|
Lumiera is a non-linear video editing and compositing tool.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
NOTE: as of 11/2025, Lumiera is in early development stage;
|
||
|
|
it is not usable yet. This is a preview Release of a
|
||
|
|
current development snapshot in pre-alpha stage.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Visit http://Lumiera.org and join the mailing list
|
||
|
|
when interested in Lumiera planning and development.

Lumiera pre-Alpha Versions
|

|
|
--------------------------
|
||
|
|
|

|
|
**This source tree doesn't yet contain a working video editing application** +
|
||
|
|
Rather, it contains the framework and technology core
|
||
|
|
of the envisioned Application ``Lumiera''.

As of _11/2015_ (0.pre.03)::
|
||
|
|
a lot of long standing maintennance work has been done. The Project switched
|
||
|
|
to C++11 and in the end even to C++14 and Debian/Jessie as reference platform,
|
||
|
|
followed by clean-up of now obsolete workarounds. On the GUI side, we largely
|
||
|
|
made the transition to GTK-3, which lead to rework of our timeline widget, not
|
||
|
|
finished yet. This work also spured an effort the connection and communication
|
||
|
|
between Proc and the UI, which is expected to be asynchroneous. Due to the
|
||
|
|
limited developer resources, work on the Engine and Player part is stalled.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
As of _10/2013_ (0.pre.02)::
|
||
|
|
the data models have been elaborated and some significant parts of the session
|
||
|
|
are finished. Work has continued with time handling, a draft of the output
|
||
|
|
connection framework, a draft of the player subsystem and interfaces to the
|
||
|
|
engine and processing network. Unfortunately there was a considerable slowdown
|
||
|
|
and decrease in team size, yet still the code base is growing towards 90k LOC.
|
||
|
|
No tangible progress regarding the GUI and the backend.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
As of _1/2011_ (0.pre.01)::
|
||
|
|
the project has created and documented a fairly consistent design,
|
||
|
|
partially coded up -- starting from the technical foundations and working up.
|
||
|
|
The code base is approaching 65k LOC. Roughly half of this is test code.
|
||
|
|
The Application can be installed and started to bring up a GTK GUI framework,
|
||
|
|
but the GUI is very preliminary and not connected to core functionality.
|
||
|
|
The video processing pipeline exists only in the blueprints.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
As of _2/2008_::
|
||
|
|
the project has been separated completely from ``Cinelerra'', the parent project.
|
||
|
|
The Community, which at that time was largely identical to the Cinelerra-CV community,
|
||
|
|
choose the new project name ``Lumiera'' through a collaborative selection and vote.
|
||
|
|
The basic project infrastructure is up and running, and work on the new codebase
|
||
|
|
has started. We can show nothing beyond a test suite for some time to come.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
As of _7/2007_::
|
||
|
|
we started with the backend and render engine draft, some example code
|
||
|
|
complemented by several unit tests. There is a TiddlyWiki with detailed
|
||
|
|
design considerations and developer documentation and a UML model
