Raw Blame History

A Asset in the GStreamer Editing Services represents a resources that can be used. In particular, any class that implements the Extractable interface may have some associated assets with a corresponding Asset:extractable-type, from which its objects can be extracted using AssetExt::extract. Some examples would be Clip, Formatter and TrackElement.

All assets that are created within GES are stored in a cache; one per each Asset:id and Asset:extractable-type pair. These assets can be fetched, and initialized if they do not yet exist in the cache, using Asset::request.

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));

The advantage of using assets, rather than simply creating the object directly, is that the currently loaded resources can be listed with ges_list_assets and displayed to an end user. For example, to show which media files have been loaded, and a standard list of effects. In fact, the GES library already creates assets for TransitionClip and Formatter, which you can use to list all the available transition types and supported formats.

The other advantage is that Asset implements MetaContainer, so metadata can be set on the asset, with some subclasses automatically creating this metadata on initiation.

For example, to display information about the supported formats, you could do the following:

   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);

ID

Each asset is uniquely defined in the cache by its Asset:extractable-type and Asset:id. Depending on the Asset:extractable-type, the Asset:id can be used to parametrise the creation of the object upon extraction. By default, a class that implements Extractable will only have a single associated asset, with an Asset: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 TransitionClip the Asset:id will be a nickname of the TransitionClip:vtype. You should check the documentation for each extractable type to see if they differ from the default.

Moreover, each Asset: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 Project to easily manage the assets of a Timeline.

Proxies

Some assets can (temporarily) act as the Asset: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 UriClipAsset 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 AssetExt::set_proxy, and you can remove them with AssetExt::unproxy.

Implements

AssetExt, [trait@glib::object::ObjectExt]

Trait containing all Asset methods.

Implementors

Asset, Project

Indicate that an existing Asset in the cache should be reloaded upon the next request. This can be used when some condition has changed, which may require that an existing asset should be updated. For example, if an external resource has changed or now become available.

Note, the asset is not immediately changed, but will only actually reload on the next call to Asset::request or Asset::request_async.

`extractable_type`

The Asset:extractable-type of the asset that needs reloading

`id`

The Asset:id of the asset asset that needs reloading

Returns

true if the specified asset exists in the cache and could be marked for reloading.

Returns an asset with the given properties. If such an asset already exists in the cache (it has been previously created in GES), then a reference to the existing asset is returned. Otherwise, a newly created asset is returned, and also added to the cache.

If the requested asset has been loaded with an error, then error is set, if given, and None will be returned instead.

Note that the given id may not be exactly the Asset:id that is set on the returned asset. For instance, it may be adjusted into a standard format. Or, if a Extractable type does not have its extraction parametrised, as is the case by default, then the given id may be ignored entirely and the Asset:id set to some standard, in which case a None id can be given.

Similarly, the given extractable_type may not be exactly the Asset:extractable-type that is set on the returned asset. Instead, the actual extractable type may correspond to a subclass of the given extractable_type, depending on the given id.

Moreover, depending on the given extractable_type, the returned asset may belong to a subclass of Asset.

Finally, if the requested asset has a Asset:proxy, then the proxy that is found at the end of the chain of proxies is returned (a proxy's proxy will take its place, and so on, unless it has no proxy).

Some asset subclasses only support asynchronous construction of its assets, such as UriClip. For such assets this method will fail, and you should use Asset::request_async instead. In the case of UriClip, you can use UriClipAsset::request_sync if you only want to wait for the request to finish.

`extractable_type`

The Asset:extractable-type of the asset

`id`

The Asset:id of the asset

Returns

A reference to the requested asset, or None if an error occurred.

Requests an asset with the given properties asynchronously (see Asset::request). When the asset has been initialized or fetched from the cache, the given callback function will be called. The asset can then be retrieved in the callback using the Asset::request_finish method on the given gio::AsyncResult.

Note that the source object passed to the callback will be the Asset corresponding to the request, but it may not have loaded correctly and therefore can not be used as is. Instead, Asset::request_finish should be used to fetch a usable asset, or indicate that an error occurred in the asset's creation.

Note that the callback will be called in the glib::MainLoop running under the same glib::MainContext that ges_init was called in. So, if you wish the callback to be invoked outside the default glib::MainContext, you can call glib::MainContext::push_thread_default in a new thread before calling ges_init.

Example of an asynchronous asset request:

// 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 GESUriClip",
       ges_asset_get_id (asset));
  } else {
   g_print ("The file: %s is *not* usable as a GESUriClip because: %s",
       ges_asset_get_id (source), error->message);
  }

  gst_object_unref (asset);
}

// The request:
ges_asset_request_async (GES_TYPE_URI_CLIP, some_uri, NULL,
   (GAsyncReadyCallback) asset_loaded_cb, user_data);

`extractable_type`

The Asset:extractable-type of the asset

`id`

The Asset:id of the asset

`cancellable`

An object to allow cancellation of the asset request, or None to ignore

`callback`

A function to call when the initialization is finished

`user_data`

Data to be passed to callback

Fetches an asset requested by Asset::request_async, which finalises the request.

`res`

The task result to fetch the asset from

Returns

The requested asset, or None if an error occurred.

Extracts a new Asset:extractable-type object from the asset. The Asset:id of the asset may determine the properties and state of the newly created object.

Returns

A newly created object, or None if an error occurred.

Retrieve the error that was set on the asset when it was loaded.

Returns

The error set on asset, or None if no error occurred when asset was loaded.

Gets the Asset:extractable-type of the asset.

Returns

The extractable type of self.

Gets the Asset:id of the asset.

Returns

The ID of self.

Gets the default Asset:proxy of the asset.

Returns

The default proxy of self.

Gets the Asset:proxy-target of the asset.

Note that the proxy target may have loaded with an error, so you should call AssetExt::get_error on the returned target.

Returns

The asset that self is a proxy of.

Get all the proxies that the asset has. The first item of the list will be the default Asset:proxy. The second will be the proxy that is 'next in line' to be default, and so on.

Returns

The list of proxies that self has.

Sets the Asset:proxy for the asset.

If proxy is among the existing proxies of the asset (see AssetExt::list_proxies) it will be moved to become the default proxy. Otherwise, if proxy is not None, it will be added to the list of proxies, as the new default. The previous default proxy will become 'next in line' for if the new one is removed, and so on. As such, this will not actually remove the previous default proxy (use AssetExt::unproxy for that).

Note that an asset can only act as a proxy for one other asset.

As a special case, if proxy is None, then this method will actually remove all proxies from the asset.

`proxy`

A new default proxy for self

Returns

true if proxy was successfully set as the default for self.

Removes the proxy from the available list of proxies for the asset. If the given proxy is the default proxy of the list, then the next proxy in the available list (see AssetExt::list_proxies) will become the default. If there are no other proxies, then the asset will no longer have a default Asset:proxy.

`proxy`

An existing proxy of self

Returns

true if proxy was successfully removed from self's proxy list.

The Extractable object type that can be extracted from the asset.

The ID of the asset. This should be unique amongst all assets with the same Asset:extractable-type. Depending on the associated Extractable implementation, this id may convey some information about the glib::object::Object that should be extracted. Note that, as such, the ID will have an expected format, and you can not choose this value arbitrarily. By default, this will be set to the type name of the Asset:extractable-type, but you should check the documentation of the extractable type to see whether they differ from the default behaviour.

The default proxy for this asset, or None if it has no proxy. A proxy will act as a substitute for the original asset when the original is requested (see Asset::request).

Setting this property will not usually remove the existing proxy, but will replace it as the default (see AssetExt::set_proxy).

The default proxy for this asset, or None if it has no proxy. A proxy will act as a substitute for the original asset when the original is requested (see Asset::request).

Setting this property will not usually remove the existing proxy, but will replace it as the default (see AssetExt::set_proxy).

The asset that this asset is a proxy for, or None if it is not a proxy for another asset.

Note that even if this asset is acting as a proxy for another asset, but this asset is not the default Asset:proxy, then proxy-target will still point to this other asset. So you should check the Asset:proxy property of target-proxy before assuming it is the current default proxy for the target.

Note that the glib::object::Object::notify for this property is emitted after the Asset:proxy glib::object::Object::notify for the corresponding (if any) asset it is now the proxy of/no longer the proxy of.

A BaseEffect is some operation that applies an effect to the data it receives.

Time Effects

Some operations will change the timing of the stream data they receive in some way. In particular, the gst::Element that they wrap could alter the times of the segment they receive in a gst::EventType::Segment event, or the times of a seek they receive in a gst::EventType::Seek event. Such operations would be considered time effects since they translate the times they receive on their source to different times at their sink, and vis versa. This introduces two sets of time coordinates for the event: (internal) sink coordinates and (internal) source coordinates, where segment times are translated from the sink coordinates to the source coordinates, and seek times are translated from the source coordinates to the sink coordinates.

If you use such an effect in GES, you will need to inform GES of the properties that control the timing with BaseEffectExt::register_time_property, and the effect's timing behaviour using BaseEffectExt::set_time_translation_funcs.

Note that a time effect should not have its TrackElement:has-internal-source set to true.

In addition, note that GES only fully supports time effects whose mapping from the source to sink coordinates (those applied to seeks) obeys:

Maps the time 0 to 0. So initial time-shifting effects are excluded.
Is monotonically increasing. So reversing effects, and effects that jump backwards in the stream are excluded.
Can handle a reasonable gst::ClockTime, relative to the project. So this would exclude a time effect with an extremely large speed-up that would cause the converted gst::ClockTime seeks to overflow.
Is 'continuously reversible'. This essentially means that for every time in the sink coordinates, we can, to 'good enough' accuracy, calculate the corresponding time in the source coordinates. Moreover, this should correspond to how segment times are translated from sink to source.
Only depends on the registered time properties, rather than the state of the gst::Element or the data it receives. This would exclude, say, an effect that would speedup if there is more red in the image it receives.

Note that a constant-rate-change effect that is not extremely fast or slow would satisfy these conditions. For such effects, you may wish to use EffectClass::register_rate_property.

This is an Abstract Base Class, you cannot instantiate it.

Trait containing all BaseEffect methods.

Implementors

BaseEffect, Effect

Get whether the effect is considered a time effect or not. An effect with registered time properties or set translation functions is considered a time effect.

Feature: v1_18

Returns

true if self is considered a time effect.

Register a child property of the effect as a property that, when set, can change the timing of its input data. The child property should be specified as in TimelineElementExt::lookup_child.

You should also set the corresponding time translation using BaseEffectExt::set_time_translation_funcs.

Note that self must not be part of a clip, nor can it have TrackElement:has-internal-source set to true.

Feature: v1_18

`child_property_name`

The name of the child property to register as a time property

Returns

true if the child property was found and newly registered.

Set the time translation query functions for the time effect. If an effect is a time effect, it will have two sets of coordinates: one at its sink and one at its source. The given functions should be able to translate between these two sets of coordinates. More specifically, source_to_sink_func should emulate how the corresponding gst::Element would translate the gst::Segment time field, and sink_to_source_func should emulate how the corresponding gst::Element would translate the seek query start and stop values, as used in gst::ElementExt::seek. As such, sink_to_source_func should act as an approximate reverse of source_to_sink_func.

