[CinCVS] Req: Cinelerra plugin architecture

2007-08-06 Thread David McNab
Hi,

My mind has often turned to the subject of plugins for Cinelerra, and
how to make this a true killer feature.

I'd like to suggest a change to the plugin architecture - allow
dynamically loaded plugins, compiled separately from Cinelerra.

I notice that part of Cin's installation is a directory
$PREFIX/lib/cinelerra, which contains shared libs for the plugins.

What would be great is if Cin could also look in ~/.cinelerra/plugins,
where this directory has a bunch of subdirectories, one per plugin. Each
subdirectory would contain the shared libs, plus any data files and
other stuff needed by the plugin.

Also, to have a Cinelerra SDK, which contains:
 - a template video plugin and a temporary audio plugin; each of these
   would be a directory containing autocrap files and heavily-commented
   source code; each of these plugin directories could also contain:
 - a README file which explains how to tweak the autocraps to add
   any required dependencies etc
 - the generated Makefile could have targets 'install' (which
   requires root, and installs to $PREFIX/lib/cinelerra), and
   'install-user', which installs to ~/.cinelerra/plugins
 - full documentation on the plugin API - all classes, methods,
   attributes etc - maybe Doxygen-generated
 - the ability for plugins to be compiled separately from the main
   Cinelerra source tree, and linked against a Cinelerra shared lib;

IMHO, this would strongly support and encourage more Cinelerra plugin
development.

What would also be great is a way to have a plugin architecture which
allows the ability to operate on Cinelerra as a whole, rather than
within specific audio/video tracks.

Such an architecture would allow plugins to be written to provide
scripting interfaces, remote control interfaces via sockets etc. Within
such an environment, a 'super-plugin' could see an API which allows
access to every aspect of Cinelerra through a set of objects, including:

 - querying the timeline - finding out what tracks there are, what
   effects/automations are applied to these tracks etc
 - importing clips
 - operating on tracks
 - doing renders
 - etc

Thoughts?

Cheers
David

I think it appeals more to beginners.

On the positive side, the developer's use of FLTK for the GUI is wise,
he has a very fast responsive interface. Also, having everything on one
window is nice. His window layout is very good.

On the negative side, it's not a patch on Cinelerra feature-wise.
Sure, it's easier to learn, but one would get frustrated pretty fast.

Cinelerra is well worth the time spent reading the manual, playing
around, scratching one's head and figuring things out. It's got enough
features to keep an amateur movie-maker satisfied for a long time; maybe
even professionals could find it quite bearable.

Cheers
David

[CinCVS] Anyone care to comment on class FFMPEG?

2007-08-06 Thread mark carter
I see that cinelerra/ffmpeg.C exists - but it does not appear to be
linked in file.C as a detectable format. This seems a pity, because I
understand it that ffmpeg can support a wide range of files and codecs.
Wouldn't class FFMPEG "solve" a lot of our file loading problems?

Comments?

I've been thinking about this. I might try to to a bit of
re-architecting. My problem is I know diddly-squat about threads,
processes, and IPC. And I'm thinking that might be a good thing. It
would be useful if I could separate out file loading. I also think that
file loading and file saving are two entirely separate ideas, so I'd
probably try to isolate them.

You see, the way I figure it is that the purpose of a loader is to
convert a foreign file format into a VFrame. I figure that if I could
come up with an intermediate representation of a VFrame - one having a
flat structure, then job of Cinelerra would be to interpret this
intermediate representation. This ought to be fairly easy, because the
representation would be designed with Cinelerra in mind. Debugging would
be much easier - there'd be no threading stuff. You'd run the program,
and "bam", it fails, so you look in gdb to find out what the problem is.
Maybe use valgrind to get a really good idea of what the memory leaks
are. Plus, you wouldn't have to compile the whole of Cinelerra, and the
functionality could be tested in isolation.

This idea has a number of other benefits. You could do something like
farm out the loading process to other machines. And a pretty printer
could be used to provide a summary of what's in the file for debugging
purposes.

It would have disadvantages, too - like more hard disk usage.

It's the whole question of being clever as opposed to not being clever.
Threads and suchlike are too clever. I don't understand them, and the
received wisdom is that they're a whole world of hurt. So my idea is to
be dumber, to try to isolate and modularise the problem; because at the
end of the day, a program that can't be debugged is useless.

Just my thinking.

[CinCVS] Pondering quicktime bugs

2007-08-06 Thread mark carter
The last couple of days I have been pondering bug 408:
Cine crashes when loading mp4 files. it doesn't with the same file in
avi.

The bug is reproducible, I just can't find out what's causing it. I'm
thinking that threads are complicating the whole issue, and I'm thinking
about ripping out some of the code so that I can test the file in
isolation. I'm also not sure about the whole C++ thing, thinking that
vanilla C would have been better.

I guess I'm not really asking a question, I'm just throwing my thoughts
out there.

I think this is also a good idea. However you don't have to worry that
much about the server going down, because it's a dedicated server in a
datacenter. But i'm just giving you the offer, If you want to use some
other system that's fine by me.
