Hi all, I've written a first version of a design document on the wiki: https://wiki.blender.org/index.php/User:LSutic/Blender_360_Effects The development process tells me to "Do the actual coding :)" now, but I kind of suspect I should wait for feedback on the design doc first... /LS

[Bf-committers] Adding 360 Video Tools to VSE

2018-02-14 Thread Leo Sutic
Hi all, I have been experimenting with 360 video and Blender, and have developed two effect strips for the VSE that I think could be useful. I would like to take this to the next step in the development process, which is to write a wiki page with the project proposal. I'd like to have a

Ton, libavcodec *is* FFmpeg. (Or part of it, anyway.) The problem that is claimed is that libfaac is included in Blender's version of libavcodec that is distributed with Blender 2.49. The solution is to compile FFmpeg / libavcodec without libfaac. (Throwing out x264 is not an option, as libfaac

Carl and everyone else, I've done some checking of the FFmpeg integration in Blender 2.49b. I came up with the following: I can confirm that the default configuration for compiling FFmpeg into Blender has --enable-gpl set and no --enable-nonfree. So it *ought* to be all right. It is linked

If anybody knows which posts in the blender's bugtracker user chaos means, I can try to help (although I am very bad in using libavcodec outside of FFmpeg/MPlayer). I didn't find anything remotely similar, but perhaps you know what he is talking about. On Fri, 7 Jan 2011, Leo Sutic wrote: Carl

Hi Peter, you raise some very good points, and I'll have to go back to the drawing board for a moment. For example: How do you play a movie backwards? Not easy with a next()-style interface. It's going to take a little while, though, because the next() style interface makes some other things
