From kde-announce Tue Oct 21 22:18:45 2003 From: Jason Wood Date: Tue, 21 Oct 2003 22:18:45 +0000 To: kde-announce Subject: [kde-announce] Kdenlive/PIAVE V0.2.3 released X-MARC-Message: https://marc.info/?l=kde-announce&m=106680517515108 We have the pleasure to announce the 0.2.3 releases of both Kdenlive and PIAVE. This release feature major improvements over the previous 0.2.0 release. Kdenlive is a video editing GUI for KDE. It provides dual video monitors, a multi-track timeline and clip list. Other features include customizable layout support, preliminary support for effects and translation into French. PIAVE is a render engine and effect library. It can read DV video files, render effects and transitions between input streams. Streams can be displayed or piped to a file. Any project can link against libpiave and use the provided features. PIAVE also provides a server application which can receive commands from Kdenlive. Editing in Kdenlive is possible with various tools via the timeline and video monitors, allowing you to move and resize one or more clips, and razor clips into two. All timeline tools can snap to clip start/ends and the current seek position. Kdenlive communicates via an XML based protocol to a render engine which handles the actual video data. Major New Features ================ - Dual video monitors - Customisable layout support - Edit using in/out points - Splash screen - Kdenlive Handbook (translated into French by Gilles Caullier ) - Suport for reading AVI DV files - Translated into French by Gilles Caullier Developer related new features since Kdenlive/Piave 0.2.0 : - Preliminary support for effects in Kdenlive. - Preliminary support for video format parameters in Kdenlive. - Plugin architecture for Piave. Some important features are still missing, but Kdenlive is now useable for small projects. We would like people to test what we have and tell us which features they miss the most. We want to find out what is most important to people, and last not least we want to attract developers. There are many small and not so small things where people could help. Be it GUI development, XML/network development, development of plugins, or simply reporting bugs. What you can already do : - Open files in raw DV and AVI DV format (e.g. from dvgrab) - trim / cut / arange the clips in the timeline - scroll / step through the project - play the project - load / save projects - export the project to a raw DV file What you cannot yet do : - control your DV cam and grab clips (supported by piave but not available via kdenlive) - import or export other fileformats - handle sound and video separately - effects and transitions are not yet configurable via the GUI which means they are practically not available.
