This allows a title template to be selected from a set of provided templates and then edit the text, font properties (using a custom font selector), font color and background color. Also provided is the facility to edit the template in an external editor (currently set to Inkscape).	Andy Finch	15 years ago

I'm initing it to version 0.6.0, since OpenShot has already had many many checkins and contains many features. I figure I'll work toward a version 1.0.0 release, once I have the following features completed: 1) Transitions (luma and fade) 2) Key Framing (basic geometry: x, y, width, height, alpha) 3) Make Movie Dialog (i.e. lots of exporting options)	Jonathan Thomas	15 years ago

Fixed a bug with the Play / Pause logic, and also disabled general keyboard events, since they were interupting the new key mappings. For example, when you click the LEFT arrow key, it was kicking off other events, such as switching the selected icon on a toolbar, or sliding the zoom slider (basically whatever has focus).

71	Made many significant changes to the video controls (i.e. pl... Made many significant changes to the video controls (i.e. play, rewind, etc...). OpenShot now accurately tracks when changes have been made to the timeline, and only re-generates the MLT XML when needed. All of the video control buttons (and play head) check if the timeline needs to be re-generated, and thus... the user always has an accurate preview of the timeline, no matter what they do. Also, this improves performance with seeking, pausing, and playing when nothing has changed. Fixed a bug with the SaveProject() method. It wasn't stopping the video thread before saving, and would cause random crashes and freezes. Added frame stepping via the LEFT and RIGHT arrow keys. Added marker jumping via the UP and DOWN arrow keys. Mapped the following key presses: J - Seek backwards K - Play / Pause L - Seek forwards Also, update the seek forward and backward methods to use a more profressional algorithm, i.e. 1x, 2x, 4x, 8x, etc... And lastly, updated the project zoom controls to not freek out and disappear when you slide the slider all the way to the right.	Jonathan Thomas	15 years ago
70	I modified the license file to include a legal snippet about... I modified the license file to include a legal snippet about ffmpeg and how we don't contain any proprietary codecs. Added some more installation instructions to the readme file. Changed the thumbnail system to use PNG instead of JPEG format. Also, modified the way we create thumbnails to conform to the stringf format that newer ffmpeg libraries require (i.e. filename_%d.png). On some versions of Ubuntu, the thumbnails were not working... but now they do.	Jonathan Thomas	15 years ago

This is a complete redesign of MLT with everything moved around and named differently. So, as you can imagine, the namespaces changed, the import statements changed, and even some of the XML changed. So... this check-in will break OpenShot for anyone who is still using the old MLT bindings (i.e. everyone). Sorry, we'll fix this soon. Also, I will be soon be adding a new branch for the "OpenShot Build Wizard", which will help people install, configure, and run MLT and OpenShot. Stay tuned...	Jonathan Thomas	15 years ago
68	Improved the "hide video" icon on the track and the clip obj... Improved the "hide video" icon on the track and the clip objects. It no longer leaves a few frames of video behind. It also works on track 0 now. In other words, a much more stable "hide video" feature. Cleaned up the OpenShotFile object and added a few new properties, including file_type, ttl (time to live), and unique_id. Improved the url decoding to work with more file and folder names. Some special characters used in filenames would break before this fix. Improved the project save() method, to update thumbnail locations more safely. And many other fixes to the way thumbnail locations were referred to and updated. This makes OpenShot much more stable when saving projects, so we don't loose references to thumbnail images. Improved the Play-Head and the Video control buttons (i.e. play, pause) to always ensure it previews the video as you interact with them. Added unique_id to our main file tree, so we have a more accurate way to locate a file that has been dragged onto the timeline. Since clips can have the same name (i.e. different folder), the old way wasn't flexible enough. Added a new menu option to video clips: Convert to Image Sequence. This creates a new file in the project, and creates an image for each frame in the source video clip (i.e. frame_0001.png, frame_0002.png. This allows the user to then go modify each frame in their favorite photo editor, and then OpenShot will automatically update the video to reflect those modified images. There is also a new dialog screen to allow adding of any numbered image sequence. For example, a sequence of images produced by Blender, Gimp, FFMPEG, etc...	Jonathan Thomas	15 years ago

Added a full set of controls for the video (with new icons), including: 1) Seek to Beginning 2) Previous Marker 3) Seek Backwards 4) Play / Pause 5) Seek Forwards 6) Next Marker 7) Seek to End Added a new "marker" object, which can be added to the timeline. Once the timeline has markers, the user can quickly jump between the markers, and use them to keep track of interesting points in the video. To remove a marker, right click on it and choose "Remove Marker". Fixed the playhead to actually seek the video as the user drags it. This feels much more natural, and works as you would expect it to. Updated the UI (specifically the gtk.Toolbars) to look better and incorporate some of the surrounding controls. Also, I got the main "play back" toolbar to center as the window is resized. Also, I added tooltips to all of the toolbar buttons, so it's more clear what the function of each icon is.

