# ges-launch-1.0
|
|
|
|
**ges-launch-1.0** creates a multimedia
|
|
[timeline](https://phabricator.freedesktop.org/w/gstreamer/gst-editing-services/ges-timeline/)
|
|
and plays it back, or renders it to the specified format.
|
|
|
|
It can load a timeline from an existing project, or create one from the
|
|
specified commands.
|
|
|
|
Updating an existing project can be done through thanks to the
|
|
[GstValidate](http://gstreamer.freedesktop.org/data/doc/gstreamer/head/gst-validate/html/)
|
|
[scenarios](http://gstreamer.freedesktop.org/data/doc/gstreamer/head/gst-validate/html/scenarios.html)
|
|
using the `--set-scenario` argument, if ges-launch-1.0 has been compiled with
|
|
GstValidate support.
|
|
|
|
You can inspect action types with:
|
|
|
|
ges-launch-1.0 --inspect-action-type
|
|
|
|
By default, ges-launch-1.0 is in "playback-mode".

## Define a timeline through the command line
|
|
|
|
The `ges-launch-1.0` tool allows you to simply build a timeline through a dedicated set of commands:
|
|
|
|
### +clip
|
|
|
|
Adds a clip to the timeline.
|
|
|
|
See documentation for the --track-types option to ges-launch-1.0, as it
|
|
will affect the result of this command.
|
|
|
|
#### Examples:
|
|
|
|
ges-launch-1.0 +clip /path/to/media
|
|
|
|
This will simply play the sample from its beginning to its end.
|
|
|
|
ges-launch-1.0 +clip /path/to/media inpoint=4.0
|
|
|
|
Assuming "media" is a 10 second long media sample, this will play the sample
|
|
from the 4th second to the 10th, resulting in a 6-seconds long playback.
|
|
|
|
ges-launch-1.0 +clip /path/to/media inpoint=4.0 duration=2.0 start=4.0
|
|
|
|
Assuming "media" is an audio video sample longer than 6 seconds, this will play
|
|
a black frame and silence for 4 seconds, then the sample from its 4th second to
|
|
its sixth second, resulting in a 6-seconds long playback.
|
|
|
|
ges-launch-1.0 --track-types=audio +clip /path/to/media
|
|
|
|
Assuming "media" is an audio video sample, this will only play the audio of the
|
|
sample in its entirety.
|
|
|
|
ges-launch-1.0 +clip /path/to/media1 layer=1 set-alpha 0.9 +clip /path/to/media2 layer=0
|
|
|
|
Assume media1 and media2 both contain audio and video and last for 10 seconds.
|
|
|
|
This will first add media1 in a new layer of "priority" 1, thus implicitly
|
|
creating a layer of "priority" 0, the start of the clip will be 0 as no clip
|
|
had been added in that layer before.
|
|
|
|
It will then add media2 in the layer of "priority" 0 which was created
|
|
previously, the start of this new clip will also be 0 as no clip has been added
|
|
in this layer before.
|
|
|
|
Both clips will thus overlap on two layers for 10 seconds.
|
|
|
|
The "alpha" property of the second clip will finally be set to a value of 0.9.
|
|
|
|
All this will result in a 10 seconds playback, where media2 is barely visible
|
|
through media1, which is nearly opaque. If alpha was set to 0.5, both clips
|
|
would be equally visible, and if it was set to 0.0, media1 would be invisible
|
|
and media2 completely opaque.
|
|
|
|
#### Mandatory arguments
|
|
|
|
__path|uri:__
|
|
|
|
Specifies the location of the sample to make a clip from.
|
|
|
|
#### Options
|
|
|
|
__inpoint[i]=<inpoint>:__
|
|
|
|
Sets the inpoint of the clip, that is the
|
|
position in the original sample at which the clip will start outputting
|
|
data.
|
|
|
|
It is an error to have an inpoint superior to the actual duration of the original sample.
|
|
|
|
0 by default.
|
|
|
|
|
|
__duration[i]=<duration>:__
|
|
|
|
Sets the duration of the clip, that is the
|
|
duration of the media the clip will output.
|
|
|
|
It is an error to have inpoint + duration be superior to the duration of the
|
|
original sample.
|
|
|
|
The default is the duration of the original sample - the inpoint of the clip.
|
|
|
|
|
|
__start[s]=<start>:__
|
|
|
|
|
|
Sets the start of the clip, that is its position in
|
|
the timeline.
|
|
|
|
If not specified, it will be set to the duration of the layer the clip is added on,
|
|
as the expected default behaviour is to queue clips one after another.
|
|
|
|
|
|
__layer[l]=<layer>:__
|
|
|
|
Sets the layer of the clip. The video stream in
|
|
overlapping clips on different layers will be blended together according
|
|
to their alpha property, starting with the clip on the last layer. An
|
|
example is shown in the EXAMPLES section.
|
|
|
|
If not specified, it will be set to the last layer a clip has been added on, or
|
|
a first layer if no clip has been added yet.
|
|
|
|
|
|
#### Properties
|
|
|
|
##### Video properties
|
|
|
|
These have no effects if there is no video stream in the sample.
|
|
|
|
__alpha:__
|
|
|
|
This is the amount of transparency of the clip, ranging from 0.0
|
|
to 1.0 Clips overlapping on different layers will be composited
|
|
together, unless --disable-mixing has been specified, in the order of
|
|
the layers.
|
|
|
|
|
|
__posx:__
|
|
|
|
This is the x position (offset) of the clip in pixels, relatively
|
|
to the output frame of the timeline.
|
|
|
|
|
|
__posy:__
|
|
|
|
This is the y position (offset) of the clip in pixels, relatively
|
|
to the output frame of the timeline.
|
|
|
|
|
|
__width:__
|
|
|
|
This is the width in pixels that the clip will occupy in the
|
|
final output frame.
|
|
|
|
|
|
__height:__
|
|
|
|
This is the height in pixels that the clip will occupy in the final output frame.
|
|
|
|
|
|
##### Audio properties
|
|
|
|
__volume:__
|
|
|
|
This is the volume that will be set on the audio part of the
|
|
clip, ranging from 0.0 to 10.0, with 1.0 being the default.
|
|
|
|
|
|
__mute:__
|
|
|
|
Set to true to mute the audio of the clip. Default is false.
|
|
|
|
|
|
### +effect
|
|
|
|
#### Mandatory arguments
|
|
|
|
__bin-description:__
|
|
|
|
Specifies the description of a GStreamer a bin, in the gst-launch format.
|
|
|
|
|
|
#### Options
|
|
|
|
Properties can be set on the effect either directly in the bin-description, or
|
|
separately through the set-<property-name> command, which will lookup any
|
|
readable property in any of the children of the bin, and set the provided value
|
|
on it.
|
|
|
|
#### Examples
|
|
|
|
ges-launch-1.0 +clip /path/to/media +effect "agingtv"
|
|
|
|
This will apply the agingtv effect to "media" and play it back.
|
|
|
|
### set-<property-name>
|
|
|
|
Sets the property of an object (for example a clip or an effect). Trying to set
|
|
a property than can't be looked up is considered an error.
|
|
|
|
By default, set-<property-name> will lookup the property on the last added
|
|
object.
|
|
|
|
#### Examples
|
|
|
|
ges-launch-1.0 +clip /path/to/media set-alpha 0.3
|
|
|
|
This will set the alpha property on "media" then play it back, assuming "media"
|
|
contains a video stream.
|
|
|
|
ges-launch-1.0 +clip /path/to/media +effect "agingtv" set-dusts false
|
|
|
|
This will set the "dusts" property of the agingtv to false and play the
|
|
timeline back.
|
|
|
|
### +title
|
|
|
|
Adds a title to the timeline.
|
|
|
|
#### Mandatory arguments
|
|
|
|
__text:__
|
|
|
|
The text to be used as a Title.
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Options
|
|
|
|
### Project-related options
|
|
|
|
__--load[-l]=<path>:__
|
|
|
|
Load project from file. The project be saved again with the --save option.
|

