Hi,

Is there a sane way to perform, with the various yuv4mpegpipe-based
tools, something comparable to the keyframe-based automation found in
graphical video editors such as Cinelerra?

The only (insane) way I can think of is to:
 - determine start and end points (keyframes) of automated transition
 - determine a function which interpolates settings between these
   keyframes
 - break up the set of frames into short sequences, for which the
   settings are the same
 - for each subset of frames, run the required piped tools with
   the interpolated setting values

Example - given PAL 25fps video, start at normal zoom, then increase to
2x zoom between frame 100 and frame 200. This would require running a
yuv4mpegpipe zoom tool such as y4mscaler on one frame at a time, each
frame with different options passed to y4mscaler.

I'm worried that if I do this, the cost of having a tool like y4mscaler
starting and stopping one per frame, with different options each time,
will get totally ridiculous.

So is something like keyframe-based automation a totally crazy idea for
yuv4mpegpipe-based pipe tools? Or is there a better way than what I've
discussed.

Thanks in advance for your thoughts

Cheers
David
