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 | Almost done |
| Tracks workflow | 13-06-09 | Requires a functionnal Clip workflow | Not started yet |
| Main workflow | 11-07-09 | Requires a functionnal Track workflow | Not started yet |
| Effect and Transition API | 14-08-09 | Requires lots of conception :p | Not started yet |
| Effect workflow | 28-08-09 | Requires all the basic workflow to be functionnal, and an effect API to query modules | Not started yet |
| Transition workflow | 11-09-09 | Requires all the basic workflow to be functionnal, and the transition API | Not started yet |
| Plug effects and transition workflow | 25-09-09 | Plug the effect and transition workflow through the whole workflow | Not started yet |
In order to test the effect and transition workflow, they will be plugged at an arbitrary spot. Probably the clip workflow.

From 19-06 to 01-07 : Some small vacations :)
This will need a bit of a formating work ;)
May 26 Here we go ! July 07 Mid term evaluation
August 11 Check code, write doc, beeing nervous if work isn't done. August 18 Keyboard pencil down :(