__-s --save=<path>:__
|
|
Save project to file before rendering. It can then be loaded with the --load option
|
|
|
|
__-p --sample-path:__
|
|
If some assets are missing when loading a project file, ges-launch-1.0 will try to
|
|
locate them in this path. It is especially useful when sharing a project.
|
|
|
|
__-r --sample-path-recurse:__
|
|
|
|
Identical to --sample-path, but ges-launch-1.0 will also recurse in the subfolders
|
|
to look for assets.
|
|
|
|
### Rendering options
|
|
|
|
__-o --outputuri=<uri>:__
|
|
|
|
If set, ges-launch-1.0 will render the specified timeline instead
|
|
of playing it back. The default rendering format is ogv, containing
|
|
theora and vorbis.
|
|
|
|
__-f --format=<profile>:__
|
|
|
|
Set an encoding profile on the command line. See ges-launch-1.0 help profile
|
|
for more information.

This will have no effect if no outputuri has been specified.
|
|
|
|
__-e --encoding-profile=<profile-name>:__
|
|
|
|
Set an encoding profile from a preset file. See ges-launch-1.0 help profile

|
|
|
Set the audiosink used for playback.
|
|
|
|
|
|
__-m --mute:__
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
|
|
### Helpful options
|
|
|
|
__--inspect-action-type=<action-type>:__
|
|
|
|

|
|
--set-scenario. Will list all action-types if action-type is empty.
|
|
|
|
|
|
__--list-transitions:__
|
|
|
|
List all valid transition types and exit. See ges-launch-1.0 help transition
