Bug ID: 495897
Summary: Make kdenlive XML more friendly to automatic
generation
Classification: Applications
Product: kdenlive
Version: unspecified
Platform: Other
OS: Other
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: User Interface & Miscellaneous
Assignee: j...@kdenlive.org
Reporter: jez9...@gmail.com
Target Milestone: ---
I’d like to suggest that a goal of kdenlive be that its XML should be at least
somewhat friendly to automatic generation by other programs. I’m currently
writing a program to auto-generate .kdenlive project files in order to automate
the creation of some YouTube videos, and whilst I have been able to do it by
and large, there are some issues that make it rather tricky:
- The recent addition of “kdenlive:control_uuid” properties all over the place;
I don’t know what to set them to and if I omit them the project loading works,
but gives me a message that the project was modified upon opening, which isn’t
ideal.
- The “kdenlive:file_hash” on a sequence; I don’t know how this hash is
generated, and whilst I can omit it and it seems to silently generate one, I
wonder whether it’s really necessary.
- The fact that many timings seem to be slightly off. If I add a 5 second clip
to a timeline with a 60FPS profile, many of the “out” attributes are actually
set to 00:00:04.983. Not sure whether this is intentional or some kind of
rounding bug.
I’m sure some people here will say that auto-generation of a .kdenlive project
file is “not supported” but I guess I’m asking for it to be supported. Is it
that unreasonable?
