<!-- struct Asset -->
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:


```text
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:

```text
   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`](trait.AssetExt.html), [`glib::object::ObjectExt`](../glib/object/trait.ObjectExt.html)
<!-- trait AssetExt -->
Trait containing all `Asset` methods.

# Implementors

[`Asset`](struct.Asset.html), [`Project`](struct.Project.html)
<!-- impl Asset::fn needs_reload -->
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.
<!-- impl Asset::fn request -->
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`
<!-- impl Asset::fn request_async -->
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:

```text
// 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
<!-- impl Asset::fn request_finish -->
Finalize the request of an async `Asset`
## `res`
The `gio::AsyncResult` from which to get the newly created `Asset`

# Returns

The `Asset` previously requested
<!-- trait AssetExt::fn extract -->
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

<!-- trait AssetExt::fn get_error -->

# Returns

The `glib::Error` of the asset or `None` if
the asset was loaded without issue
<!-- trait AssetExt::fn get_extractable_type -->

<!-- trait AssetExt::fn list_proxies -->

# Returns

The list of proxies `self` has. Note that the default asset to be
used is always the first in that list.
<!-- trait AssetExt::fn set_proxy -->
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.
<!-- trait AssetExt::fn unproxy -->
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.

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

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`.
<!-- trait ClipExt::fn get_layer -->

<!-- trait ClipExt::fn get_top_effects -->
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`.
<!-- trait ClipExt::fn move_to_layer -->
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`

# Returns

`true` if `self` could be moved `false` otherwize
<!-- trait ClipExt::fn set_supported_formats -->
Sets the formats supported by the file.

<!-- trait ClipExt::fn set_top_effect_index -->
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.
<!-- trait ClipExt::fn split -->
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.
<!-- trait ClipExt::fn get_property_layer -->
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.
<!-- trait ClipExt::fn get_property_supported-formats -->
The formats supported by the clip.
<!-- trait ClipExt::fn set_property_supported-formats -->
The formats supported by the clip.
<!-- struct Container -->

<!-- impl Container::fn 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`

grouping
<!-- trait GESContainerExt::fn add -->

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`

# Returns

The list of
timeline element contained in `self`.
<!-- trait GESContainerExt::fn remove -->
Release the `child` from the control of `self`.
## `child`
the `TimelineElement` to release

# Returns

`true` if the `child` was properly released, else `false`.
<!-- trait GESContainerExt::fn ungroup -->

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.
<!-- trait GESContainerExt::fn connect_child_added -->
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.
<!-- trait GESContainerExt::fn connect_child_removed -->
Will be emitted after a child was removed from `container`.
## `element`
the `TimelineElement` that was removed.
<!-- trait GESContainerExt::fn get_property_height -->
The span of priorities which this container occupies.
<!-- enum Edge -->
The edges of an object contain in a `Timeline` or `Track`
<!-- enum Edge::variant EdgeStart -->
Represents the start of an object.
<!-- enum Edge::variant EdgeEnd -->
Represents the end of an object.
<!-- enum Edge::variant EdgeNone -->
Represent the fact we are not workin with any edge of an
 object.
<!-- enum EditMode -->
You can also find more explanation about the behaviour of those modes at:
<ulink url="http://pitivi.org/manual/trimming.html"> trim, ripple and roll`</ulink>`
and <ulink url="http://pitivi.org/manual/usingclips.html">clip management`</ulink>`.
<!-- enum EditMode::variant EditNormal -->
The object is edited the normal way (default).
<!-- enum EditMode::variant EditRipple -->
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.
<!-- enum EditMode::variant EditRoll -->
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.
<!-- enum EditMode::variant EditTrim -->
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.
<!-- enum EditMode::variant EditSlide -->
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.

<!-- trait LayerExt::fn set_priority -->
Sets the layer to the given `priority`. See the documentation of the
priority property for more information.

# Deprecated since 1.16

use `TimelineExt::move_layer` instead. This deprecation means
that you will not need to handle layer priorities at all yourself, GES
will make sure there is never 'gaps' between layer priorities.
## `priority`
the priority to set
<!-- trait LayerExt::fn connect_clip_added -->
Will be emitted after the clip was added to the layer.
## `clip`
the `Clip` that was added.
<!-- trait LayerExt::fn connect_clip_removed -->
Will be emitted after the clip was removed from the layer.
## `clip`

<!-- trait LayerExt::fn set_property_auto-transition -->
Sets whether transitions are added automagically when clips overlap.
<!-- trait LayerExt::fn get_property_priority -->
The priority of the layer in the `Timeline`. 0 is the highest
priority. Conceptually, a `Timeline` is a stack of GESLayers,
and the priority of the layer represents its position in the stack. Two
layers should not have the same priority within a given GESTimeline.

Note that the timeline needs to be commited (with `TimelineExt::commit`)
for the change to be taken into account.

<!-- struct Project -->
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:


