/**
 * SECTION:gestrackelement
 * @title: GESTrackElement
 * @short_description: Base Class for the elements of a #GESTrack
 *
 * A #GESTrackElement is a #GESTimelineElement that specifically belongs
 * to a single #GESTrack of its #GESTimelineElement:timeline. Its
 * #GESTimelineElement:start and #GESTimelineElement:duration specify its
 * temporal extent in the track. Specifically, a track element wraps some
 * nleobject, such as an #nlesource or #nleoperation, which can be
 * retrieved with ges_track_element_get_nleobject(), and its
 * #GESTimelineElement:start, #GESTimelineElement:duration,
 * #GESTimelineElement:in-point, #GESTimelineElement:priority and
 * #GESTrackElement:active properties expose the corresponding nleobject
 * properties. When a track element is added to a track, its nleobject is
 * added to the corresponding #nlecomposition that the track wraps.
 *
 * Most users will not have to work directly with track elements since a
 * #GESClip will automatically create track elements for its timeline's
 * tracks and take responsibility for updating them. The only track
 * elements that are not automatically created by clips, but a user is
 * likely to want to create, are #GESEffect-s.

   * If an element has some *internal* *timed* source #GstElement that it

   * #GESTimelineElement:in-point and #GESTimelineElement:max-duration to

   *
   * The default value is determined by the #GESTrackElementClass
   * @default_has_internal_source class property. For most

   * that have a potentially *static* source, such as #GESImageSourceClass
   * and #GESTitleSourceClass. Otherwise, this will usually be %FALSE.

   * For most #GESOperation-s you will likely want to leave this set to
   * %FALSE. The exception may be for an operation that reads some stream
   * data from some private internal source as part of manipulating the
   * input data from the usual linked upstream #GESTrackElement.
   *
   * For example, you may want to set this to %TRUE for a
   * #GES_TRACK_TYPE_VIDEO operation that wraps a #textoverlay that reads
   * from a subtitle file and places its text on top of the received video
   * data. The #GESTimelineElement:in-point of the element would be used
   * to shift the initial seek time on the #textoverlay away from 0, and
   * the #GESTimelineElement:max-duration could be set to reflect the
   * time at which the subtitle file runs out of data.

   * content and manipulate the timing of their data streams (time
   * effects).
