The Assets in the GStreamer Editing Services represent the resources that can be used. You can create assets for any type that implements the Extractable interface, for example GESClips, Formatter, and TrackElement do implement it. This means that assets will represent for example a GESUriClips, BaseEffect etc, and then you can extract objects of those types with the appropriate parameters from the asset using the AssetExt::extract method:

GESAsset *effect_asset;
GESEffect *effect;

// You create an asset for an effect
effect_asset = ges_asset_request (GES_TYPE_EFFECT, "agingtv", NULL);

// And now you can extract an instance of GESEffect from that asset
effect = GES_EFFECT (ges_asset_extract (effect_asset));

In that example, the advantages of having a Asset are that you can know what effects you are working with and let your user know about the avalaible ones, you can add metadata to the Asset through the MetaContainer interface and you have a model for your custom effects. Note that Asset management is making easier thanks to the Project class.

Each asset is represented by a pair of extractable_type and id (string). Actually the extractable_type is the type that implements the Extractable interface, that means that for example for a UriClip, the type that implements the Extractable interface is Clip. The identifier represents different things depending on the extractable_type and you should check the documentation of each type to know what the ID of Asset actually represents for that type. By default, we only have one Asset per type, and the id is the name of the type, but this behaviour is overriden to be more useful. For example, for GESTransitionClips, the ID is the vtype of the transition you will extract from it (ie crossfade, box-wipe-rc etc..) For Effect the ID is the bin-description property of the extracted objects (ie the gst-launch style description of the bin that will be used).

Each and every Asset is cached into GES, and you can query those with the ges_list_assets function. Also the system will automatically register GESAssets for GESFormatters and GESTransitionClips and standard effects (actually not implemented yet) and you can simply query those calling:

   GList *formatter_assets, *tmp;

   //  List all  the transitions
   formatter_assets = ges_list_assets (GES_TYPE_FORMATTER);

   // Print some infos about the formatter GESAsset
   for (tmp = formatter_assets; tmp; tmp = tmp->next) {
     g_print ("Name of the formatter: %s, file extension it produces: %s",
       ges_meta_container_get_string (GES_META_CONTAINER (tmp->data), GES_META_FORMATTER_NAME),
       ges_meta_container_get_string (GES_META_CONTAINER (tmp->data), GES_META_FORMATTER_EXTENSION));
   }

   g_list_free (transition_assets);

You can request the creation of GESAssets using either Asset::request or Asset::request_async. All the GESAssets are cached and thus any asset that has already been created can be requested again without overhead.

Implements

AssetExt, glib::object::ObjectExt

Trait containing all Asset methods.

Implementors

Asset, Project

Sets an asset from the internal cache as needing reload. An asset needs reload in the case where, for example, we were missing a GstPlugin to use it and that plugin has been installed, or, that particular asset content as changed meanwhile (in the case of the usage of proxies).

Once an asset has been set as "needs reload", requesting that asset again will lead to it being re discovered, and reloaded as if it was not in the cache before.

extractable_type

The glib::Type of the object that can be extracted from the asset to be reloaded.

id

The identifier of the asset to mark as needing reload

Returns

true if the asset was in the cache and could be set as needing reload, false otherwise.

Create a Asset in the most simple cases, you should look at the extractable_type documentation to see if that constructor can be called for this particular type

As it is recommanded not to instanciate assets for GESUriClip synchronously, it will not work with this method, but you can instead use the specific UriClipAsset::request_sync method if you really want to.

extractable_type

The glib::Type of the object that can be extracted from the new asset.

id

The Identifier or None

Returns

A reference to the wanted Asset or None

Request a new Asset asyncronously, callback will be called when the materail is ready to be used or if an error occured.

Example of request of a GESAsset async:

// The request callback
static void
asset_loaded_cb (GESAsset * source, GAsyncResult * res, gpointer user_data)
{
  GESAsset *asset;
  GError *error = NULL;

  asset = ges_asset_request_finish (res, &error);
  if (asset) {
   g_print ("The file: %s is usable as a FileSource",
       ges_asset_get_id (asset));
  } else {
   g_print ("The file: %s is *not* usable as a FileSource because: %s",
       ges_asset_get_id (source), error->message);
  }

  gst_object_unref (mfs);
}

// The request:
ges_asset_request_async (GES_TYPE_URI_CLIP, some_uri, NULL,
   (GAsyncReadyCallback) asset_loaded_cb, user_data);

extractable_type

The glib::Type of the object that can be extracted from the new asset. The class must implement the Extractable interface.

