5. API draft
|
|
|
|
The goal of this proposal is to find a simple way to handle effects through an
|
|
API which would allow developers to handle any use-case
|
|
|
|
1. Basic ideas
|
|
----------------
|
|
|
|
* Effects are actually descendant of GESTrackOperation
|
|
|
|
* You can add effects on any clip or layer
|
|
|
|
* You can add effects between several clips and control them as a unique effect.
|
|
|
|
* Effects are configurable and those could change during time
|
|
|
|
* We should be able to handle the gnome-video-effects standard. We should also offer
|
|
a system to be able to handle any other effect system.
|
|
|
|
* We can implement complexe effects. It means effects that are more
|
|
than adding GstElement-s to the timeline. It can also mean effects
|
|
that are both: video and audio at the same time
|
|
|
|
2. Problems
|
|
----------
|
|
* We should be able to handle list of available effects on the system at
|
|
runtime.
|
|
|
|
* We should be able to configure effects through an API in GES and
|
|
not directly configuring the corresponding GstElement properties.
|
|
|
|
* We should also expose the GstElement-s contained in an effect so
|
|
it is possible for people to control their properties as they wish.
|
|
|
|
* We should be able to implement and handle complexe effects directly in GES
|
|
|
|
* We should be able to configure effects in the time -> Keyframes without
|
|
duplicating code from GStreamer
|
|
|
|
|
|
3. Propositions to solve those problems
|
|
---------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
A. The registry => Still to design
|
|
|
|
We could implement a GESRegistry which would actually
|
|
retrieve elements (effects) from the GSTRegistry and any other mean
|
|
such as gnome-video-effects to let us get all the effects that are present
|
|
on the system....
|
|
This way the developers could have the list of all the effects
|
|
that are installed on the system pretty easily.
|
|
|
|
B. Effects configurability
|
|
|
|
The idea to be able to configure effects through a simple API in GES would
|
|
be to add an API in GESTrackObject to access the gst-object properties that
|
|
user would like to configure.
|
|
We would also have a method to set those properties easily
|
|
|
|
We should also find a way to handle that in thecase of systems such as gnome-effects
|
|
|
|
C. Keyframes
|
|
We may want to handle this use-case directly in GES and for any kind of
|
|
time related configuration? FIXME
|
|
=> Special specifications for that?
|
|
|
|
4. Use-cases
|
|
-----------
|
|
|
|
UC-1. The user wants to add an effect to an entire clip => GESTimelineObject new API
|
|
|
|
UC-2. The developer wants to allow his users to configure effects => New
|
|
GESTrackOperation API
|
|
|
|
UC-3. The user wants to add an effect on a special portion of a clip, we should
|
|
allow him to configure that thanks to a system of keyframes. FIXME
|
|
|
|
UC-4. We want to implement an effect which isn't only composed by a bin, but is more
|
|
complexe than that (ex: "effect '24'") => we have the GESTrackOperation
|
|
which is the base class (abstract) for this kind of implementation. This class should
|
|
implement vmethods to get/set configurable properties.
|
|
|
|
UC-5. A developer wants to implement effect which handle music and video at the same
|
|
time, Would the solution be to implement a GESTimelineEffect to handle this
|
|
special usecase? FIXME
|
|
|
|
UC-6. The developers wants to configure each elements of an effect the way he wants
|
|
with a full control over it.
|
|
|
|
UC-7. Developers want to expose all effects present on the system to the end-user
|
|
|
|
5. API draft

D - The GESTimelineEffect API:
|
|
|
|
The GESTimelineEffect basically doesn't have anything else but what GESTimelineObject has.
|
|
|
|
-> Usecases: The user wants to control multiple effects in sync. The user wants to add
|
|
an effect to the whole timeline. The user wants to had an effect to a
|
|
segment of the timeline without caring about what clip it is applied on.
|
|
|
|
=================
|
|
TODO GESRegistry API:
|
|
This should be a singleton since we don't want an app to instanciate more
|
|
than one registry. It should be able to get effects from various sources.
|
|
We should also make sure any custom effect is detected.
