Video Sequence Editor

Strip Previews

  • Requirements: Proficient in C/C++
  • Difficulty: medium
  • Possible Mentors: Richard Antalík

Performance Improvements
  • Benefits: Updating preview quickly is important for video editing experience
  • Description: There are areas, that arent performing as well as they could. Examples are seeking in video files, disk cache IO / compression speed and single threaded image processing.
  • Requirements: Proficient in C, FFmpeg knowledge welcome
  • Difficulty: medium
  • Possible Mentors: Richard Antalík

Editing Tools
  • Benefits: More interactive tools that fits tool system make it easy to discover functionality
  • Description: Currently editing tools are designed to be fast, but if you are not familiar with what they do, it is hard to memorize them. functionality can be improved with drawing gizmos on top of strips that are edited, drawing previews of frames when these are useful for operation. Some editing tools use playhead as editing cursor, which sometimes is useful but it can be counter productive and more interactive approach can be used.
  • Requirements: Proficient in C
  • Difficulty: medium
  • Possible Mentors: Richard Antalík

Or the student can do a proposal of his or her own area of interest.