id

The Identifier of the asset we want to create. This identifier depends of the extractable, type you want. By default it is the name of the class itself (or None), but for example for a GESEffect, it will be the pipeline description, for a GESUriClip it will be the name of the file, etc... You should refer to the documentation of the Extractable type you want to create a Asset for.

cancellable

optional gio::Cancellable object, None to ignore.

callback

a GAsyncReadyCallback to call when the initialization is finished, Note that the source of the callback will be the Asset, but you need to make sure that the asset is properly loaded using the Asset::request_finish method. This asset can not be used as is.

user_data

The user data to pass when callback is called

Finalize the request of an async Asset

res

The gio::AsyncResult from which to get the newly created Asset

Returns

The Asset previously requested

Extracts a new gobject::Object from asset. The type of the object is defined by the extractable-type of asset, you can check what type will be extracted from asset using AssetExt::get_extractable_type

Returns

A newly created Extractable

Returns

The glib::Error of the asset or None if the asset was loaded without issue

Gets the type of object that can be extracted from self

Returns

the type of object that can be extracted from self

Gets the ID of a Asset

Returns

The ID of self

Returns

The proxy in use for self

Returns

The Asset that is proxied by self

Returns

The list of proxies self has. Note that the default asset to be used is always the first in that list.

A proxying asset is an asset that can substitue the real self. For example if you have a full HD UriClipAsset you might want to set a lower resolution (HD version of the same file) as proxy. Note that when an asset is proxied, calling Asset::request will actually return the proxy asset.

proxy

The Asset that should be used as default proxy for self or None if you want to use the currently set proxy. Note that an asset can proxy one and only one other asset.

Returns

true if proxy has been set on self, false otherwise.

Removes proxy from the list of known proxies for self. If proxy was the current proxy for self, stop using it.

proxy

The Asset to stop considering as a proxy for self

Returns

true if proxy was a known proxy for self, false otherwise.

Implements

TrackElementExt, TimelineElementExt, glib::object::ObjectExt, ExtractableExt

A Clip is a 'natural' object which controls one or more TrackElement(s) in one or more Track(s).

Keeps a reference to the TrackElement(s) it created and sets/updates their properties.

Implements

ClipExt, GESContainerExt, TimelineElementExt, glib::object::ObjectExt, ExtractableExt

Trait containing all Clip methods.

Implementors

Clip

Extracts a TrackElement from asset and adds it to the self. Should only be called in order to add operations to a Clip, ni other cases TrackElement are added automatically when adding the Clip/Asset to a layer.

Takes a reference on track_element.

asset

a Asset with GES_TYPE_TRACK_ELEMENT as extractable_type

Returns

Created TrackElement or NULL if an error happened

Finds the TrackElement controlled by self that is used in track. You may optionally specify a GType to further narrow search criteria.

Note: If many objects match, then the one with the highest priority will be returned.

track

a Track or NULL

type_

a glib::Type indicating the type of track element you are looking for or G_TYPE_NONE if you do not care about the track type.

Returns

The TrackElement used by track, else None. Unref after usage

Finds all the TrackElement controlled by self that is used in track. You may optionally specify a GType to further narrow search criteria.

track

a Track or NULL

track_type

a TrackType indicating the type of tracks in which elements should be searched.

type_

a glib::Type indicating the type of track element you are looking for or G_TYPE_NONE if you do not care about the track type.

Returns

a glib::List of the TrackElement contained in self. The refcount of the objects will be increased. The user will have to unref each TrackElement and free the glib::List.

Get the Layer to which this clip belongs.

Returns

The Layer where this self is being used, or None if it is not used on any layer. The caller should unref it usage.

Get the formats supported by self.

Returns

The formats supported by self.

Gets the index position of an effect.

effect

The BaseEffect we want to get the top index from

Returns

The top index of the effect, -1 if something went wrong.

Get effects applied on self

Returns

a glib::List of the BaseEffect that are applied on self order by ascendant priorities. The refcount of the objects will be increased. The user will have to unref each BaseEffect and free the glib::List.

