Well James, you're in luck. The short answer is, yes, yes you can. You should check out video at http://lang.video (you can follow the progress either on the blog, the twitter feed http://twitter.com/videolang , or on github itself: https://github.com/videolang/video . Alternatively, you are welcome to arrange a call with me some time so we can coordinate our efforts.
The (slightly) longer answer is: you can find the (private and thus unstable) bindings here: https://github.com/videolang/video/tree/master/video/private/ffmpeg; and my (very early) prototype NLVE widgets here: https://github.com/videolang/video/blob/master/video/private/editor.rkt. In either case, contributions are absolutely welcome. Bug reports are also welcome and very helpful. I hope that helps, and feel free to ask any questions. If you are interested in creating GUIs for Video editing we should also sit down for a chat some time. (Either in person or via teleconference.) Anyway, I hope you have a lovely day. ~Leif Andersen On Tue, Aug 29, 2017 at 3:57 PM, James <jbiomant...@gmail.com> wrote: > I have been working through The Racket Graphical Interface Toolkit > documentation to learn GUI programming and I thought I would do a small but > useful project.