Note, these functions will be passed a table of time properties, as registered in BaseEffectExt::register_time_property, and their values. The functions should emulate what the translation would be if the time properties were set to the given values. They should not use the currently set values.

Note that self must not be part of a clip, nor can it have TrackElement:has-internal-source set to true.

Feature: v1_18

`source_to_sink_func`

The function to use for querying how a time is translated from the source coordinates to the sink coordinates of self

`sink_to_source_func`

The function to use for querying how a time is translated from the sink coordinates to the source coordinates of self

`user_data`

Data to pass to both source_to_sink_func and sink_to_source_func

`destroy`

Method to call to destroy user_data, or None

Returns

true if the translation functions were set.

Clip-s are the core objects of a Layer. Each clip may exist in a single layer but may control several TrackElement-s that span several Track-s. A clip will ensure that all its children share the same TimelineElement:start and TimelineElement:duration in their tracks, which will match the TimelineElement:start and TimelineElement:duration of the clip itself. Therefore, changing the timing of the clip will change the timing of the children, and a change in the timing of a child will change the timing of the clip and subsequently all its siblings. As such, a clip can be treated as a singular object in its layer.

For most uses of a Timeline, it is often sufficient to only interact with Clip-s directly, which will take care of creating and organising the elements of the timeline's tracks.

Core Children

In more detail, clips will usually have some core TrackElement children, which are created by the clip when it is added to a layer in a timeline. The type and form of these core children will depend on the clip's subclass. You can use TrackElementExt::is_core to determine whether a track element is considered such a core track element. Note, if a core track element is part of a clip, it will always be treated as a core child of the clip. You can connect to the Container::child-added signal to be notified of their creation.

When a child is added to a clip, the timeline will select its tracks using Timeline::select-tracks-for-object. Note that it may be the case that the child will still have no set TrackElement:track after this process. For example, if the timeline does not have a track of the corresponding Track:track-type. A clip can safely contain such children, which may have their track set later, although they will play no functioning role in the timeline in the meantime.

If a clip may create track elements with various TrackElement:track-type(s), such as a UriClip, but you only want it to create a subset of these types, you should set the Clip:supported-formats of the clip to the subset of types. This should be done before adding the clip to a layer.

If a clip will produce several core elements of the same TrackElement:track-type, you should connect to the timeline's Timeline::select-tracks-for-object signal to coordinate which tracks each element should land in. Note, no two core children within a clip can share the same Track, so you should not select the same track for two separate core children. Provided you stick to this rule, it is still safe to select several tracks for the same core child, the core child will be copied into the additional tracks. You can manually add the child to more tracks later using ClipExt::add_child_to_track. If you do not wish to use a core child, you can always select no track.

The TimelineElement:in-point of the clip will control the TimelineElement:in-point of its core children to be the same value if their TrackElement:has-internal-source is set to true.

The TimelineElement:max-duration of the clip is the minimum TimelineElement:max-duration of its core children. If you set its value to anything other than its current value, this will also set the TimelineElement:max-duration of all its core children to the same value if their TrackElement:has-internal-source is set to true. As a special case, whilst a clip does not yet have any core children, its TimelineElement:max-duration may be set to indicate what its value will be once they are created.

Effects

Some subclasses (SourceClip and BaseEffectClip) may also allow their objects to have additional non-core BaseEffect-s elements as children. These are additional effects that are applied to the output data of the core elements. They can be added to the clip using ClipExt::add_top_effect, which will take care of adding the effect to the timeline's tracks. The new effect will be placed between the clip's core track elements and its other effects. As such, the newly added effect will be applied to any source data before the other existing effects. You can change the ordering of effects using ClipExt::set_top_effect_index.

Tracks are selected for top effects in the same way as core children. If you add a top effect to a clip before it is part of a timeline, and later add the clip to a timeline, the track selection for the top effects will occur just after the track selection for the core children. If you add a top effect to a clip that is already part of a timeline, the track selection will occur immediately. Since a top effect must be applied on top of a core child, if you use Timeline::select-tracks-for-object, you should ensure that the added effects are destined for a Track that already contains a core child.

In addition, if the core child in the track is not TrackElement:active, then neither can any of its effects be TrackElement:active. Therefore, if a core child is made in-active, all of the additional effects in the same track will also become in-active. Similarly, if an effect is set to be active, then the core child will also become active, but other effects will be left alone. Finally, if an active effect is added to the track of an in-active core child, it will become in-active as well. Note, in contrast, setting a core child to be active, or an effect to be in-active will not change the other children in the same track.

Time Effects

Some effects also change the timing of their data (see BaseEffect for what counts as a time effect). Note that a BaseEffectClip will refuse time effects, but a Source will allow them.

When added to a clip, time effects may adjust the timing of other children in the same track. Similarly, when changing the order of effects, making them (in)-active, setting their time property values or removing time effects. These can cause the Clip:duration-limit to change in value. However, if such an operation would ever cause the TimelineElement:duration to shrink such that a clip's Source is totally overlapped in the timeline, the operation would be prevented. Note that the same can happen when adding non-time effects with a finite TimelineElement:max-duration.

Therefore, when working with time effects, you should -- more so than usual -- not assume that setting the properties of the clip's children will succeed. In particular, you should use TimelineElementExt::set_child_property_full when setting the time properties.

If you wish to preserve the internal duration of a source in a clip during these time effect operations, you can do something like the following.

void
do_time_effect_change (GESClip * clip)
{
  GList *tmp, *children;
  GESTrackElement *source;
  GstClockTime source_outpoint;
  GstClockTime new_end;
  GError *error = NULL;

  // choose some active source in a track to preserve the internal
  // duration of
  source = ges_clip_get_track_element (clip, NULL, GES_TYPE_SOURCE);

  // note its current internal end time
  source_outpoint = ges_clip_get_internal_time_from_timeline_time (
        clip, source, GES_TIMELINE_ELEMENT_END (clip), NULL);

  // handle invalid out-point

  // stop the children's control sources from clamping when their
  // out-point changes with a change in the time effects
  children = ges_container_get_children (GES_CONTAINER (clip), FALSE);

  for (tmp = children; tmp; tmp = tmp->next)
    ges_track_element_set_auto_clamp_control_source (tmp->data, FALSE);

  // add time effect, or set their children properties, or move them around
  ...
  // user can make sure that if a time effect changes one source, we should
  // also change the time effect for another source. E.g. if
  // "GstVideorate::rate" is set to 2.0, we also set "GstPitch::rate" to
  // 2.0

  // Note the duration of the clip may have already changed if the
  // duration-limit of the clip dropped below its current value

  new_end = ges_clip_get_timeline_time_from_internal_time (
        clip, source, source_outpoint, &error);
  // handle error

  if (!ges_timeline_elemnet_edit_full (GES_TIMELINE_ELEMENT (clip),
        -1, GES_EDIT_MODE_TRIM, GES_EDGE_END, new_end, &error))
    // handle error

  for (tmp = children; tmp; tmp = tmp->next)
    ges_track_element_set_auto_clamp_control_source (tmp->data, TRUE);

  g_list_free_full (children, gst_object_unref);
  gst_object_unref (source);
}

Implements

ClipExt, GESContainerExt, TimelineElementExt, [trait@glib::object::ObjectExt], ExtractableExt, TimelineElementExtManual

Trait containing all Clip methods.

Implementors

Clip, OperationClip

Extracts a TrackElement from an asset and adds it to the clip. This can be used to add effects that derive from the asset to the clip, but this method is not intended to be used to create the core elements of the clip.

`asset`

An asset with GES_TYPE_TRACK_ELEMENT as its Asset:extractable-type

Returns

The newly created element, or None if an error occurred.

Adds the track element child of the clip to a specific track.

If the given child is already in another track, this will create a copy of the child, add it to the clip, and add this copy to the track.

You should only call this whilst a clip is part of a Timeline, and for tracks that are in the same timeline.

This method is an alternative to using the Timeline::select-tracks-for-object signal, but can be used to complement it when, say, you wish to copy a clip's children from one track into a new one.

When the child is a core child, it must be added to a track that does not already contain another core child of the same clip. If it is not a core child (an additional effect), then it must be added to a track that already contains one of the core children of the same clip.

This method can also fail if the adding the track element to the track would break a configuration rule of the corresponding Timeline, such as causing three sources to overlap at a single time, or causing a source to completely overlap another in the same track.

Feature: v1_18

`child`

A child of self

`track`

The track to add child to

Returns

The element that was added to track, either child or a copy of child, or None if the element could not be added.

Add a top effect to a clip at the given index.

Unlike using GESContainerExt::add, this allows you to set the index in advance. It will also check that no error occurred during the track selection for the effect.

Note, only subclasses of ClipClass that have GES_CLIP_CLASS_CAN_ADD_EFFECTS set to true (such as SourceClip and BaseEffectClip) can have additional top effects added.

Note, if the effect is a time effect, this may be refused if the clip would not be able to adapt itself once the effect is added.

Feature: v1_18

`effect`

A top effect to add

`index`

The index to add effect at, or -1 to add at the highest

Returns

true if effect was successfully added to self at index.

Finds an element controlled by the clip. If track is given, then only the track elements in track are searched for. If type_ is given, then this function searches for a track element of the given type_.

Note, if multiple track elements in the clip match the given criteria, this will return the element amongst them with the highest TimelineElement:priority (numerically, the smallest). See ClipExt::find_track_elements if you wish to find all such elements.

`track`

The track to search in, or None to search in all tracks

`type_`

The type of track element to search for, or G_TYPE_NONE to match any type

Returns

The element controlled by self, in track, and of the given type_, or None if no such element could be found.

Finds the TrackElement-s controlled by the clip that match the given criteria. If track is given as None and track_type is given as TrackType::Unknown, then the search will match all elements in any track, including those with no track, and of any TrackElement:track-type. Otherwise, if track is not None, but track_type is TrackType::Unknown, then only the track elements in track are searched for. Otherwise, if track_type is not TrackType::Unknown, but track is None, then only the track elements whose TrackElement:track-type matches track_type are searched for. Otherwise, when both are given, the track elements that match either criteria are searched for. Therefore, if you wish to only find elements in a specific track, you should give the track as track, but you should not give the track's Track:track-type as track_type because this would also select elements from other tracks of the same type.

You may also give type_ to further restrict the search to track elements of the given type_.

`track`

The track to search in, or None to search in all tracks

`track_type`

The track-type of the track element to search for, or TrackType::Unknown to match any track type

`type_`

The type of track element to search for, or G_TYPE_NONE to match any type

Returns

A list of all the TrackElement-s controlled by self, in track or of the given track_type, and of the given type_.

Gets the Clip:duration-limit of the clip.

Feature: v1_18

Returns

The duration-limit of self.

Convert the timeline time to an internal source time of the child. This will take any time effects placed on the clip into account (see BaseEffect for what time effects are supported, and how to declare them in GES).

When timeline_time is above the TimelineElement:start of self, this will return the internal time at which the content that appears at timeline_time in the output of the timeline is created in child. For example, if timeline_time corresponds to the current seek position, this would let you know which part of a media file is being read.

This will be done assuming the clip has an indefinite end, so the internal time may be beyond the current out-point of the child, or even its TimelineElement:max-duration.

