- Fixed NVG freezing when loading addons.
- Default start sound and music will not play at launch if a custom theme is set.
- Ensures that the current custom theme's start sound and music play first.
- Fixed freeze frames in videos after each clip, caused by encoding issues.
- Scrolling in the addons list no longer locks when the mouse exits the window.
- Up and down buttons navigate to the first and last addons if scrolling is out of range.
- More verbose console logging added.
- To view the console log after NVG has closed, add the "-console" launch option.
- Fixed randomsound.lua stock effect bug that occurred if an input file name contained a space.
- Default outro updated to reduce volume and simplify details.
- Sound effect volume normalized, as they were previously too loud.
- Media Player window adjusted to properly fit videos.
- Added a progress bar when playing.
- Fixed themes using old music from previously applied themes.
- Caused by the music counter not resetting when changing to a theme with less music.
