Youtube Integration in VLMC
Abstract
Youtube is the most popular video sharing website, right now. VLMC is a video editing software and having features in VLMC to search-retrieve videos, directly upload/update/delete videos on Youtube, within the application itself, would be awesome. The aim of this project is to write a small C++/Qt based Youtube client library for VLMC that provides her all the APIs to perform all those things.
Milestones
| Task | Date of completion |
|---|---|
| Youtube API key, Authentication | |
| Network Proxy support, Youtube credential storage | |
| Sharing option, video export for Youtube | |
| Direct Video Upload! | |
| Import media from Youtube (Search and Retrieval) |
Roadmap
1. Get to know working of Youtube Protocols [DONE]
2. Hack VLMC and create repo. [DONE]
3. Write Export Dialog. [DONE]
4. Write mechanism to render movie to a temporary directory, while blocking video editing. [IN PROGRESS]
5. Write mechanism to refine video exporting method according to formats, quality etc.
6. Integrate Youtube settings (API key etc...) in VLMC. [IN PROGRESS]
7. Integrate network settings, like proxy etc. [IN PROGRESS]
8. Write authentication/networking tests.
9. Video Upload etc.
10. ...
Proposed Timeline
| Objective | Proposed Duration | Status |
