* The Assets in the GStreamer Editing Services represent the resources * A #GESAsset in the GStreamer Editing Services represents a resources
* that can be used. You can create assets for any type that implements the #GESExtractable * that can be used. In particular, any class that implements the
* interface, for example #GESClips, #GESFormatter, and #GESTrackElement do implement it. * #GESExtractable interface may have some associated assets with a
* This means that assets will represent for example a #GESUriClips, #GESBaseEffect etc, * corresponding #GESAsset:extractable-type, from which its objects can be
* and then you can extract objects of those types with the appropriate parameters from the asset * extracted using ges_asset_extract(). Some examples would be
* using the #ges_asset_extract method: * #GESClip, #GESFormatter and #GESTrackElement.
* *
* |[ * All assets that are created within GES are stored in a cache; one per
* each #GESAsset:id and #GESAsset:extractable-type pair. These assets can
* be fetched, and initialized if they do not yet exist in the cache,
* using ges_asset_request().

* In that example, the advantages of having a #GESAsset are that you can know what effects * The advantage of using assets, rather than simply creating the object
* you are working with and let your user know about the avalaible ones, you can add metadata * directly, is that the currently loaded resources can be listed with
* to the #GESAsset through the #GESMetaContainer interface and you have a model for your * ges_list_assets() and displayed to an end user. For example, to show
* custom effects. Note that #GESAsset management is making easier thanks to the #GESProject class. * which media files have been loaded, and a standard list of effects. In
* fact, the GES library already creates assets for #GESTransitionClip and
* #GESFormatter, which you can use to list all the available transition
* types and supported formats.
* *
* Each asset is represented by a pair of @extractable_type and @id (string). Actually the @extractable_type * The other advantage is that #GESAsset implements #GESMetaContainer, so
* is the type that implements the #GESExtractable interface, that means that for example for a #GESUriClip, * metadata can be set on the asset, with some subclasses automatically
* the type that implements the #GESExtractable interface is #GESClip. * creating this metadata on initiation.
* 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 #GESAsset actually represents for that type. By default,
* we only have one #GESAsset 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 #GESEffect 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 #GESAsset is cached into GES, and you can query those with the #ges_list_assets function. * For example, to display information about the supported formats, you

* You can request the creation of #GESAssets using either ges_asset_request() or * ## ID
* ges_asset_request_async(). All the #GESAssets are cached and thus any asset that has already *
* been created can be requested again without overhead. * Each asset is uniquely defined in the cache by its
* #GESAsset:extractable-type and #GESAsset:id. Depending on the
* #GESAsset:extractable-type, the #GESAsset:id can be used to parametrise
* the creation of the object upon extraction. By default, a class that
* implements #GESExtractable will only have a single associated asset,
* with an #GESAsset:id set to the type name of its objects. However, this
* is overwritten by some implementations, which allow a class to have
* multiple associated assets. For example, for #GESTransitionClip the
* #GESAsset:id will be a nickname of the #GESTransitionClip:vtype. You
* should check the documentation for each extractable type to see if they
* differ from the default.
*
* Moreover, each #GESAsset:extractable-type may also associate itself
* with a specific asset subclass. In such cases, when their asset is
* requested, an asset of this subclass will be returned instead.
*
* ## Managing
*
* You can use a #GESProject to easily manage the assets of a
* #GESTimeline.
*
* ## Proxies
*
* Some assets can (temporarily) act as the #GESAsset:proxy of another
* asset. When the original asset is requested from the cache, the proxy
* will be returned in its place. This can be useful if, say, you want
* to substitute a #GESUriClipAsset corresponding to a high resolution
* media file with the asset of a lower resolution stand in.
*
* An asset may even have several proxies, the first of which will act as
* its default and be returned on requests, but the others will be ordered
* to take its place once it is removed. You can add a proxy to an asset,
* or set its default, using ges_asset_set_proxy(), and you can remove
* them with ges_asset_unproxy().
