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 |
|---|---|
| Sharing option, video export/rendering for Youtube | 24 May 2010 |
| Port VLMC to Mac OS | 27 May 2010 |
| DEB/RPM support in Build System | 29 May 2010 |
| Mac Bundle / DMG in Build System | 30 May 2010 |
| Youtube API key, Authentication | |
| Network Proxy support, Youtube credential storage | |
| Direct Video Upload! | |
| Import media from Youtube (Search and Retrieval) |
Short Term Goals
1. Write mechanism to refine video exporting method according to formats, quality etc. [IN PROGRESS]
2. Integrate network settings, like proxy etc. [IN PROGRESS]
3. Write authentication/networking tests.
4. Video Upload etc.
Proposed Timeline
| Objective | Proposed Duration | Status |
|---|---|---|
| Get Youtube Developer Key, study authentication protocol and start hacking VLMC. |
May 24 - May 30 |
Completed |
|
Implement and test authentication API in VLMC. Export movie project + UI (supported formats).
Start studying and implementation of direct upload API. |
May 31 - June 20 |
In Progress |
|
Direct upload must be implemented by now(+/-1 week). Add option in VLMC preferences to configure Network Proxy and manage Youtube credentials. |
June 20 - June 27 | In Progress |
