Wow, this looks great and certainly a nice addition to the family of MLT apps! Congratulations on all of your quiet hard work.

If I am not mistaken, OpenShot just continually regenerates XML sending it into the xml producer connected to a sdl consumer. > As you can very easily see from the tutorial movies that are linked at > the project homepage, the main editing paradigm of Flowblade is very > different from both Openshot and Kdenlive.

Perhaps you could make mlt_properties behave like Python properties using dot syntax and add event handlers that return image and audio data objects to move away from embedding the SDL video window and facilitate a GTK+3 port. > > MLT rocks.
