Excellent work so far Michael! I check your site every day to see your postings on your progress. I’m really looking forward to your release. This has got to be the most promising Linux consumer desktop application I’ve seen in a while. So far I’ve noticed you have PAL and Half-PAL formats, are you planning to add NTSC later on? Great work!!

This demo is absolutely gorgeous.

The application shows a lot of care for the little details, and has all the elements of a young application with the brightest future.

It was a pleasure to witness this development!

Fantastic! Thank you :)

Are you using gnonlin? Seems like there will be duplication if not.

Man, this is the best movie creator/editor I’ve ever seen ! Easy, neat, clear and good-looking. You rock !

Wow, diva is looking awesome! It’s progressing along so quickly it’s amazing. I have one concern though. It looks like you have a sperate tool for changing the in/out points of clips. What purpose does this serve? In practically every NLE I have ever used, both moving clips and changing their in/out points is achieved using the same tool. Having to change tools between these 2 very common operations could cause some serious slowdowns in the workflow. What is the reasoning behind this?

@Zarxrax: Yes, the current solution is kind of temporary. I’d like the tools to be grouped by how they relation between clips. So, for example, in a “free” mode each clip is manipulated on it’s own. In a “chained” mode clips are sticking together etc.

@rjw: I’m not using gnonlin for reasons mentioned somewhere along the lines of gstreamer-devel mailing list. Gnonlin is a low-level lib that extends gstreamer with timeline elements. Gdv is a higher-level library (higher-level in terms it’s more specialized)

@Renan: Sure, I just don’t happen to have any NTSC data around at the moment.

Hi Michael, glad to help in any way I can. Seriously, if you need footage taken on an NTSC camera send me an email and I can send you (email?) some brief footage I’ve taken on my NTSC camera. Thanks!

Great work!

The cairo integration look a lot better know :) Thanx for the feedback on your project.

Any chance this demo could be made available in some non-swf format?

http://mac.softpedia.com/get/Video/DiVA.shtml has a project that is also video-related with the same name so you might want to considere a change.

PS: Looks nice. PPS: One-click video archival + encoding to a seperate copy is a big plus missing from all the non-free solutions available to consumers.

I am really impressed. This program fills in such a missing gap for linux. Even better, your program show some really polished features, amazing for how young the application is.

i love the detailing involved….as user one will for sure find it easy and effective to use.

@Anonymous I tried doing it at some point, but couldn’t find a working solution. If someone points to me a tutorial/info about how this can be achieved, I’d gladly do that.

@Rob Caskey Jeff Tickle is working on the DVD export. Encoding to XviD is high on the “features to be implemented” list.

@Clark Endrizzi I must admit that (currently) the detailing is a lot on the “outside”/GUI. What I’m working on right now, is the “meat”/engine – to make it a powerfull platform that can be extended into infinity.
