PiTiVi

At Last ! I’ve managed to get rid of the remaining bugs in GnlOperation (the gnonlin effect handler) and now we can also put/move/cut.. use video effects in the Timeline.
I also did a little cleanup in gnonling, and a (failed) attempt at trying to make gnonlin more “threaded”. I’ll have to look at that in 2-3 months when we get some heavier editing going on.
7 days left to check audio minimal editing and encoding and we’ll be ready to freeze it for a release before Xmas.

Misc

Spent most of the weekend in bed because of a flu and a stiff neck. Both have gone, and I’ve got a lot more productive.

So… first post in my blog.

To sum up what I’m involved with, I’m head of project for PiTiVi a non-linear editor (NLE) that uses GStreamer as it’s multimedia framework. This project was started as an “end-of-studies project” at the french IT I study in : EPITECH, but it will be carried on after the end of my studies (which’ll be march 2005, yeah!).

In the past few days we’ve gone through the make install/dist/distcheck procedure for PiTiVi. I think we got most of it working, it’ll take trials on other platforms/configuration to know if it really works.

I’ve also started making a list of the GStreamer plugins we use in the NLE, how “well” we can use them, and what the eventual problems are. The list is here. As I encounter new problems/bugs I’ll update that list.
