Drag and drop is going to be one of the main ways for editing (at least to begin with). If you want to preview a clip, you can drag it to the monitor, if you want to put a clip on the timeline, you drag it to the timeline. If you want move a clip around on the timeline, you'll drag it around. If you want to preview a clip in an external movie viewer, you drag the clip to that viewer. > > > * Re-implement the aRts code that I took out because it didn't work in > > KDE 2 :-) Basically, this will turn the monitor window into a mp3/wav/ogg > > player. > > That's good, what is aRts? aRts is the sound & audio framework for KDE. It let's you do all of the stuff that we've basically discussed here for video, but for sound. In particular : * Support for multiple formats, such as Ogg, Mp3, Wav, etc. * Effects are modularised and can be plugged into each other in various patterns to construct different things like flange, phase, echo, reverberation, etc... * Play back to ALSA, to OSS, to a file, to ESD, etc... The homepage is here : http://www.arts-project.org/ There is talk of making a video framework in the same gist as the sound one, but so far nothing has emerged. In the meantime though, there is a video player widget being developed around xine which I hope will be usable. for playback at least. -- Jason Wood I knew I needed a break when I typed <Esc>:q! to close konqueror
