# [GstPipelineStudio](https://dabrain34.pages.freedesktop.org/GstPipelineStudio): Draw your own GStreamer pipeline ...

## Important

Until version 1.0, this software should be considered as **unstable**.
The settings moreover the graph file format might change over the development phase.


## Description

GstPipelineStudio aims to provide a graphical user interface to the GStreamer framework. From a first step in the framework with a simple pipeline to a complex pipeline debugging, the tool provides a friendly interface to add elements to a pipeline and debug it.
