It's now added. If you do a make install of CVS as of now, you will get an extra menu called "Render", with a single "Export Timeline" option. Select it, choose a file name, and Piave will recieve the render message. > > then the sequence that Piave will recieve to render will be : > > > > <setSceneList> > > <!--Scenelist goes here--> > > </setSceneList> > > <render filename="rendered.dv"/> > > Ok, but don't send the scenelist if it didn't change since last send. At the moment, it doesn't. But I don't think that sending the scenelist at the beginning of a render will be a big penalty, not compared with the penalty of moving a clip around on the timeline. > > Good point, I had forgotten to keep that roadmap up to date :-) Once we > > have this "0.5" release ready, we'll have to take a look and decide > > exactly what kind of features we want in the "1.0" version, and what > > should be left for afterwards :-) > > This roadmap is very usefull, but do you really want to call the first > usable release 0.5? I'm not sure - are you thinking that it should be closer to 0.1 or closer to 0.9? I agree that 0.5 is pretty arbitrary now - initially, I was expecting to have some rendering capability earlier on (video but no sound, etc), with a 0.1, 0.2, etc. release, while as it turned out we are basically going to get everything at once when we put the last few pieces into place. > As I said I already started a small list with suggestions for the GUI which > I'll post soon.

The slider is already "snap-to-frame" - assuming that you can stretch the window wide enough to see individual frames! > At least I need a button step-one-frame (bwd,fwd), because with the slider, > the smallest I can get is 7 frames. This is essentially a problem with the control panel on the monitor - it needs some fine tuning controls. For the moment, I can turn the fast-forward/rewind controls (which are fairly badly thought out anyway) into step-forward and step-back, relative to the slider position. I am also thinking of adding a shuttle control for fast-forward and rewind. Note that I have implemented the <play speed="1.0"/> command and wired it up to the buttons, but the slider does not follow the video position - more on that in a seperate email. > I suggest, that until we have defined > the real VEML for container/video- and audiocodes, I just report the FPS > next to the duration in the reply to getFileProperties. > > <reply command="getFileProperties" duration="10.56" fps="25.0" ... I believe that I have still got a couple of hard-coded "25fps" values in Kdenlive, so I'll have to weed those out ;-) > Beeing able to step frame by frame would help me a lot. I'll add it now.
