The days after Kdenlive+Movit was shown at fosdem, I have been trying to import the functionality with a smoother transition : implementing a soft check and disabling GLSL filters if unsupported... but I rapidly went out of time and let this work near the idea state :-( Movit integration as it is has impacts in many parts of the code (OpenGL context everywhere a monitor/renderer is called), whereas in OpenShot there is only a GLSL widget... the one JBM had imported in refactoring branch last year! Would it be a good option ? I think supporting lower end machines is still something to take into account : on recent gadgets (Atom, ARM Chromebook) I still would like to edit videos with my preferred sw! (up to who cares)
Anyhow, I see it as a very good thing that things change and go forward, polishing can come on a good working basis. BR to all, Vincent Le 15/03/2014 17:49, Steinar H.