If, instead, timeline_time is below the current TimelineElement:start of self, this will return what you would need to set the TimelineElement:in-point of child to if you set the TimelineElement:start of self to timeline_time and wanted to keep the content of child currently found at the current TimelineElement:start of self at the same timeline position. If this would be negative, the conversion fails. This is useful for determining what TimelineElement:in-point would result from a EditMode::Trim to timeline_time.

Note that whilst a clip has no time effects, this second return is equivalent to finding the internal time at which the content that appears at timeline_time in the timeline can be found in child if it had indefinite extent in both directions. However, with non-linear time effects this second return will be more distinct.

In either case, the returned time would be appropriate to use for the TimelineElement:in-point or TimelineElement:max-duration of the child.

See ClipExt::get_timeline_time_from_internal_time, which performs the reverse.

Feature: v1_18

`child`

An TrackElement:active child of self with a TrackElement:track

`timeline_time`

A time in the timeline time coordinates

Returns

The time in the internal coordinates of child corresponding to timeline_time, or GST_CLOCK_TIME_NONE if the conversion could not be performed.

Gets the Clip:layer of the clip.

Returns

The layer self is in, or None if self is not in any layer.

Gets the Clip:supported-formats of the clip.

Returns

The TrackType-s supported by self.

Convert the internal source time from the child to a timeline time. This will take any time effects placed on the clip into account (see BaseEffect for what time effects are supported, and how to declare them in GES).

When internal_time is above the TimelineElement:in-point of child, this will return the timeline time at which the internal content found at internal_time appears in the output of the timeline's track. For example, this would let you know where in the timeline a particular scene in a media file would appear.

This will be done assuming the clip has an indefinite end, so the timeline time may be beyond the end of the clip, or even breaking its Clip:duration-limit.

If, instead, internal_time is below the current TimelineElement:in-point of child, this will return what you would need to set the TimelineElement:start of self to if you set the TimelineElement:in-point of child to internal_time and wanted to keep the content of child currently found at the current TimelineElement:start of self at the same timeline position. If this would be negative, the conversion fails. This is useful for determining what position to use in a EditMode::Trim if you wish to trim to a specific point in the internal content, such as a particular scene in a media file.

Note that whilst a clip has no time effects, this second return is equivalent to finding the timeline time at which the content of child at internal_time would be found in the timeline if it had indefinite extent in both directions. However, with non-linear time effects this second return will be more distinct.

In either case, the returned time would be appropriate to use in TimelineElementExt::edit for EditMode::Trim, and similar, if you wish to use a particular internal point as a reference. For example, you could choose to end a clip at a certain internal 'out-point', similar to the TimelineElement:in-point, by translating the desired end time into the timeline coordinates, and using this position to trim the end of a clip.

See ClipExt::get_internal_time_from_timeline_time, which performs the reverse, or ClipExt::get_timeline_time_from_source_frame which does the same conversion, but using frame numbers.

Feature: v1_18

`child`

An TrackElement:active child of self with a TrackElement:track

`internal_time`

A time in the internal time coordinates of child

Returns

The time in the timeline coordinates corresponding to internal_time, or GST_CLOCK_TIME_NONE if the conversion could not be performed.

Convert the source frame number to a timeline time. This acts the same as ClipExt::get_timeline_time_from_internal_time using the core children of the clip and using the frame number to specify the internal position, rather than a timestamp.

The returned timeline time can be used to seek or edit to a specific frame.

Note that you can get the frame timestamp of a particular clip asset with ClipAsset::get_frame_time.

Feature: v1_18

`frame_number`

The frame number to get the corresponding timestamp of in the timeline coordinates

Returns

The timestamp corresponding to frame_number in the core children of self, in the timeline coordinates, or GST_CLOCK_TIME_NONE if the conversion could not be performed.

Gets the internal index of an effect in the clip. The index of effects in a clip will run from 0 to n-1, where n is the total number of effects. If two effects share the same TrackElement:track, the effect with the numerically lower index will be applied to the source data after the other effect, i.e. output data will always flow from a higher index effect to a lower index effect.

`effect`

The effect we want to get the index of

Returns

The index of effect in self, or -1 if something went wrong.

Gets the BaseEffect-s that have been added to the clip. The returned list is ordered by their internal index in the clip. See ClipExt::get_top_effect_index.

Returns

A list of all BaseEffect-s that have been added to self.

See ClipExt::move_to_layer_full, which also gives an error.

`layer`

The new layer

Returns

true if self was successfully moved to layer.

Moves a clip to a new layer. If the clip already exists in a layer, it is first removed from its current layer before being added to the new layer.

Feature: v1_18

`layer`

The new layer

Returns

true if self was successfully moved to layer.

Remove a top effect from the clip.

Note, if the effect is a time effect, this may be refused if the clip would not be able to adapt itself once the effect is removed.

Feature: v1_18

`effect`

The top effect to remove

Returns

true if effect was successfully added to self at index.

Sets the Clip:supported-formats of the clip. This should normally only be called by subclasses, which should be responsible for updating its value, rather than the user.

`supportedformats`

The TrackType-s supported by self

See ClipExt::set_top_effect_index_full, which also gives an error.

`effect`

An effect within self to move

`newindex`

The index for effect in self

Returns

true if effect was successfully moved to newindex.

Set the index of an effect within the clip. See ClipExt::get_top_effect_index. The new index must be an existing index of the clip. The effect is moved to the new index, and the other effects may be shifted in index accordingly to otherwise maintain the ordering.

Feature: v1_18

`effect`

An effect within self to move

`newindex`

The index for effect in self

Returns

true if effect was successfully moved to newindex.

See ClipExt::split_full, which also gives an error.

`position`

The timeline position at which to perform the split

Returns

The newly created clip resulting from the splitting self, or None if self can't be split.

Splits a clip at the given timeline position into two clips. The clip must already have a Clip:layer.

The original clip's TimelineElement:duration is reduced such that its end point matches the split position. Then a new clip is created in the same layer, whose TimelineElement:start matches the split position and TimelineElement:duration will be set such that its end point matches the old end point of the original clip. Thus, the two clips together will occupy the same positions in the timeline as the original clip did.

The children of the new clip will be new copies of the original clip's children, so it will share the same sources and use the same operations.

The new clip will also have its TimelineElement:in-point set so that any internal data will appear in the timeline at the same time. Thus, when the timeline is played, the playback of data should appear the same. This may be complicated by any additional Effect-s that have been placed on the original clip that depend on the playback time or change the data consumption rate of sources. This method will attempt to translate these effects such that the playback appears the same. In such complex situations, you may get a better result if you place the clip in a separate sub Project, which only contains this clip (and its effects), and in the original layer create two neighbouring UriClip-s that reference this sub-project, but at a different TimelineElement:in-point.

Feature: v1_18

`position`

The timeline position at which to perform the split, between the start and end of the clip

Returns

The newly created clip resulting from the splitting self, or None if self can't be split.

The maximum TimelineElement:duration that can be currently set for the clip, taking into account the TimelineElement:in-point, TimelineElement:max-duration, TrackElement:active, and TrackElement:track properties of its children, as well as any time effects. If there is no limit, this will be set to GST_CLOCK_TIME_NONE.

Note that whilst a clip has no children in any tracks, the limit will be unknown, and similarly set to GST_CLOCK_TIME_NONE.

If the duration-limit would ever go below the current TimelineElement:duration of the clip due to a change in the above variables, its TimelineElement:duration will be set to the new limit.

Feature: v1_18

The layer this clip lies in.

If you want to connect to this property's glib::object::Object::notify signal, you should connect to it with g_signal_connect_after since the signal emission may be stopped internally.

The TrackType-s that the clip supports, which it can create TrackElement-s for. Note that this can be a combination of TrackType flags to indicate support for several TrackElement:track-type elements.

A Container is a timeline element that controls other TimelineElement-s, which are its children. In particular, it is responsible for maintaining the relative TimelineElement:start and TimelineElement:duration times of its children. Therefore, if a container is temporally adjusted or moved to a new layer, it may accordingly adjust and move its children. Similarly, a change in one of its children may prompt the parent to correspondingly change its siblings.

This is an Abstract Base Class, you cannot instantiate it.

Implements

GESContainerExt, TimelineElementExt, [trait@glib::object::ObjectExt], ExtractableExt, TimelineElementExtManual

Trait containing all Container methods.

Implementors

Clip, Container, Group

Groups the containers into a single container by merging them. The containers must all belong to the same TimelineElement:timeline.

If the elements are all Clip-s then this method will attempt to combine them all into a single Clip. This should succeed if they: share the same TimelineElement:start, TimelineElement:duration and TimelineElement:in-point; exist in the same layer; and all of the sources share the same Asset. If this fails, or one of the elements is not a Clip, this method will try to create a Group instead.

`containers`

The Container-s to group

Returns

The container created by merging containers, or None if they could not be merged into a single container.

Adds a timeline element to the container. The element will now be a child of the container (and the container will be the TimelineElement:parent of the added element), which means that it is now controlled by the container. This may change the properties of the child or the container, depending on the subclass.

Additionally, the children properties of the newly added element will be shared with the container, meaning they can also be read and set using TimelineElementExt::get_child_property and TimelineElementExt::set_child_property on the container.

`child`

The element to add as a child

Returns

true if child was successfully added to self.

Edits the container within its timeline.

Deprecated since 1.18

use TimelineElementExt::edit instead.

`layers`

A whitelist of layers where the edit can be performed, None allows all layers in the timeline

`new_layer_priority`

The priority/index of the layer self should be moved to. -1 means no move

`mode`

The edit mode

`edge`

The edge of self where the edit should occur

`position`

The edit position: a new location for the edge of self (in nanoseconds)

Returns

true if the edit of self completed, false on failure.

Get the list of timeline elements contained in the container. If recursive is true, and the container contains other containers as children, then their children will be added to the list, in addition to themselves, and so on.

`recursive`

Whether to recursively get children in self

Returns

The list of TimelineElement-s contained in self.

Removes a timeline element from the container. The element will no longer be controlled by the container.

`child`

The child to remove

Returns

true if child was successfully removed from self.

Ungroups the container by splitting it into several containers containing various children of the original. The rules for how the container splits depends on the subclass. A Group will simply split into its children. A Clip will split into one Clip per TrackType it overlaps with (so an audio-video clip will split into an audio clip and a video clip), where each clip contains all the TrackElement-s from the original clip with a matching TrackElement:track-type.

If recursive is true, and the container contains other containers as children, then they will also be ungrouped, and so on.

`recursive`

Whether to recursively ungroup self

Returns

The list of new Container-s created from the splitting of self.

Will be emitted after a child is added to the container. Usually, you should connect with g_signal_connect_after since the signal may be stopped internally.

`element`

The child that was added

Will be emitted after a child is removed from the container.

`element`

The child that was removed

The span of the container's children's TimelineElement:priority values, which is the number of integers that lie between (inclusive) the minimum and maximum priorities found amongst the container's children (maximum - minimum + 1).

The edges of an object contain in a Timeline or Track

Represents the start of an object.

Represents the end of an object.

Represent the fact we are not working with any edge of an object.

