I've just got gstreamer compiled and working - but really need some "gnolin" functionality on top of gstreamem. In particular I need to automatically assemble various clips into a new stream with fades between the clips. Pretty much exactly what Gnolin advertises to be able to do. Any ideas if this is possible with the current code - if not, what needs to be done? (ie. where should I start coding?) Are there other packages/plugins that might give me some non-linear editing functions. Another thing that I'd like to be able to do is "bluescreening" one video behind another as backdrop. Also I am looking for ways of mixing in static images (for text and logo overlays). </pre> </blockquote> <pre wrap=""> You can wait 2-3 years until Gnolin is implemented and stable or you can use Cinelerra now.

The thing is, that I have a bunch of DV captures (AVIs) and need to assemble them with wipes between and some bluescreening in the background. But the assembly process is supposed to run completely unattended (i.e automatic) and be fully controlled by a script that is created on the fly. So if someone knows if it is possible or how to "remote-control" cinelerra with simple text file - that's what I'd need. It seems to me that it should be possible as there is this multi-server option for rendering-acceleration build in. Cheers Andreas </body> </html>
