Open Movie Editor weekly news
Weblog of Richard Spindler, Computer-Stuff, Developer-Links, Notes,
Playing around with the upcoming Node based Compositing Tool in Open Movie Editor. There are only some minor glitches to be fixed, before this will make it into the next release. The code as already in the public source code repository.
Have fun,

I must say that I’m getting more and more impressed with OpenMovieEditor as time goes on.
It may not be the best or the most advanced tool on linux yet, but it is the one tool I feel that is actually going some where and developing with usability in mind and not just “trying to be cool”

Would it be difficult to port your app to other toolkits (eg. gnustep)? Or is it tailored especially to the one it uses? Me too, I am impressed and it the first movie editor I could use with ease.

Hi,
porting it to other toolkits is possible, but it is some work, that needs to be done by someone.
The Advantage of FLTK is that it is available on OSX, Windows and Linux, and it is well supported on all those platforms.
Cheers

I would like to port it, but after checking the source code I think I am unable to port it, I am just a beginner. The objective-c syntax seems much more undestandible and elegant for me than c++. btw, gnustep aims too to be portable to the above 3 systems with a possibility of fat binary.

Hi,
thanks for your interest, but I suggest to not waste to much time porting stuff between different toolkits, because Toolkits are IMHO just a commodity, a bunch of buttons and widgets. In the Video Editing Space there are a number of MUCH more interesting problems, check out the CinCVS Mailinglist for interesting Ideas for Video-Coding:
The Discussion I started at:
Linux Video Editing Discussion
Could serve as an entry point to get into a creative mood, and eventually there you might come up with interesting stuff that can also be done by a beginner.
But above all, HAVE FUN, if you like expoloring different toolkits, do so.
Cheers

Your editor is propably the best out there. I wish it used the D programming language. But, I guess, you won’t change that now, as you’ve gotten this far?
Anyway. I hope you achieve your goals with it. It simply is amazingly responsive (the video playback and pause etc.). I hope I can do something as stable and fast as your program.
Best of luck!

Hi,
I’d love to use D, and there is even a rudimentary Port of FLTK (Gui-Toolkit I use) to D available, but I am just to lazy to make sure that D-FLTK is up to what I want to do.
Cheers
