Re: LiveCode 8 Library Component: MLT Video Editing Framework

The framework is free of dependencies and probably quite easy to wrap as a component for LiveCode 8. However, on it's own it doesn't do anything. There are lots of modules that make it incredibly powerful but they do have dependencies, some of them huge, like Qt. The video rendering is via SDL,

Hmm. I thought you could still get URL "blah blah" on mobile and it would work. In fact, though the functionality differs slightly, you can use the load command on mobile too. Perhaps this would be useful? If you're using http urls, the only real difference in load between desktop and mobile, is