When a single timeline element is edited within its timeline at some position, using TimelineElementExt::edit, depending on the edit mode, its TimelineElement:start, TimelineElement:duration or TimelineElement:in-point will be adjusted accordingly. In addition, any clips may change Clip:layer.

Each edit can be broken down into a combination of three basic edits:

MOVE: This moves the start of the element to the edit position.
START-TRIM: This cuts or grows the start of the element, whilst maintaining the time at which its internal content appears in the timeline data output. If the element is made shorter, the data that appeared at the edit position will still appear in the timeline at the same time. If the element is made longer, the data that appeared at the previous start of the element will still appear in the timeline at the same time.
END-TRIM: Similar to START-TRIM, but the end of the element is cut or grown.

In particular, when editing a Clip:

MOVE: This will set the TimelineElement:start of the clip to the edit position.
START-TRIM: This will set the TimelineElement:start of the clip to the edit position. To keep the end time the same, the TimelineElement:duration of the clip will be adjusted in the opposite direction. In addition, the TimelineElement:in-point of the clip will be shifted such that the content that appeared at the new or previous start time, whichever is latest, still appears at the same timeline time. For example, if a frame appeared at the start of the clip, and the start of the clip is reduced, the in-point of the clip will also reduce such that the frame will appear later within the clip, but at the same timeline position.
END-TRIM: This will set the TimelineElement:duration of the clip such that its end time will match the edit position.

When editing a Group:

MOVE: This will set the Group:start of the clip to the edit position by shifting all of its children by the same amount. So each child will maintain their relative positions.
START-TRIM: If the group is made shorter, this will START-TRIM any clips under the group that start after the edit position to the same edit position. If the group is made longer, this will START-TRIM any clip under the group whose start matches the start of the group to the same edit position.
END-TRIM: If the group is made shorter, this will END-TRIM any clips under the group that end after the edit position to the same edit position. If the group is made longer, this will END-TRIM any clip under the group whose end matches the end of the group to the same edit position.

When editing a TrackElement, if it has a Clip parent, this will be edited instead. Otherwise it is edited in the same way as a Clip.

The layer priority of a Group is the lowest layer priority of any Clip underneath it. When a group is edited to a new layer priority, it will shift all clips underneath it by the same amount, such that their relative layers stay the same.

If the Timeline has a Timeline:snapping-distance, then snapping may occur for some of the edges of the main edited element:

MOVE: The start or end edge of any Source under the element may be snapped.
START-TRIM: The start edge of a Source whose start edge touches the start edge of the element may snap.
END-TRIM: The end edge of a Source whose end edge touches the end edge of the element may snap.

These edges may snap with either the start or end edge of any other Source in the timeline that is not also being moved by the element, including those in different layers, if they are within the Timeline:snapping-distance. During an edit, only up to one snap can occur. This will shift the edit position such that the snapped edges will touch once the edit has completed.

Note that snapping can cause an edit to fail where it would have otherwise succeeded because it may push the edit position such that the edit would result in an unsupported timeline configuration. Similarly, snapping can cause an edit to succeed where it would have otherwise failed.

For example, in EditMode::Ripple acting on Edge::None, the main element is the MOVED toplevel of the edited element. Any source under the main MOVED toplevel may have its start or end edge snapped. Note, these sources cannot snap with each other. The edit may also push other elements, but any sources under these elements cannot snap, nor can they be snapped with. If a snap does occur, the MOVE of the toplevel and all other elements pushed by the ripple will be shifted by the same amount such that the snapped edges will touch.

You can also find more explanation about the behaviour of those modes at: trim, ripple and roll and clip management.

The element is edited the normal way (default). If acting on the element as a whole (Edge::None), this will MOVE the element by MOVING its toplevel. When acting on the start of the element (Edge::Start), this will only MOVE the element, but not its toplevel parent. This can allow you to move a Clip or Group to a new start time or layer within its container group, without effecting other members of the group. When acting on the end of the element (Edge::End), this will END-TRIM the element, leaving its toplevel unchanged.

The element is edited in ripple mode: moving itself as well as later elements, keeping their relative times. This edits the element the same as EditMode::Normal. In addition, if acting on the element as a whole, or the start of the element, any toplevel element in the same timeline (including different layers) whose start time is later than the current start time of the MOVED element will also be MOVED by the same shift as the edited element. If acting on the end of the element, any toplevel element whose start time is later than the current end time of the edited element will also be MOVED by the same shift as the change in the end of the edited element. These additional elements will also be shifted by the same shift in layers as the edited element.

The element is edited in roll mode: swapping its content for its neighbour's, or vis versa, in the timeline output. This edits the element the same as EditMode::Trim. In addition, any neighbours are also TRIMMED at their opposite edge to the same timeline position. When acting on the start of the element, a neighbour is any earlier element in the timeline whose end time matches the current start time of the edited element. When acting on the end of the element, a neighbour is any later element in the timeline whose start time matches the current start time of the edited element. In addition, a neighbour have a Source at its end/start edge that shares a track with a Source at the start/end edge of the edited element. Basically, a neighbour is an element that can be extended, or cut, to have its content replace, or be replaced by, the content of the edited element. Acting on the element as a whole (Edge::None) is not defined. The element can not shift layers under this mode.

The element is edited in trim mode. When acting on the start of the element, this will START-TRIM it. When acting on the end of the element, this will END-TRIM it. Acting on the element as a whole (Edge::None) is not defined.

The element is edited in slide mode (not yet implemented): moving the element replacing or consuming content on each end. When acting on the element as a whole, this will MOVE the element, and TRIM any neighbours on either side. A neighbour is defined in the same way as in EditMode::Roll, but they may be on either side of the edited elements. Elements at the end with be START-TRIMMED to the new end position of the edited element. Elements at the start will be END-TRIMMED to the new start position of the edited element. Acting on the start or end of the element (Edge::Start and Edge::End) is not defined. The element can not shift layers under this mode.

Currently we only support effects with N sinkpads and one single srcpad. Apart from gesaudiomixer and gescompositor which can be used as effects and where sinkpads will be requested as needed based on the timeline topology GES will always request at most one sinkpad per effect (when required).

Note: GES always adds converters (audioconvert ! audioresample ! audioconvert for audio effects and videoconvert for video effects) to make it simpler for end users.

Implements

EffectExt, BaseEffectExt, TrackElementExt, TimelineElementExt, [trait@glib::object::ObjectExt], ExtractableExt, TimelineElementExtManual

Trait containing all Effect methods.

Implementors

Effect

Creates a new Effect from the description of the bin. It should be possible to determine the type of the effect through the element 'klass' metadata of the GstElements that will be created. In that corner case, you should use: Asset::request (GES_TYPE_EFFECT, "audio your ! bin ! description", NULL); and extract that asset to be in full control.

`bin_description`

The gst-launch like bin description of the effect

Returns

a newly created Effect, or None if something went wrong.

The description of the effect bin with a gst-launch-style pipeline description.

Example: "videobalance saturation=1.5 hue=+0.5"

The description of the effect bin with a gst-launch-style pipeline description.

Example: "videobalance saturation=1.5 hue=+0.5"

A glib::object::Object that implements the Extractable interface can be extracted from a Asset using AssetExt::extract.

Each extractable type will have its own way of interpreting the Asset:id of an asset (or, if it is associated with a specific subclass of Asset, the asset subclass may handle the interpretation of the Asset:id). By default, the requested asset Asset:id will be ignored by a Extractable and will be set to the type name of the extractable instead. Also by default, when the requested asset is extracted, the returned object will simply be a newly created default object of that extractable type. You should check the documentation for each extractable type to see if they differ from the default.

After the object is extracted, it will have a reference to the asset it came from, which you can retrieve using Extractable::get_asset.

Implements

ExtractableExt, [trait@glib::object::ObjectExt]

Trait containing all Extractable methods.

Implementors

BaseEffect, BaseTransitionClip, Clip, Container, Effect, Extractable, Group, Layer, OperationClip, TimelineElement, Timeline, TrackElement, TransitionClip, UriClip

Get the asset that has been set on the extractable object.

Returns

The asset set on self, or None if no asset has been set.

Gets the Asset:id of some associated asset. It may be the case that the object has no set asset, or even that such an asset does not yet exist in the GES cache. Instead, this will return the asset Asset:id that is compatible with the current state of the object, as determined by the Extractable implementer. If it was indeed extracted from an asset, this should return the same as its corresponding asset Asset:id.

Returns

The Asset:id of some associated Asset that is compatible with self's current state.

Sets the asset for this extractable object.

When an object is extracted from an asset using AssetExt::extract its asset will be automatically set. Note that many classes that implement Extractable will automatically create their objects using assets when you call their new methods. However, you can use this method to associate an object with a compatible asset if it was created by other means and does not yet have an asset. Or, for some implementations of Extractable, you can use this to change the asset of the given extractable object, which will lead to a change in its state to match the new asset Asset:id.

`asset`

The asset to set

Returns

true if asset could be successfully set on self.

A Group controls one or more Container-s (usually Clip-s, but it can also control other Group-s). Its children must share the same Timeline, but can otherwise lie in separate Layer-s and have different timings.

To initialise a group, you may want to use Container::group, and similarly use GESContainerExt::ungroup to dispose of it.

A group will maintain the relative TimelineElement:start times of its children, as well as their relative layer Layer:priority. Therefore, if one of its children has its TimelineElement:start set, all other children will have their TimelineElement:start shifted by the same amount. Similarly, if one of its children moves to a new layer, the other children will also change layers to maintain the difference in their layer priorities. For example, if a child moves from a layer with Layer:priority 1 to a layer with priority 3, then another child that was in a layer with priority 0 will move to the layer with priority 2.

The Group:start of a group refers to the earliest start time of its children. If the group's Group:start is set, all the children will be shifted equally such that the earliest start time will match the set value. The Group:duration of a group is the difference between the earliest start time and latest end time of its children. If the group's Group:duration is increased, the children whose end time matches the end of the group will be extended accordingly. If it is decreased, then any child whose end time exceeds the new end time will also have their duration decreased accordingly.

A group may span several layers, but for methods such as TimelineElementExt::get_layer_priority and TimelineElementExt::edit a group is considered to have a layer priority that is the highest Layer:priority (numerically, the smallest) of all the layers it spans.

Implements

GroupExt, GESContainerExt, TimelineElementExt, [trait@glib::object::ObjectExt], ExtractableExt, TimelineElementExtManual

Trait containing all Group methods.

Implementors

Group

Created a new empty group. You may wish to use Container::group instead, which can return a different Container subclass if possible.

Returns

The new empty group.

An overwrite of the TimelineElement:duration property. For a Group, this is the difference between the earliest TimelineElement:start time and the latest end time (given by TimelineElement:start + TimelineElement:duration) amongst its children.

An overwrite of the TimelineElement:in-point property. This has no meaning for a group and should not be set.

An overwrite of the TimelineElement:max-duration property. This has no meaning for a group and should not be set.

An overwrite of the TimelineElement:priority property. Setting TimelineElement priorities is deprecated as all priority management is now done by GES itself.

An overwrite of the TimelineElement:start property. For a Group, this is the earliest TimelineElement:start time amongst its children.

Layer-s are responsible for collecting and ordering Clip-s.

