It is rework necessary tor the internals of Kdenlive, mostly invisible. It is necessary to further develop Kdenlive. A first visible change may individually resizable timeline tracks.

    Hi JBM, hi list,
    many, many thanks for the timeline refactoring. I've just glimpsed over the refactoring branch and seen a lot of work spent here. This looks great and I'm glad that refactoring is being tackled. From my own daytime work I understand the grave importance of this refactoring, not least due to some timeline editing issues we went through in the past.
    So, thank you very much for your hard work!
    Best regards,
Harald

      Dear Fans,

      Thanks a lot for your enthousiastic and valuable proposals!
      You're right it is time to line up for GSoC now...

      However mentoring students seriously takes time, and I really can't make this commitment this year.
      I really don't think we can expect help from others (very busy too)...
      We are looking what we can do with JB, but most probably we won't progress much in the wishlist until timeline refactoring completes...

      For the bug hunting, I think we should have more regular squashing days, last one was a good start!
      => poll following

      Cheers,

      Vincent

      Hi there. 

      Some ideas for the google summer of code:

      Customizable list of project defaults. Bug 369080 

      Bug 368801 - Wish: Able to do multiple clip jobs to one clip
Bug 368366 - Wish - Render .mlt files as a clip job, and add resulting rendered file to project
Bug 364269 - git master 2016-06-19, mlv video format supported, but not in list (This should be a ridiculously easy one to fix)

There is a long list of wishes in the bugtracker that can be a very good idea for the GSOC to implement. 

      Other than that, clean compilation without errors would also be nice, as well as running through valgrind and fixing all the memory leaks. 

:)

      Kind regards,

      Evert

      I would like to add "synchronize timeline with other apps" e.g. via midi clock or via jackd. Very useful to have a video editor able to sync with a real audio editor like ardour without import/export dance. Opens very new opportunities to art creations near to real time video mixing.

      Another feature would be more "live editing" features like seen on live video mixers, aka Video-DJ software. From what I understand all the capabilities for such a thing are already inside kdenlive code, it just means to create a different GUI mode to enable live clip and effect selection / looping and a good keyboard customization for a live usecase. Also this is very good partnering with the sync feature for creating real time art. Basically this "just" means not triggering certain actions via GUI interaction, but with keyboard and / or midi signals. Instead "file open, add clip, play clip" just "press o" - instead of "click on clip, add effect" just "press f" and so on. Maybe the actual implementation would be very similar to a "makro recorder" - what leads to the next idea of adding scripting functionally to make Kdenlive completely customizable and scriptable, like Blender.

      These features are not found in any other video editing software (free or commercial) so it will be a very interesting unique "selling" point for kdenlive. There are, of course, specialized VJ softwares, but these lack basic video editing features and mostly are not available with an open source license and are not available for free operating systems. 

      Thanks for your attention,
      have a nice day,
      John

      Ciao Massimo,

      Hi Farid,
I have a list of features I wrote some time ago.
Par of this list is our roadmap at today:

Refactoring timeline for acheiving:
- Advanced trimming features
- Single track transitions
- Multicam Editing
- More sequences nesting
and
- Mixer audio
- Secondary color correction
- improve titler

Then I have a list of ideas I'm collecting for the future, when all these fundamental feature will be already implemented:
- DCP export
- Slowmovideo integration
- Spotlight effects
- Rolling shutter compensation
- Stereoscopic 3D support
- 360 video stitch
- 3D Titler

I hope this can be useful.

      Great ideas and very useful indeed, thanks for sharing. I might be wrong but, I proposed those ideas thinking in something feasible both for students and mentors. We need to see who is available to mentor the students. I ask again if it would be possible to get some help from KDE devs for mentoring, can we ask for something like this? I was also thinking in asking if Dan (MLT, Shotcut) or Janne (Flowblade) could help out in some MLT mentoring since it would help all the projects. (Maybe they can even propose other features for MLT and mentor them under KDE/Kdenlive umbrella.) Again do you think that is a good idea to try to make it happen?

      Thanks for stimulating the discussion about it. In my opinion you have to go forward on the wiki.

      Thanks for your support, I will find some time to develop further some thoughts and write them on the wiki.  

      Cheers

Massimo

      Take care!

      PS

      I will join you soon in phabricator for some ideas for the refactoring.

      hello,

      i would like to know if we can start thinking on some gsoc projects for 2017. can any one of you mentor some ideas? if not, can it be possible to to request some help from kde for this? here are some ideas that we could try:

      -improve titler - easy

      -improve render widget - easy

      -fix movit bugs - medium-hard

      -mlt-edl module - medium?

      -mlt-openfx module - medium?

      -audio mixer - medium?

      -incorporate slowmovideo - medium-hard?

      -fix low-hanging bugs - easy

      if there is interest, i am willing develop the proposals in the wiki.

      cheers
