You will need to refactor the producer into a class usable by either service. > 2) Enhance or reuse the Kdenlive titler dialog to create a custom kdenlive > title xml file The titler can already save to and load from a .kdenlivetitle file. > 3) Have Kdenlive pass the title xml file to the filter_kdenlivetitle filter > in MLT Currently when you load from a title file, it copies the XML and puts into the mlt+kdenlive xml project file - the filename is lost. You could make DnD copy the XML, but what happens if you edit the clip? It would have to recopy the XML from clip to filter, but it is feasible. If you remove the clip from the project, the filter will still have its XML. You could instead track the filename, but I think it will not work well because editing the clip does not save back to a file and probably should not. > Is that what you have in mind? yes > What other uses can you think of? Supply a custom image to the wipe transition. Supply a custom image to the forthcoming filter mask instead of using rotoscope. Maybe this is a bit too complicated for such a simple need. -- +-DRD-+ ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ BlackBerry® DevCon Americas, Oct. 18-20, San Francisco, CA Learn about the latest advances in developing for the BlackBerry® mobile platform with sessions, labs & more.
