Logical architecture / design of OpenShot
Hi,
is there any document, that describes the logical design of Openshot?
Writing a blueprint or something else it would be nice, if I could
use abreviations and associated definitions, so that there is a common
'language' (where it's possible).
Technically Openshot uses python, gtk (for the UI) and mlt etc. But I'm
not a good coder, so this is beyond my possibilities to dig that in deep.
First there's the Instruction Manual, but it describes not the future
the user will see. There are some discriptions, but not in deep and
that's ok.
May be I am missing a index with definitions, some examples:
Clip - video, image (still, sequence), audio in various formats
Clip in pool - CiP
Clip attached to a track - CaT
Effect - (up to now) transforming the CaT (picture or audio) with
different filters(?)
Effect attached to a track, layer, clip - today is it attached to a clip,
other things are on the wishlist
Transitions - special effect concerning (minimum 2 - today only 2) CaT
at neighbouring tracks; or is it a special Track, up to now without
any editing abilities?
Filter - procedures(-plugins ?) for video (f.e. grouped by transformation,
interlacing, (de)noising, sharpness/blur etc.) and audio (highpass,
lowpass, resampling etc.), I think a different word for effect,
Using a plugin-system would be very nice for quality issues (I refer to
those UI in avidemux or wax), so that I could do most things without
different apps. is this technically created with the frei0r-plugins?
Sub-Track - Layers of a Track, containing different Effects in
chronological orders (not yet implemented). Up to now there is
a representation of the actual object/
but there are also some actions
import - to a pool, track and ...
export - part / whole timeline
moving (a group of CaT and other to CaT attached objects)
insert in one Track or effective to all Tracks / Layers
cut a clip OR all clips at a given marker / timeline cursor position
etc. etc.
Would this be usefull for developers, supporters, bugtrackers?
If I could support the team in this way, I'll try
OpenShot is really a userfriendly entrance and very useful to me
leaving the windows world for privat purpose.
Keep on moving
Kind regards
Michel