66	Added a new thumbnail image for audio files, that looks much... Added a new thumbnail image for audio files, that looks much better than the ? icon. Also, improved the file_name decoding, so certain file names don't crash OpenShot. And improved the AddFile() method to not allow duplicate files to be added to an OpenShot project.	Jonathan Thomas	15 years ago
65	Fixed a bug with clip length, start, and end time being calc... Fixed a bug with clip length, start, and end time being calculated incorrectly. It was being converted to an integer, and thus loosing some of the frames. Also, added some additional properties to the OpenShotFile object, such as max_frames and producer_fps.	Jonathan Thomas	15 years ago
64	Re-coded the clip.Render() method to be simpler, and thus I ... Re-coded the clip.Render() method to be simpler, and thus I have fixed all the bugs related to resizing clips. Specifically, resizing a clip back and forth between simple-mode and complex-mode. Added a speaker icon and an eye-ball icon to the tracks and clips. The speaker mutes the audio, and the eye-ball hides the video. You can set those properties for the entire track or for a specific clip. Added many new icon images in the theme folder.	Jonathan Thomas	15 years ago
63	Removed the "length" property of the clip object, and replac... Removed the "length" property of the clip object, and replaced with a read-only length() method. Fixed all the code to reference this new method, which dynamically calculates the length from the start_time and end_time properties. Fixed bugs in the DivideClip() method, which is used by the razor tool. There were all sorts of odd problems, which resulted in slicing clips in the wrong spot, clips jumping to new locations, and extra blank clips placed around the timeline. Also fixed a bug in the get_blank_space() method, where it was calculating very, very, very small gaps. Now they are converted to zeros. Added a new logo.png and added it as the icon on the main GTK window. And now for the fun features. I added 2 new menu options when you right click on a clip. 1) Slice and Shuffle - cuts the clip into many small clips, and then shuffles them. 2) Slice and Cut - which cuts the clip into many small clips, and then removes every other clip. It's kind of a stuttering effect.	Jonathan Thomas	15 years ago
62	The Save Dialog now has a table with project type properties... The Save Dialog now has a table with project type properties (i.e. MLT profile settings). So, as you switch the Project Type dropdown values, it updates the table with the following settings: Width Height Aspect Ratio Frame Rate Pixel Ratio Progressive	Jonathan Thomas	15 years ago

For example, a few clips with some space between them wasn't working. They were all running one after the other.	Jonathan Thomas	15 years ago
60	Fixed the drag n drog code to adjust for scrollbar position.... Fixed the drag n drog code to adjust for scrollbar position. For example, if you are scrolled vertically or horizontal in the timeline, and then drag n drop a clip, it would always start at 0,0 on the timeline (which was not even in the viewable area sometimes). Now, it starts in the viewable area, based on the scrollbar positions. Also, added new Zoom In and Zoom Out buttons to the toolbar, to offer a quicker way to zoom in and out, without having to grab the zoom slider. However, if you want to quickly zoom all the way out... or all the way in, the slider bar is the better tool. Fixed the default item in the file tree (i.e. the "Choose a Video to begin" item) to not throw an error when you drag it over the timeline. The timeline just ignores it, since it doesn't have a real file associated with it. Added the OpenShot logo as the main window's icon. It's a nice touch, and it makes OpenShot feel more like a real program now. Ahhh... the simple things in life.	Jonathan Thomas	15 years ago
59	Fixed a bug in the MLT video thread, that caused an out of c... Fixed a bug in the MLT video thread, that caused an out of control recursive loop with GTK events. Apparently, returning true on this method made GTK's signal system go crazy. This was causing unusually high CPU utilization, and the Python process would never return to 0 CPU after you clicked "Play". Also, laid the plumbing to support more export options. Also, I upped the bit rate on the default video exporting, and the audio channels to 2, instead of 1.	Jonathan Thomas	15 years ago
58	Improved the audio mixing to equally mix (i.e. combine) the ... Improved the audio mixing to equally mix (i.e. combine) the tracks. Previously, it was reducing the volume of each track to 50%... but now they stay at 100% each. Also, added the ability to drag and drop a folder into OpenShot, and it adds all media files inside this folder (only direct children... it's not recursive).	Jonathan Thomas	15 years ago
57	Many more significant features were added today. Audio mixi... Many more significant features were added today. Audio mixing has been integrated, which automatically mixes audio from all tracks. So background songs and video clips' audio would all mix together and you would hear everything. The frames-per-second setting is now dynamically based on the project's MLT profile, which fixes lots of small syncronization bugs I've been having. This also fixes bugs where the video previes / renders didn't exactly match the timeline visualization. Now it seems rock solid. Also, fixed a bug with the transition IN and OUT properties, which caused some strange behavior, such as video audio cutting out. I re-arranged soem toolbars and menus to make them flow better.	Jonathan Thomas	15 years ago
56	MLT Profiles have been integrated into OpenShot. A profile ... MLT Profiles have been integrated into OpenShot. A profile sets the height, width, frames per second, and pixel ratio of a video project. On the "New Project", "Save", and "Save As" dialogs it now has a dropdown for profile, and has an initial set of 40 profiles. Also, fixed the thumbnail and video threads to be aware when a project changes, so they know the new thumbnail location, etc... Also, I fixed many bugs with Saving and Opening projects... and not loosing their associated thumbnail images. Added "Make Movie" feature to the main menu and toolbar, and changed the icon to the gtk-media-record icon. It creates a MPEG file of your video project... to the folder where you're project is saved.	Jonathan Thomas	15 years ago
55	Fixed a bug with thumbnails for images (such as png, svg, an... Fixed a bug with thumbnails for images (such as png, svg, and jpegs). Defaulted the length of an image on the timeline to 30 seconds. Also, I added right click menus for the tracks and clips. Now it's possible to re-order tracks, remove clips, insert tracks above and below other tracks, delete tracks, etc... Fixed the default names of the 2 tracks that OpenShot adds, and improved the "auto-name" when a new track is added.	Jonathan Thomas	15 years ago
