* WebVfx editor for titles; the titler should be an SVG editor with effects and candies, so writing our own does not make sense. See [http://kdenlive.org/videos/retitler.html] for a demo on what WebVfx can achieve. (Original comment by JBM: The titler's code is currently quite broken and hard to fix. Using [https://github.com/rectalogic/webvfx webvfx] seems an interesting option, it would allow to create titles using HTML, javascript or QML. For those interested, I created a sample title with the webvfx module that can be viewed here: [http://kdenlive.org/videos/retitler.html Titler sample video])
* Titler
** Keep a simple text incrustation tool, but call a full featured SVG editor for complex designs
*** Base it on WebVFX (allowing to use HTML, javascript or QML) to avoid maintaing our own MLT module? Here is a [https://kdenlive.org/sites/kdenlive.org/data/webvfx/retitler.html small demo] of what it can achieve
** Support for subtitles (or MLT module)?
* Timeline
** Automatic composite for clips with alpha
** Cross fades on same track (à la Shotcut)
** Quick switch individual/global proxy/thumbnails
** Synchronized tracks (ripple delete / spacer tool etc would keep track groups in sync)
** Copy/paste across projects
* Exports
** Kdenlive 0.x format
** OpenShot, FlowBlade, PiTiVi...
** EDL and other exchange formats (MLT module?)
* Effects
** UI for  keyframes relative to end or in %
** Apply GEGL/G'MIC/Blender effects (MLT module)?
* UI
** Shortcut matching other editors (Avid, Apple, Adobe, Sony, Pinnacle etc) => Get Hot New Stuff sharing
** Scopes as MLT modules?
 
* Alternative timeline view specialised on editing transitions (snapshot, just for demonstration; click for full size and see the SVG in the refactoring branch for infinite size):

More wishlist/ideas can be found on https://userbase.kde.org/Kdenlive/Ideas

Documentation

  • Workflow
    • What are the git branches used for
  • Code documentation
    • give big-picture views (explain to someone new to the code what it does, why it is required, and who it interacts with)

Refactoring

  • Break big classes into smaller ones (targetting the refactored architecture: Cutsomtrackview, Renderer...)
  • Replace XML manipulations with MLT API calls
  • Port UI to QML

The proposed architecture can be found in the refactoring branch in refactoring-doc/ – find some snapshots here (not updated, just to get an impression):

See discussion here

Done!

  • Port Kdenlive to KF5 (KDE Framework 5)
  • Write an OpenGL display. When this is done, Movit can be integrated.
  • Refactor ProjectManagement/Bin
  • Project clips effects, so e.g. colour grading is done only once on the clip in the project bin and not every time in the timeline
  • Render using MLT presets
  • Duplicate Title clips