Moves self to layer. If self is not in any layer, it adds it to layer, else, it removes it from its current layer, and adds it to layer.

layer

the new Layer

Returns

true if self could be moved false otherwize

Sets the formats supported by the file.

supportedformats

the TrackType defining formats supported by self

This is a convenience method that lets you set the index of a top effect.

effect

The BaseEffect to move

newindex

the new index at which to move the effect inside this Clip

Returns

true if effect was successfuly moved, false otherwise.

The function modifies self, and creates another Clip so we have two clips at the end, splitted at the time specified by position, as a position in the timeline (not in the clip to be split). For example, if ges_clip_split is called on a 4-second clip playing from 0:01.00 until 0:05.00, with a split position of 0:02.00, this will result in one clip of 1 second and one clip of 3 seconds, not in two clips of 2 seconds.

The newly created clip will be added to the same layer as self is in. This implies that self must be in a Layer for the operation to be possible.

This method supports clips playing at a different tempo than one second per second. For example, splitting a clip with a Effect 'pitch tempo=1.5' four seconds after it starts, will set the inpoint of the new clip to six seconds after that of the clip to split. For this, the rate-changing property must be registered using EffectClass::register_rate_property; for the 'pitch' plugin, this is already done.

position

a gst::ClockTime representing the timeline position at which to split

Returns

The newly created Clip resulting from the splitting or None if the clip can't be split.

The GESLayer where this clip is being used. If you want to connect to its notify signal you should connect to it with g_signal_connect_after as the signal emission can be stop in the first fase.

The Container base class.

Implements

GESContainerExt, TimelineElementExt, glib::object::ObjectExt, ExtractableExt

Trait containing all Container methods.

Implementors

Clip, Container, Group

Groups the Container-s provided in containers. It creates a subclass of Container, depending on the containers provided in containers. Basically, if all the containers in containers should be contained in a same clip (all the TrackElement they contain have the exact same start/inpoint/duration and are in the same layer), it will create a Clip otherwise a Group will be created

containers

The Container to group, they must all be in a same Timeline

Returns

The Container (subclass) resulting of the grouping

Add the TimelineElement to the container.

child

the TimelineElement

Returns

true on success, false on failure.

Edit self in the different exisiting EditMode modes. In the case of slide, and roll, you need to specify a Edge

layers

The layers you want the edit to happen in, None means that the edition is done in all the GESLayers contained in the current timeline.

new_layer_priority

The priority of the layer self should land in. If the layer you're trying to move the container to doesn't exist, it will be created automatically. -1 means no move.

mode

The EditMode in which the editition will happen.

edge

The Edge the edit should happen on.

position

The position at which to edit self (in nanosecond)

Returns

true if the container as been edited properly, false if an error occured

Get the list of TimelineElement contained in self The user is responsible for unreffing the contained objects and freeing the list.

recursive

Whether to recursively get children in self

Returns

The list of timeline element contained in self.

Release the child from the control of self.

child

the TimelineElement to release

Returns

true if the child was properly released, else false.

Ungroups the TimelineElement contained in this GESContainer, creating new Container containing those TimelineElement apropriately.

recursive

Wether to recursively ungroup self

Returns

The list of Container resulting from the ungrouping operation The user is responsible for unreffing the contained objects and freeing the list.

Will be emitted after a child was added to container. Usually you should connect with g_signal_connect_after as in the first emission stage, the signal emission might get stopped internally.

element

the TimelineElement that was added.

Will be emitted after a child was removed from container.

element

the TimelineElement that was removed.

The span of priorities which this container occupies.

The edges of an object contain in a Timeline or Track

Represents the start of an object.

Represents the end of an object.

Represent the fact we are not workin with any edge of an object.

You can also find more explanation about the behaviour of those modes at: trim, ripple and roll</ulink> and clip management</ulink>.

The object is edited the normal way (default).

The objects are edited in ripple mode. The Ripple mode allows you to modify the beginning/end of a clip and move the neighbours accordingly. This will change the overall timeline duration. In the case of ripple end, the duration of the clip being rippled can't be superior to its max_duration - inpoint otherwise the action won't be executed.

The object is edited in roll mode. The Roll mode allows you to modify the position of an editing point between two clips without modifying the inpoint of the first clip nor the out-point of the second clip. This will not change the overall timeline duration.

The object is edited in trim mode. The Trim mode allows you to modify the in-point/duration of a clip without modifying its position in the timeline.