A layer within a timeline will have an associated priority, corresponding to their index within the timeline. A layer with the index/priority 0 will have the highest priority and the layer with the largest index will have the lowest priority (the order of priorities, in this sense, is the reverse of the numerical ordering of the indices). TimelineExt::move_layer should be used if you wish to change how layers are prioritised in a timeline.

Layers with higher priorities will have their content priorities over content from lower priority layers, similar to how layers are used in image editing. For example, if two separate layers both display video content, then the layer with the higher priority will have its images shown first. The other layer will only have its image shown if the higher priority layer has no content at the given playtime, or is transparent in some way. Audio content in separate layers will simply play in addition.

When a layer is added to a Timeline, if this property is left as false, but the timeline's Timeline:auto-transition is true, it will be set to true as well.

The priority of the layer in the Timeline. 0 is the highest priority. Conceptually, a timeline is a stack of layers, 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 committed (with TimelineExt::commit) for the change to be taken into account.

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.

A Pipeline can take an audio-video Timeline and conveniently link its Track-s to an internal playsink element, for preview/playback, and an internal encodebin element, for rendering. You can switch between these modes using GESPipelineExt::set_mode.

You can choose the specific audio and video sinks used for previewing the timeline by setting the Pipeline:audio-sink and Pipeline:video-sink properties.

You can set the encoding and save location used in rendering by calling GESPipelineExt::set_render_settings.

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:

 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.

Subprojects

In order to add a subproject, the only thing to do is to add the subproject to the main project:

ges_project_add_asset (project, GES_ASSET (subproject));

then the subproject will be serialized in the project files. To use the subproject in a timeline, you should use a UriClip with the same subproject URI.

When loading a project with subproject, subprojects URIs will be temporary writable local files. If you want to edit the subproject timeline, you should retrieve the subproject from the parent project asset list and extract the timeline with AssetExt::extract and save it at the same temporary location.

Timeline is the central object for any multimedia timeline.

A timeline is composed of a set of Track-s and a set of Layer-s, which are added to the timeline using TimelineExt::add_track and TimelineExt::append_layer, respectively.

The contained tracks define the supported types of the timeline and provide the media output. Essentially, each track provides an additional source gst::Pad.

Most usage of a timeline will likely only need a single AudioTrack and/or a single VideoTrack. You can create such a timeline with Timeline::new_audio_video. After this, you are unlikely to need to work with the tracks directly.

A timeline's layers contain Clip-s, which in turn control the creation of TrackElement-s, which are added to the timeline's tracks. See Timeline::select-tracks-for-object if you wish to have more control over which track a clip's elements are added to.

The layers are ordered, with higher priority layers having their content prioritised in the tracks. This ordering can be changed using TimelineExt::move_layer.

Editing

See TimelineElement for the various ways the elements of a timeline can be edited.

If you change the timing or ordering of a timeline's TimelineElement-s, then these changes will not actually be taken into account in the output of the timeline's tracks until the TimelineExt::commit method is called. This allows you to move its elements around, say, in response to an end user's mouse dragging, with little expense before finalising their effect on the produced data.

Overlaps and Auto-Transitions

There are certain restrictions placed on how Source-s may overlap in a Track that belongs to a timeline. These will be enforced by GES, so the user will not need to keep track of them, but they should be aware that certain edits will be refused as a result if the overlap rules would be broken.

Consider two Source-s, A and B, with start times startA and startB, and end times endA and endB, respectively. The start time refers to their TimelineElement:start, and the end time is their TimelineElement:start + TimelineElement:duration. These two sources overlap if:

they share the same TrackElement:track (non None), which belongs to the timeline;
they share the same GES_TIMELINE_ELEMENT_LAYER_PRIORITY; and
startA < endB and startB < endA .

Note that when startA = endB or startB = endA then the two sources will touch at their edges, but are not considered overlapping.

If, in addition, startA < startB < endA, then we can say that the end of A overlaps the start of B.

If, instead, startA <= startB and endA >= endB, then we can say that A fully overlaps B.

The overlap rules for a timeline are that:

One source cannot fully overlap another source.
A source can only overlap the end of up to one other source at its start.
A source can only overlap the start of up to one other source at its end.

The last two rules combined essentially mean that at any given timeline position, only up to two Source-s may overlap at that position. So triple or more overlaps are not allowed.

If you switch on Timeline:auto-transition, then at any moment when the end of one source (the first source) overlaps the start of another (the second source), a TransitionClip will be automatically created for the pair in the same layer and it will cover their overlap. If the two elements are edited in a way such that the end of the first source no longer overlaps the start of the second, the transition will be automatically removed from the timeline. However, if the two sources still overlap at the same edges after the edit, then the same transition object will be kept, but with its timing and layer adjusted accordingly.

Saving

To save/load a timeline, you can use the TimelineExt::load_from_uri and TimelineExt::save_to_uri methods that use the default format.

Playing

A timeline is a gst::Bin with a source gst::Pad for each of its tracks, which you can fetch with TimelineExt::get_pad_for_track. You will likely want to link these to some compatible sink gst::Element-s to be able to play or capture the content of the timeline.

You can use a Pipeline to easily preview/play the timeline's content, or render it to a file.

Trait containing all Timeline methods.

Implementors

Timeline

Creates a new empty timeline.

Returns

The new timeline.

Creates a new timeline containing a single AudioTrack and a single VideoTrack.

Returns

The new timeline, or None if the tracks could not be created and added.

Creates a timeline from the given URI.

`uri`

The URI to load from

Returns

A new timeline if the uri was loaded successfully, or None if the uri could not be loaded.

Add a layer to the timeline.

If the layer contains Clip-s, then this may trigger the creation of their core track element children for the timeline's tracks, and the placement of the clip's children in the tracks of the timeline using Timeline::select-tracks-for-object. Some errors may occur if this would break one of the configuration rules of the timeline in one of its tracks. In such cases, some track elements would fail to be added to their tracks, but this method would still return true. As such, it is advised that you only add clips to layers that already part of a timeline. In such situations, LayerExt::add_clip is able to fail if adding the clip would cause such an error.

Deprecated since 1.18

This method requires you to ensure the layer's Layer:priority will be unique to the timeline. Use TimelineExt::append_layer and TimelineExt::move_layer instead.

`layer`

The layer to add

Returns

true if layer was properly added.

Add a track to the timeline.

If the timeline already contains clips, then this may trigger the creation of their core track element children for the track, and the placement of the clip's children in the track of the timeline using Timeline::select-tracks-for-object. Some errors may occur if this would break one of the configuration rules for the timeline in the track. In such cases, some track elements would fail to be added to the track, but this method would still return true. As such, it is advised that you avoid adding tracks to timelines that already contain clips.

`track`

The track to add

Returns

true if track was properly added.

Append a newly created layer to the timeline. The layer will be added at the lowest Layer:priority (numerically, the highest).

Returns

The newly created layer.

Commit all the pending changes of the clips contained in the timeline.

When changes happen in a timeline, they are not immediately executed internally, in a way that effects the output data of the timeline. You should call this method when you are done with a set of changes and you want them to be executed.

Any pending changes will be executed in the backend. The Timeline::commited signal will be emitted once this has completed. You should not try to change the state of the timeline, seek it or add tracks to it before receiving this signal. You can use TimelineExt::commit_sync if you do not want to perform other tasks in the mean time.

Note that all the pending changes will automatically be executed when the timeline goes from gst::State::Ready to gst::State::Paused, which is usually triggered by a corresponding state changes in a containing Pipeline.

Returns

true if pending changes were committed, or false if nothing needed to be committed.

Commit all the pending changes of the clips contained in the timeline and wait for the changes to complete.

See TimelineExt::commit.

Returns

true if pending changes were committed, or false if nothing needed to be committed.

Returns

The frame number timestamp corresponds to.

This method allows you to convert a timeline output frame number into a timeline gst::ClockTime. For example, this time could be used to seek to a particular frame in the timeline's output, or as the edit position for an element within the timeline.

Feature: v1_18

Returns

The timestamp corresponding to frame_number in the output of self.

Get the list of Group-s present in the timeline.

Returns

true if the timeline was loaded successfully from uri.

Moves a layer within the timeline to the index given by new_layer_priority. An index of 0 corresponds to the layer with the highest priority in a timeline. If new_layer_priority is greater than the number of layers present in the timeline, it will become the lowest priority layer.

Feature: v1_16

`layer`

A layer within self, whose priority should be changed

`new_layer_priority`

The new index for layer

Paste an element inside the timeline. element must be the return of TimelineElementExt::copy with deep=TRUE, and it should not be changed before pasting. element itself is not placed in the timeline, instead a new element is created, alike to the originally copied element. Note that the originally copied element must also lie within self, at both the point of copying and pasting.

Pasting may fail if it would place the timeline in an unsupported configuration.

After calling this function element should not be used. In particular, element can not be pasted again. Instead, you can copy the returned element and paste that copy (although, this is only possible if the paste was successful).

`element`

The element to paste

`position`

The position in the timeline element should be pasted to, i.e. the TimelineElement:start value for the pasted element.

`layer_priority`

`overwrite`

true to overwrite file if it exists

Returns

true if self was successfully saved to uri.

`auto_transition`

Whether transitions should be automatically added to self's layers

Sets Timeline:snapping-distance for the timeline. This new value will only effect future snappings and will not be used to snap the current element positions within the timeline.

`snapping_distance`

The snapping distance to use (in nanoseconds)

This signal will be emitted once the changes initiated by TimelineExt::commit have been executed in the backend. Use TimelineExt::commit_sync if you do not want to have to connect to this signal.

Will be emitted after the group is added to to the timeline. This can happen when grouping with ges_container_group, or by adding containers to a newly created group.

Note that this should not be emitted whilst a timeline is being loaded from its Project asset. You should connect to the project's Project::loaded signal if you want to know which groups were created for the timeline.

`group`

The group that was added to timeline

Will be emitted after the group is removed from the timeline through ges_container_ungroup. Note that group will no longer contain its former children, these are held in children.

Note that if a group is emptied, then it will no longer belong to the timeline, but this signal will not be emitted in such a case.

`group`

The group that was removed from timeline

`children`

A list of Container-s that were the children of the removed group

Will be emitted after the layer is added to the timeline.

`layer`

The layer that was added to timeline

Will be emitted after the layer is removed from the timeline.

`layer`

The layer that was removed from timeline

Simplified version of Timeline::select-tracks-for-object which only allows track_element to be added to a single Track.

Feature: v1_18

`clip`

The clip that track_element is being added to

`track_element`

The element being added

Returns

A track to put track_element into, or None if it should be discarded.

This will be emitted whenever the timeline needs to determine which tracks a clip's children should be added to. The track element will be added to each of the tracks given in the return. If a track element is selected to go into multiple tracks, it will be copied into the additional tracks, under the same clip. Note that the copy will not keep its properties or state in sync with the original.

Connect to this signal once if you wish to control which element should be added to which track. Doing so will overwrite the default behaviour, which adds track_element to all tracks whose Track:track-type includes the track_element's TrackElement:track-type.

