The problem is: Cinelerra doesn't have "an user interface" in the way you may imagine. There is an hand-written GUI toolkit called "guicast", which of course hasn't recieved this much challenge and testing as the code of QT or GTK. Imagine the rest of the code being a cloud, with parts being more concerned with the UI and parts more with rendering. Quite some part of the application logic is contained in classes derived directly from guicast base classes, which means you would have to reverse engineer all of them. Just then to find that the functionality below is bound to work the way it does but rather doesn't provide much room for adapting it to varying requirements. Thus, if you want to change or revamp just a tiny bit of the behaviour, you soon find yourself changing and possibly breaking quite some part of the source base (which, btw, is really huge). Btw, do you know PiTiVi, which is written using Python and GStreamer? http://www.pitivi.org/ cheers, Hermann V. _______________________________________________ Cinelerra mailing list [email protected] https://init.linpro.no/mailman/skolelinux.no/listinfo/cinelerra
