This project is part of Google Summer of Code 2009.

Enhancing VLMC
Abstract
The aim of this project is to provide a functionnal workflow for the VLMC project, including the transition and effects API, in order to allow external developpers to create new effects. At the moment, VLMC isn't abble to generate a video output. After this summer, it (hopefully) will :)
The workflow consists of 5 differents workflows :
- The main workflow
- The clip workflow
- The track workflow
- The effects workflow
- The transition workflow
Basically, the main workflow will query the track workflow, which will query the clip workflow for each clip contained in the so called track. Transitions and effect workflow will query transition and effects modules at different points, from the precedently described workflows.
Tasks
| Task name | End date | Dependencies | Status |
|---|---|---|---|
| Clip workflow | 06-06-09 | Requires a functional preview widget, and a basic timeline | Completed |
| Tracks workflow | 13-06-09 | Requires a functionnal Clip workflow | Almost completed |
| Main workflow | 04-07-09 | Requires a functionnal Track workflow | Just a basic one to test the track workflow |
| Effect and Transition API | 25-07-09 | Requires lots of conception :p | Not started yet |
| Effect workflow | 01-08-09 | Requires all the basic workflow to be functionnal, and an effect API to query modules | Not started yet |
| Transition workflow | 09-09-09 | Requires all the basic workflow to be functionnal, and the transition API | Not started yet |
Timeline
May 26 Here we go !
June 06 Functionnal clip workflow
June 13 Functionnal track workflow
June 19 Some small vacation
July 01 Let's get back coding !
July 04 Main workflow
Having a look at the code efficiency would be good. At this point, real time is almost mandatory.
July 07 Mid term evaluation
July 25 Effect and transition API
August 01 Functionnal effect workflow
August 08 Functionnal transition workflow
August 11 Check code, write doc, beeing nervous if work isn't done.
August 18 Keyboard pencil down :(
August 18/19 Let's party o//