Note that under the default track selection, if a clip would produce multiple core children of the same TrackType, it will choose one of the core children arbitrarily to place in the corresponding tracks, with a warning for the other core children that are not placed in the track. For example, this would happen for a UriClip that points to a file that contains multiple audio streams. If you wish to choose the stream, you could connect to this signal, and use, say, UriSourceAssetExt::get_stream_info to choose which core source to add.

When a clip is first added to a timeline, its core elements will be created for the current tracks in the timeline if they have not already been created. Then this will be emitted for each of these core children to select which tracks, if any, they should be added to. It will then be called for any non-core children in the clip.

In addition, if a new track element is ever added to a clip in a timeline (and it is not already part of a track) this will be emitted to select which tracks the element should be added to.

Finally, as a special case, if a track is added to the timeline after it already contains clips, then it will request the creation of the clips' core elements of the corresponding type, if they have not already been created, and this signal will be emitted for each of these newly created elements. In addition, this will also be released for all other track elements in the timeline's clips that have not yet been assigned a track. However, in this final case, the timeline will only check whether the newly added track appears in the track list. If it does appear, the track element will be added to the newly added track. All other tracks in the returned track list are ignored.

In this latter case, track elements that are already part of a track will not be asked if they want to be copied into the new track. If you wish to do this, you can use ClipExt::add_child_to_track.

Note that the returned glib::PtrArray should own a new reference to each of its contained Track. The timeline will set the GDestroyNotify free function on the glib::PtrArray to dereference the elements.

`clip`

The clip that track_element is being added to

`track_element`

The element being added

Returns

An array of Track-s that track_element should be added to, or None to not add the element to any track.

Will be emitted whenever a snapping event ends. After a snap event has started (see Timeline::snapping-started), it can later end because either another timeline edit has occurred (which may or may not have created a new snapping event), or because the timeline has been committed.

`obj1`

The first element that was snapping

`obj2`

The second element that was snapping

`position`

The position where the two objects were to be snapped to

Will be emitted whenever an element's movement invokes a snapping event during an edit (usually of one of its ancestors) because its start or end point lies within the Timeline:snapping-distance of another element's start or end point.

See EditMode to see what can snap during an edit.

Note that only up to one snapping-started signal will be emitted per element edit within a timeline.

`obj1`

The first element that is snapping

`obj2`

The second element that is snapping

`position`

The position where the two objects will snap to

Will be emitted after the track is added to the timeline.

`track`

The track that was added to timeline

Will be emitted after the track is removed from the timeline.

`track`

The track that was removed from timeline

Whether to automatically create a transition whenever two Source-s overlap in a track of the timeline. See Layer:auto-transition if you want this to only happen in some layers.

The current duration (in nanoseconds) of the timeline. A timeline 'starts' at time 0, so this is the maximum end time of all of its TimelineElement-s.

The distance (in nanoseconds) at which a TimelineElement being moved within the timeline should snap one of its Source-s with another Source-s edge. See EditMode for which edges can snap during an edit. 0 means no snapping.

A TimelineElement will have some temporal extent in its corresponding TimelineElement:timeline, controlled by its TimelineElement:start and TimelineElement:duration. This determines when its content will be displayed, or its effect applied, in the timeline. Several objects may overlap within a given Timeline, in which case their TimelineElement:priority is used to determine their ordering in the timeline. Priority is mostly handled internally by Layer-s and Clip-s.

A timeline element can have a TimelineElement:parent, such as a Clip, which is responsible for controlling its timing.

Editing

Elements can be moved around in their TimelineElement:timeline by setting their TimelineElement:start and TimelineElement:duration using TimelineElementExt::set_start and TimelineElementExt::set_duration. Additionally, which parts of the underlying content are played in the timeline can be adjusted by setting the TimelineElement:in-point using TimelineElementExt::set_inpoint. The library also provides TimelineElementExt::edit, with various EditMode-s, which can adjust these properties in a convenient way, as well as introduce similar changes in neighbouring or later elements in the timeline.

However, a timeline may refuse a change in these properties if they would place the timeline in an unsupported configuration. See Timeline for its overlap rules.

Additionally, an edit may be refused if it would place one of the timing properties out of bounds (such as a negative time value for TimelineElement:start, or having insufficient internal content to last for the desired TimelineElement:duration).

Time Coordinates

There are three main sets of time coordinates to consider when using timeline elements:

Timeline coordinates: these are the time coordinates used in the output of the timeline in its Track-s. Each track share the same coordinates, so there is only one set of coordinates for the timeline. These extend indefinitely from 0. The times used for editing (including setting TimelineElement:start and TimelineElement:duration) use these coordinates, since these define when an element is present and for how long the element lasts for in the timeline.
Internal source coordinates: these are the time coordinates used internally at the element's output. This is only really defined for TrackElement-s, where it refers to time coordinates used at the final source pad of the wrapped gst::Element-s. However, these coordinates may also be used in a Clip in reference to its children. In particular, these are the coordinates used for TimelineElement:in-point and TimelineElement:max-duration.
Internal sink coordinates: these are the time coordinates used internally at the element's input. A Source has no input, so these would be undefined. Otherwise, for most TrackElement-s these will be the same set of coordinates as the internal source coordinates because the element does not change the timing internally. Only BaseEffect can support elements where these are different. See BaseEffect for more information.

You can determine the timeline time for a given internal source time in a Track in a Clip using ClipExt::get_timeline_time_from_internal_time, and vice versa using ClipExt::get_internal_time_from_timeline_time, for the purposes of editing and setting timings properties.

Children Properties

If a timeline element owns another gst::Object and wishes to expose some of its properties, it can do so by registering the property as one of the timeline element's children properties using TimelineElementExt::add_child_property. The registered property of the child can then be read and set using the TimelineElementExt::get_child_property and TimelineElementExt::set_child_property methods, respectively. Some sub-classed objects will be created with pre-registered children properties; for example, to expose part of an underlying gst::Element that is used internally. The registered properties can be listed with TimelineElementExt::list_children_properties.

This is an Abstract Base Class, you cannot instantiate it.

Implements

TimelineElementExt, [trait@glib::object::ObjectExt], ExtractableExt, TimelineElementExtManual

Trait containing all TimelineElement methods.

Implementors

Container, TimelineElement, TrackElement

Register a property of a child of the element to allow it to be written with TimelineElementExt::set_child_property and read with TimelineElementExt::get_child_property. A change in the property will also appear in the TimelineElement::deep-notify signal.

pspec should be unique from other children properties that have been registered on self.

`pspec`

The specification for the property to add

`child`

The gst::Object who the property belongs to

Returns

true if the property was successfully registered.

Create a copy of self. All the properties of self are copied into a new element, with the exception of TimelineElement:parent, TimelineElement:timeline and TimelineElement:name. Other data, such the list of a Container's children, is not copied.

If deep is true, then the new element is prepared so that it can be used in TimelineElementExt::paste or TimelineExt::paste_element. In the case of copying a Container, this ensures that the children of self will also be pasted. The new element should not be used for anything else and can only be used once in a pasting operation. In particular, the new element itself is not an actual 'deep' copy of self, but should be thought of as an intermediate object used for a single paste operation.

`deep`

Whether the copy is needed for pasting

Returns

The newly create element, copied from self.

See TimelineElementExt::edit_full, which also gives an error.

Note that the layers argument is currently ignored, so you should just pass None.

Feature: v1_18

`layers`

A whitelist of layers where the edit can be performed, None allows all layers in the timeline.

`new_layer_priority`

The priority/index of the layer self should be moved to. -1 means no move

`mode`

The edit mode

`edge`

The edge of self where the edit should occur

`position`

The edit position: a new location for the edge of self (in nanoseconds) in the timeline coordinates

Returns

true if the edit of self completed, false on failure.

Edits the element within its timeline by adjusting its TimelineElement:start, TimelineElement:duration or TimelineElement:in-point, and potentially doing the same for other elements in the timeline. See EditMode for details about each edit mode. An edit may fail if it would place one of these properties out of bounds, or if it would place the timeline in an unsupported configuration.

Note that if you act on a TrackElement, this will edit its parent Clip instead. Moreover, for any TimelineElement, if you select Edge::None for EditMode::Normal or EditMode::Ripple, this will edit the toplevel instead, but still in such a way as to make the TimelineElement:start of self reach the edit position.

Note that if the element's timeline has a Timeline:snapping-distance set, then the edit position may be snapped to the edge of some element under the edited element.

new_layer_priority can be used to switch self, and other elements moved by the edit, to a new layer. New layers may be be created if the the corresponding layer priority/index does not yet exist for the timeline.

Feature: v1_18

`new_layer_priority`

The priority/index of the layer self should be moved to. -1 means no move

`mode`

The edit mode

`edge`

The edge of self where the edit should occur

`position`

The edit position: a new location for the edge of self (in nanoseconds) in the timeline coordinates

Returns

true if the edit of self completed, false on failure.

Gets several of the children properties of the element. See TimelineElementExt::get_child_property.

`first_property_name`

The name of the first child property to get

Gets the property of a child of the element.

property_name can either be in the format "prop-name" or "TypeName::prop-name", where "prop-name" is the name of the property to get (as used in glib::object::ObjectExt::get), and "TypeName" is the type name of the child (as returned by G_OBJECT_TYPE_NAME()). The latter format is useful when two children of different types share the same property name.

The first child found with the given "prop-name" property that was registered with TimelineElementExt::add_child_property (and of the type "TypeName", if it was given) will have the corresponding property copied into value.

Note that TimelineElementExt::get_child_properties may be more convenient for C programming.

`property_name`

The name of the child property to get

`value`

The return location for the value

Returns

true if the property was found and copied to value.

Gets the property of a child of the element. Specifically, the property corresponding to the pspec used in TimelineElementExt::add_child_property is copied into value.

`pspec`

The specification of a registered child property to get

`value`

The return location for the value

Gets several of the children properties of the element. See TimelineElementExt::get_child_property.

Gets the TimelineElement:duration for the element.

Returns

The duration of self (in nanoseconds).

Gets the TimelineElement:in-point for the element.

Returns

The in-point of self (in nanoseconds).

Gets the priority of the layer the element is in. A Group may span several layers, so this would return the highest priority (numerically, the smallest) amongst them.

Feature: v1_16

Returns

The priority of the layer self is in, or GES_TIMELINE_ELEMENT_NO_LAYER_PRIORITY if self does not exist in a layer.

Gets the TimelineElement:max-duration for the element.

Returns

The max-duration of self (in nanoseconds).

Gets the TimelineElement:name for the element.

Returns

The name of self.

Get the "natural" framerate of self. This is to say, for example for a VideoUriSource the framerate of the source.

Note that a AudioSource may also have a natural framerate if it derives from the same SourceClip asset as a VideoSource, and its value will be that of the video source. For example, if the uri of a UriClip points to a file that contains both a video and audio stream, then the corresponding AudioUriSource will share the natural framerate of the corresponding VideoUriSource.

Feature: v1_18

`framerate_n`

The framerate numerator

`framerate_d`

The framerate denominator

Returns

Whether self has a natural framerate or not, framerate_n and framerate_d will be set to, respectively, 0 and -1 if it is not the case.

Gets the TimelineElement:parent for the element.

Returns

The parent of self, or None if self has no parent.