```text
 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.

<!-- trait TimelineExt::fn commit -->
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.

This function will wait for any pending state change of the timeline by
calling `gst::ElementExt::get_state` with a `GST_CLOCK_TIME_NONE` timeout, you
should not try to change the state from another thread before this function
has returned.

See `TimelineExt::commit` for more information.

## `is_image`
`true` if `self` is a still image, `false` otherwise
<!-- trait UriClipExt::fn set_mute -->
Sets whether the audio track of this clip is muted or not.
## `mute`
`true` to mute `self` audio track, `false` to unmute it
<!-- trait UriClipExt::fn get_property_is-image -->
Whether this uri clip represents a still image or not. This must be set
before create_track_elements is called.
<!-- trait UriClipExt::fn set_property_is-image -->
Whether this uri clip represents a still image or not. This must be set
before create_track_elements is called.
<!-- trait UriClipExt::fn get_property_mute -->
Whether the sound will be played or not.
<!-- trait UriClipExt::fn set_property_mute -->
Whether the sound will be played or not.
<!-- trait UriClipExt::fn get_property_uri -->
The location of the file/resource to use.
<!-- trait UriClipExt::fn set_property_uri -->
The location of the file/resource to use.
<!-- struct UriClipAsset -->
The `UriClipAsset` is a special `Asset` that lets you handle
the media file to use inside the GStreamer Editing Services. It has APIs that
let you get information about the medias. Also, the tags found in the media file are
set as Metadatas of the Asser.

# Implements

[`UriClipAssetExt`](trait.UriClipAssetExt.html), [`AssetExt`](trait.AssetExt.html), [`glib::object::ObjectExt`](../glib/object/trait.ObjectExt.html)
<!-- trait UriClipAssetExt -->
Trait containing all `UriClipAsset` methods.

# Implementors

[`UriClipAsset`](struct.UriClipAsset.html)
<!-- impl UriClipAsset::fn new -->
Creates a `UriClipAsset` for `uri`

Example of request of a GESUriClipAsset:

```text
// 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
<!-- impl UriClipAsset::fn request_sync -->
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
<!-- trait UriClipAssetExt::fn get_duration -->
Gets duration of the file represented by `self`

# Returns

The duration of `self`
<!-- trait UriClipAssetExt::fn get_info -->
Gets `gst_pbutils::DiscovererInfo` about the file

# Returns

`gst_pbutils::DiscovererInfo` of specified asset
<!-- trait UriClipAssetExt::fn get_stream_assets -->
Get the GESUriSourceAsset `self` containes

# Returns

a
`glib::List` of `UriSourceAsset`
<!-- trait UriClipAssetExt::fn is_image -->
Gets Whether the file represented by `self` is an image or not

# Returns

Whether the file represented by `self` is an image or not
<!-- trait UriClipAssetExt::fn get_property_duration -->
The duration (in nanoseconds) of the media file
<!-- trait UriClipAssetExt::fn set_property_duration -->
The duration (in nanoseconds) of the media file
<!-- struct UriSourceAsset -->
NOTE: You should never request such a `Asset` as they will be created automatically
by `UriClipAsset`-s.