The object is edited in slide mode. The Slide mode allows you to modify the position of a clip in a timeline without modifying its duration or its in-point, but will modify the duration of the previous clip and in-point of the following clip so does not modify the overall timeline duration.

Implements

EffectExt, BaseEffectExt, TrackElementExt, TimelineElementExt, glib::object::ObjectExt, ExtractableExt

Trait containing all Effect methods.

Implementors

Effect

Creates a new Effect from the description of the bin. It should be possible to determine the type of the effect through the element 'klass' metadata of the GstElements that will be created.

The Project is used to control a set of Asset and is a Asset with GES_TYPE_TIMELINE as extractable_type itself. That means that you can extract Timeline from a project as followed:

 GESProject *project;
 GESTimeline *timeline;

 project = ges_project_new ("file:///path/to/a/valid/project/uri");

 // Here you can connect to the various signal to get more infos about
 // what is happening and recover from errors if possible
 ...

 timeline = ges_asset_extract (GES_ASSET (project));

The Project class offers a higher level API to handle Asset-s. It lets you request new asset, and it informs you about new assets through a set of signals. Also it handles problem such as missing files/missing gst::Element and lets you try to recover from those.

Timeline is the central object for any multimedia timeline.

Contains a list of Layer which users should use to arrange the various clips through time.

The output type is determined by the Track that are set on the Timeline.

To save/load a timeline, you can use the TimelineExt::load_from_uri and TimelineExt::save_to_uri methods to use the default format. If you wish

Note that any change you make in the timeline will not actually be taken into account until you call the TimelineExt::commit method.

Commit all the pending changes of the clips contained in the self.

When changes happen in a timeline, they are not directly executed in the non-linear engine. Call this method once you are done with a set of changes and want it to be executed.

The Timeline::commited signal will be emitted when the (possibly updated) gst::Pipeline is ready to output data again, except if the state of the timeline was gst::State::Ready or gst::State::Null.

Note that all the pending changes will automatically be executed when the timeline goes from gst::State::Ready to gst::State::Paused, which usually is triggered by corresponding state changes in a containing Pipeline.

You should not try to change the state of the timeline, seek it or add tracks to it during a commit operation, that is between a call to this function and after receiving the Timeline::commited signal.

See TimelineExt::commit_sync if you don't want to bother with waiting for the signal.

UriClipAsset

Creates a UriClipAsset for uri

Example of request of a GESUriClipAsset:

// The request callback
static void
filesource_asset_loaded_cb (GESAsset * source, GAsyncResult * res, gpointer user_data)
{
  GError *error = NULL;
  GESUriClipAsset *filesource_asset;

  filesource_asset = GES_URI_CLIP_ASSET (ges_asset_request_finish (res, &error));
  if (filesource_asset) {
   g_print ("The file: %s is usable as a FileSource, it is%s an image and lasts %" GST_TIME_FORMAT,
       ges_asset_get_id (GES_ASSET (filesource_asset))
       ges_uri_clip_asset_is_image (filesource_asset) ? "" : " not",
       GST_TIME_ARGS (ges_uri_clip_asset_get_duration (filesource_asset));
  } else {
   g_print ("The file: %s is *not* usable as a FileSource because: %s",
       ges_asset_get_id (source), error->message);
  }

  gst_object_unref (mfs);
}

// The request:
ges_uri_clip_asset_new (uri, (GAsyncReadyCallback) filesource_asset_loaded_cb, user_data);

uri

The URI of the file for which to create a UriClipAsset

cancellable

optional gio::Cancellable object, None to ignore.

callback

a GAsyncReadyCallback to call when the initialization is finished

user_data

The user data to pass when callback is called

Creates a UriClipAsset for uri syncronously. You should avoid to use it in application, and rather create UriClipAsset asynchronously

uri

The URI of the file for which to create a UriClipAsset. You can also use multi file uris for MultiFileSource.

Returns

A reference to the requested asset or None if an error happened

Gets duration of the file represented by self

Returns

The duration of self

Gets gst_pbutils::DiscovererInfo about the file

Returns

gst_pbutils::DiscovererInfo of specified asset

Get the GESUriSourceAsset self containes

Returns

a glib::List of UriSourceAsset

Gets Whether the file represented by self is an image or not

Returns

Whether the file represented by self is an image or not

The duration (in nanoseconds) of the media file

The duration (in nanoseconds) of the media file

NOTE: You should never request such a Asset as they will be created automatically by UriClipAsset-s.