Gets the TimelineElement:priority for the element.

Returns

The priority of self.

Gets the TimelineElement:start for the element.

Gets the track types that the element can interact with, i.e. the type of Track it can exist in, or will create TrackElement-s for.

Returns

The track types that self supports.

Get a list of children properties of the element, which is a list of all the specifications passed to TimelineElementExt::add_child_property.

`n_properties`

The return location for the length of the returned array

Returns

An array of glib::object::ParamSpec corresponding to the child properties of self, or None if something went wrong.

Looks up a child property of the element.

prop_name can either be in the format "prop-name" or "TypeName::prop-name", where "prop-name" is the name of the property to look up (as used in glib::object::ObjectExt::get), and "TypeName" is the type name of the child (as returned by G_OBJECT_TYPE_NAME()). The latter format is useful when two children of different types share the same property name.

The first child found with the given "prop-name" property that was registered with TimelineElementExt::add_child_property (and of the type "TypeName", if it was given) will be passed to child, and the registered specification of this property will be passed to pspec.

`prop_name`

The name of a child property

`child`

The return location for the found child

`pspec`

The return location for the specification of the child property

Returns

true if a child corresponding to the property was found, in which case child and pspec are set.

Paste an element inside the same timeline and layer as self. self must be the return of TimelineElementExt::copy with deep=TRUE, and it should not be changed before pasting. self is not placed in the timeline, instead a new element is created, alike to the originally copied element. Note that the originally copied element must stay within the same timeline and layer, at both the point of copying and pasting.

Pasting may fail if it would place the timeline in an unsupported configuration.

`paste_position`

The position in the timeline element should be pasted to, i.e. the TimelineElement:start value for the pasted element.

Returns

The newly created element, or None if pasting fails.

Remove a child property from the element. pspec should be a specification that was passed to TimelineElementExt::add_child_property. The corresponding property will no longer be registered as a child property for the element.

`pspec`

The specification for the property to remove

Returns

true if the property was successfully un-registered for self.

Edits the start time of an element within its timeline in ripple mode. See TimelineElementExt::edit with EditMode::Ripple and Edge::None.

`start`

The new start time of self in ripple mode

Returns

true if the ripple edit of self completed, false on failure.

Edits the end time of an element within its timeline in ripple mode. See TimelineElementExt::edit with EditMode::Ripple and Edge::End.

`end`

The new end time of self in ripple mode

Returns

true if the ripple edit of self completed, false on failure.

Edits the end time of an element within its timeline in roll mode. See TimelineElementExt::edit with EditMode::Roll and Edge::End.

`end`

The new end time of self in roll mode

Returns

true if the roll edit of self completed, false on failure.

Edits the start time of an element within its timeline in roll mode. See TimelineElementExt::edit with EditMode::Roll and Edge::Start.

`start`

The new start time of self in roll mode

Returns

true if the roll edit of self completed, false on failure.

Sets several of the children properties of the element. See TimelineElementExt::set_child_property.

`first_property_name`

The name of the first child property to set

See TimelineElementExt::set_child_property_full, which also gives an error.

Note that TimelineElementExt::set_child_properties may be more convenient for C programming.

`property_name`

The name of the child property to set

`value`

The value to set the property to

Returns

true if the property was found and set.

Sets the property of a child of the element. Specifically, the property corresponding to the pspec used in TimelineElementExt::add_child_property is set to value.

`pspec`

The specification of a registered child property to set

`value`

The value to set the property to

Sets the property of a child of the element.

property_name can either be in the format "prop-name" or "TypeName::prop-name", where "prop-name" is the name of the property to set (as used in glib::object::ObjectExt::set), and "TypeName" is the type name of the child (as returned by G_OBJECT_TYPE_NAME()). The latter format is useful when two children of different types share the same property name.

Feature: v1_18

`property_name`

The name of the child property to set

`value`

The value to set the property to

Returns

true if the property was found and set.

Sets several of the children properties of the element. See TimelineElementExt::set_child_property.

`first_property_name`

The name of the first child property to set

`var_args`

The value for the first property, followed optionally by more name/value pairs, followed by None

Sets TimelineElement:duration for the element.

Whilst the element is part of a Timeline, this is the same as editing the element with TimelineElementExt::edit under EditMode::Trim with Edge::End. In particular, the TimelineElement:duration of the element may be snapped to a different timeline time difference from the one given. In addition, setting may fail if it would place the timeline in an unsupported configuration, or the element does not have enough internal content to last the desired duration.

`duration`

The desired duration in its timeline

Returns

true if duration could be set for self.

Sets TimelineElement:in-point for the element. If the new in-point is above the current TimelineElement:max-duration of the element, this method will fail.

`inpoint`

The in-point, in internal time coordinates

Returns

true if inpoint could be set for self.

Sets TimelineElement:max-duration for the element. If the new maximum duration is below the current TimelineElement:in-point of the element, this method will fail.

`maxduration`

The maximum duration, in internal time coordinates

Returns

true if maxduration could be set for self.

Sets the TimelineElement:name for the element. If None is given for name, then the library will instead generate a new name based on the type name of the element, such as the name "uriclip3" for a UriClip, and will set that name instead.

If self already has a TimelineElement:timeline, you should not call this function with name set to None.

You should ensure that, within each Timeline, every element has a unique name. If you call this function with name as None, then the library should ensure that the set generated name is unique from previously generated names. However, if you choose a name that interferes with the naming conventions of the library, the library will attempt to ensure that the generated names will not conflict with the chosen name, which may lead to a different name being set instead, but the uniqueness between generated and user-chosen names is not guaranteed.

`name`

The name self should take

Returns

true if name or a generated name for self could be set.

Sets the TimelineElement:parent for the element.

This is used internally and you should normally not call this. A Container will set the TimelineElement:parent of its children in GESContainerExt::add and GESContainerExt::remove.

Note, if parent is not None, self must not already have a parent set. Therefore, if you wish to switch parents, you will need to call this function twice: first to set the parent to None, and then to the new parent.

If parent is not None, you must ensure it already has a (non-floating) reference to self before calling this.

Returns

true if parent could be set for self.

Sets the priority of the element within the containing layer.

Deprecated since 1.10

All priority management is done by GES itself now. To set Effect priorities ClipExt::set_top_effect_index should be used.

`priority`

The priority

Returns

true if priority could be set for self.

Sets TimelineElement:start for the element. If the element has a parent, this will also move its siblings with the same shift.

Whilst the element is part of a Timeline, this is the same as editing the element with TimelineElementExt::edit under EditMode::Normal with Edge::None. In particular, the TimelineElement:start of the element may be snapped to a different timeline time from the one given. In addition, setting may fail if it would place the timeline in an unsupported configuration.

`start`

The desired start position of the element in its timeline

Returns

true if start could be set for self.

Sets the TimelineElement:timeline of the element.

This is used internally and you should normally not call this. A Clip will have its TimelineElement:timeline set through its Layer. A Track will similarly take care of setting the TimelineElement:timeline of its TrackElement-s. A Group will adopt the same TimelineElement:timeline as its children.

If timeline is None, this will stop its current TimelineElement:timeline from tracking it, otherwise timeline will start tracking self. Note, in the latter case, self must not already have a timeline set. Therefore, if you wish to switch timelines, you will need to call this function twice: first to set the timeline to None, and then to the new timeline.

Returns

true if timeline could be set for self.

Edits the start time of an element within its timeline in trim mode. See TimelineElementExt::edit with EditMode::Trim and Edge::Start.

`start`

The new start time of self in trim mode

Returns

true if the trim edit of self completed, false on failure.

Emitted when the element has a new child property registered. See TimelineElementExt::add_child_property.

Note that some GES elements will be automatically created with pre-registered children properties. You can use TimelineElementExt::list_children_properties to list these.

Feature: v1_18

`prop_object`

The child whose property has been registered

`prop`

The specification for the property that has been registered

Emitted when the element has a child property unregistered. See TimelineElementExt::remove_child_property.

Feature: v1_18

`prop_object`

The child whose property has been unregistered

`prop`

The specification for the property that has been unregistered

Emitted when a child of the element has one of its registered properties set. See TimelineElementExt::add_child_property. Note that unlike glib::object::Object::notify, a child property name can not be used as a signal detail.

`prop_object`

The child whose property has been set

`prop`

The specification for the property that been set

The duration that the element is in effect for in the timeline (a time difference in nanoseconds using the time coordinates of the timeline). For example, for a source element, this would determine for how long it should output its internal content for. For an operation element, this would determine for how long its effect should be applied to any source content.

The initial offset to use internally when outputting content (in nanoseconds, but in the time coordinates of the internal content).

For example, for a VideoUriSource that references some media file, the "internal content" is the media file data, and the in-point would correspond to some timestamp in the media file. When playing the timeline, and when the element is first reached at timeline-time TimelineElement:start, it will begin outputting the data from the timestamp in-point onwards, until it reaches the end of its TimelineElement:duration in the timeline.

For elements that have no internal content, this should be kept as 0.

The initial offset to use internally when outputting content (in nanoseconds, but in the time coordinates of the internal content).

For elements that have no internal content, this should be kept as 0.

The full duration of internal content that is available (a time difference in nanoseconds using the time coordinates of the internal content).

This will act as a cap on the TimelineElement:in-point of the element (which is in the same time coordinates), and will sometimes be used to limit the TimelineElement:duration of the element in the timeline.

For example, for a VideoUriSource that references some media file, this would be the length of the media file.

For elements that have no internal content, or whose content is indefinite, this should be kept as GST_CLOCK_TIME_NONE.

The full duration of internal content that is available (a time difference in nanoseconds using the time coordinates of the internal content).

For example, for a VideoUriSource that references some media file, this would be the length of the media file.

For elements that have no internal content, or whose content is indefinite, this should be kept as GST_CLOCK_TIME_NONE.

The name of the element. This should be unique within its timeline.

The parent container of the element.

The priority of the element.

Deprecated since 1.10

Priority management is now done by GES itself.

The priority of the element.

Deprecated since 1.10

Priority management is now done by GES itself.

Whether the element should be serialized.

The starting position of the element in the timeline (in nanoseconds and in the time coordinates of the timeline). For example, for a source element, this would determine the time at which it should start outputting its internal content. For an operation element, this would determine the time at which it should start applying its effect to any source content.

The timeline that the element lies within.

A Track acts an output source for a Timeline. Each one essentially provides an additional gst::Pad for the timeline, with Track:restriction-caps capabilities. Internally, a track wraps an nlecomposition filtered by a capsfilter.

A track will contain a number of TrackElement-s, and its role is to select and activate these elements according to their timings when the timeline in played. For example, a track would activate a Source when its TimelineElement:start is reached by outputting its data for its TimelineElement:duration. Similarly, a Operation would be activated by applying its effect to the source data, starting from its TimelineElement:start time and lasting for its TimelineElement:duration.

For most users, it will usually be sufficient to add newly created tracks to a timeline, but never directly add an element to a track. Whenever a Clip is added to a timeline, the clip adds its elements to the timeline's tracks and assumes responsibility for updating them.

Implements

GESTrackExt, [trait@gst::ElementExt], [trait@gst::ObjectExt], [trait@glib::object::ObjectExt]

Trait containing all Track methods.

