wipe transitions
Last modified: 2012-05-27 19:49:48 UTC
Implement fancy heart/star/poney/whatever shaped transitions, maybe with the gstreamer "shapewipe" element (and/or opengl-powered transitions maybe). This is more complex to implement than crossfades (which are done with videomixing so far) and less commonly required in prosumer/professional editing, thus lower priority. Anyone willing to tackle this task is more than welcome, however.
Initially I thought that this would need to be implemented by directly using the gstreamer plugins: http://gstreamer.freedesktop.org/data/doc/gstreamer/head/gst-plugins-good-plugins/html/gst-plugins-good-plugins-shapewipe.html http://gstreamer.freedesktop.org/data/doc/gstreamer/head/gst-plugins-good-plugins/html/gst-plugins-good-plugins-smpte.html http://gstreamer.freedesktop.org/data/doc/gstreamer/head/gst-plugins-good-plugins/html/gst-plugins-good-plugins-smptealpha.html But with advances in GES, this might be done directly with http://gstreamer.freedesktop.org/data/doc/gstreamer/head/gstreamer-editing-services/html/ges-GES-Enums.html#GESVideoStandardTransitionType