Implementors

Track

Creates a new track with the given track-type and caps.

If type_ is TrackType::Video, and caps is a subset of "video/x-raw(ANY)", then a VideoTrack is created. This will automatically choose a gap creation method suitable for video data. You will likely want to set Track:restriction-caps separately. You may prefer to use the VideoTrack::new method instead.

If type_ is TrackType::Audio, and caps is a subset of "audio/x-raw(ANY)", then a AudioTrack is created. This will automatically choose a gap creation method suitable for audio data, and will set the Track:restriction-caps to the default for AudioTrack. You may prefer to use the AudioTrack::new method instead.

Otherwise, a plain Track is returned. You will likely want to set the Track:restriction-caps and call GESTrackExt::set_create_element_for_gap_func on the returned track.

`type_`

The Track:track-type for the track

`caps`

The Track:caps for the track

Returns

A new track.

See GESTrackExt::add_element, which also gives an error.

`object`

The element to add

Returns

true if object was successfully added to self.

Adds the given track element to the track, which takes ownership of the element.

Note that this can fail if it would break a configuration rule of the track's Timeline.

Note that a TrackElement can only be added to one track.

Feature: v1_18

`object`

The element to add

Returns

true if object was successfully added to self.

Commits all the pending changes for the elements contained in the track.

When changes are made to the timing or priority of elements within a track, they are not directly executed for the underlying nlecomposition and its children. This method will finally execute these changes so they are reflected in the data output of the track.

Any pending changes will be executed in the backend. The Timeline::commited signal will be emitted once this has completed.

Note that TimelineExt::commit will call this method on all of its tracks, so you are unlikely to need to use this directly.

Returns

true if pending changes were committed, or false if nothing needed to be committed.

Get the Track:caps of the track.

Returns

The caps of self.

Gets the track elements contained in the track. The returned list is sorted by the element's TimelineElement:priority and TimelineElement:start.

Returns

A list of all the TrackElement-s in self.

Gets the Track:mixing of the track.

Returns

Whether self is mixing.

Gets the Track:restriction-caps of the track.

Feature: v1_18

Returns

The restriction-caps of self.

Get the timeline this track belongs to.

Returns

The timeline that self belongs to, or None if it does not belong to a timeline.

See GESTrackExt::remove_element_full, which also returns an error.

`object`

The element to remove

Returns

true if object was successfully removed from self.

Removes the given track element from the track, which revokes ownership of the element.

Feature: v1_18

`object`

The element to remove

Returns

true if object was successfully removed from self.

Sets the function that will be used to create a gst::Element that can be used as a source to fill the gaps of the track. A gap is a timeline region where the track has no TrackElement sources. Therefore, you are likely to want the gst::Element returned by the function to always produce 'empty' content, defined relative to the stream type, such as transparent frames for a video, or mute samples for audio.

AudioTrack and VideoTrack objects are created with such a function already set appropriately.

`func`

The function to be used to create a source gst::Element that can fill gaps in self

Sets the Track:mixing for the track.

`mixing`

Whether self should be mixing

Sets the Track:restriction-caps for the track.

NOTE: Restriction caps are not taken into account when using Pipeline:mode=PipelineFlags::SmartRender.

`caps`

The new restriction-caps for self

Informs the track that it belongs to the given timeline. Calling this does not actually add the track to the timeline. For that, you should use TimelineExt::add_track, which will also take care of informing the track that it belongs to the timeline. As such, there is no need for you to call this method.

Updates the Track:restriction-caps of the track using the fields found in the given caps. Each of the gst::Structure-s in caps is compared against the existing structure with the same index in the current Track:restriction-caps. If there is no corresponding existing structure at that index, then the new structure is simply copied to that index. Otherwise, any fields in the new structure are copied into the existing structure. This will replace existing values, and may introduce new ones, but any fields 'missing' in the new structure are left unchanged in the existing structure.

For example, if the existing Track:restriction-caps are "video/x-raw, width=480, height=360", and the updating caps is "video/x-raw, format=I420, width=500; video/x-bayer, width=400", then the new Track:restriction-caps after calling this will be "video/x-raw, width=500, height=360, format=I420; video/x-bayer, width=400".

`caps`

The caps to update the restriction-caps with

This signal will be emitted once the changes initiated by GESTrackExt::commit have been executed in the backend. In particular, this will be emitted whenever the underlying nlecomposition has been committed (see nlecomposition::commited).

Will be emitted after a track element is added to the track.

`effect`

The element that was added

Will be emitted after a track element is removed from the track.

`effect`

The element that was removed

The capabilities used to choose the output of the Track's elements. Internally, this is used to select output streams when several may be available, by determining whether its gst::Pad is compatible (see NleObject:caps for nlecomposition). As such, this is used as a weaker indication of the desired output type of the track, before the Track:restriction-caps is applied. Therefore, this should be set to a generic superset of the Track:restriction-caps, such as "video/x-raw(ANY)". In addition, it should match with the track's Track:track-type.

Note that when you set this property, the gst::CapsFeatures of all its gst::Structure-s will be automatically set to GST_CAPS_FEATURES_ANY.

Once a track has been added to a Timeline, you should not change this.

Default value: GST_CAPS_ANY.

Note that when you set this property, the gst::CapsFeatures of all its gst::Structure-s will be automatically set to GST_CAPS_FEATURES_ANY.

Once a track has been added to a Timeline, you should not change this.

Default value: GST_CAPS_ANY.

Feature: v1_18

Whether the track should support the mixing of Layer data, such as composing the video data of each layer (when part of the video data is transparent, the next layer will become visible) or adding together the audio data. As such, for audio and video tracks, you'll likely want to keep this set to true.

The capabilities that specifies the final output format of the Track. For example, for a video track, it would specify the height, width, framerate and other properties of the stream.

You may change this property after the track has been added to a Timeline, but it must remain compatible with the track's Track:caps.

Default value: GST_CAPS_ANY.

The track type of the track. This controls the type of TrackElement-s that can be added to the track. This should match with the track's Track:caps.

Once a track has been added to a Timeline, you should not change this.

The track type of the track. This controls the type of TrackElement-s that can be added to the track. This should match with the track's Track:caps.

Once a track has been added to a Timeline, you should not change this.

A TrackElement is a TimelineElement that specifically belongs to a single Track of its TimelineElement:timeline. Its TimelineElement:start and TimelineElement: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 TrackElementExt::get_nleobject, and its TimelineElement:start, TimelineElement:duration, TimelineElement:in-point, TimelineElement:priority and TrackElement: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 Clip 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 Effect-s.

Control Bindings for Children Properties

You can set up control bindings for a track element child property using TrackElementExt::set_control_source. A GstTimedValueControlSource should specify the timed values using the internal source coordinates (see TimelineElement). By default, these will be updated to lie between the TimelineElement:in-point and out-point of the element. This can be switched off by setting TrackElement:auto-clamp-control-sources to false.

This is an Abstract Base Class, you cannot instantiate it.

Implements

Trait containing all TrackElement methods.

Implementors

TrackElement

Adds all the properties of a gst::Element that match the criteria as children properties of the track element. If the name of element's gst::ElementFactory is not in blacklist, and the factory's GST_ELEMENT_METADATA_KLASS contains at least one member of wanted_categories (e.g. GST_ELEMENT_FACTORY_KLASS_DECODER), then all the properties of element that are also in whitelist are added as child properties of self using TimelineElementExt::add_child_property.

This is intended to be used by subclasses when constructing.

`element`

The child object to retrieve properties from

`wanted_categories`

An array of element factory "klass" categories to whitelist, or None to accept all categories

`blacklist`

Clamp the GstTimedValueControlSource for the specified child property to lie between the TimelineElement:in-point and out-point of the element. The out-point is the GES_TIMELINE_ELEMENT_END of the element translated from the timeline coordinates to the internal source coordinates of the element.

If the property does not have a GstTimedValueControlSource set by TrackElementExt::set_control_source, nothing happens. Otherwise, if a timed value for the control source lies before the in-point of the element, or after its out-point, then it will be removed. At the in-point and out-point times, a new interpolated value will be placed.

Feature: v1_18

Get whether the given track element is a core track element. That is, it was created by the create_track_elements ClipClass method for some Clip.

Note that such a track element can only be added to a clip that shares the same Asset as the clip that created it. For example, you are allowed to move core children between clips that resulted from GESContainerExt::ungroup, but you could not move the core child from a UriClip to a TitleClip or another UriClip with a different UriClip:uri.

Moreover, if a core track element is added to a clip, it will always be added as a core child. Therefore, if this returns true, then element will be a core child of its parent clip.

Feature: v1_18

Returns

true if element is a core track element.

Whether the effect of the element should be applied in its TrackElement:track. If set to false, it will not be used in the output of the track.

Whether the control sources on the element (see TrackElementExt::set_control_source) will be automatically updated whenever the TimelineElement:in-point or out-point of the element change in value.

See TrackElementExt::clamp_control_source for how this is done per control source.

Default value: true

Feature: v1_18

See TrackElementExt::clamp_control_source for how this is done per control source.

Default value: true

Feature: v1_18

This property is used to determine whether the 'internal time' properties of the element have any meaning. In particular, unless this is set to true, the TimelineElement:in-point and TimelineElement:max-duration can not be set to any value other than the default 0 and GST_CLOCK_TIME_NONE, respectively.

If an element has some internal timed source gst::Element that it reads stream data from as part of its function in a Track, then you'll likely want to set this to true to allow the TimelineElement:in-point and TimelineElement:max-duration to be set.

The default value is determined by the TrackElementClass default_has_internal_source class property. For most SourceClass-es, this will be true, with the exception of those that have a potentially static source, such as ImageSourceClass and TitleSourceClass. Otherwise, this will usually be false.

For most Operation-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 TrackElement.

For example, you may want to set this to true for a TrackType::Video operation that wraps a textoverlay that reads from a subtitle file and places its text on top of the received video data. The TimelineElement:in-point of the element would be used to shift the initial seek time on the textoverlay away from 0, and the TimelineElement:max-duration could be set to reflect the time at which the subtitle file runs out of data.

Note that GES can not support track elements that have both internal content and manipulate the timing of their data streams (time effects).

Feature: v1_18

Note that GES can not support track elements that have both internal content and manipulate the timing of their data streams (time effects).

Feature: v1_18

The track that this element belongs to, or None if it does not belong to a track.

The track type of the element, which determines the type of track the element can be added to (see Track:track-type). This should correspond to the type of data that the element can produce or process.

Types of content handled by a track. If the content is not one of Audio, Video or Text, the user of the Track must set the type to Custom.

Unknown is for internal purposes and should not be used by users

A track of unknown type (i.e. invalid)

An audio track

A video track

A text (subtitle) track

A custom-content track

Creates an object that mixes together the two underlying objects, A and B. The A object is assumed to have a higher prioirity (lower number) than the B object. At the transition in point, only A will be visible, and by the end only B will be visible.

The shape of the video transition depends on the value of the "vtype" property. The default value is "crossfade". For audio, only "crossfade" is supported.

The ID of the ExtractableType is the nickname of the vtype property value. Note that this value can be changed after creation and the GESExtractable.asset value will be updated when needed.
