ARRANGE:

"Arrange" will be a tab in the Record activity which will allow for media generated in Record--photos, audio, and video--to be trimmed, sequenced, played, and saved. No precise controls for synchronization need be provided here.

Existing projects:

• Cinelerra. Can run headlessly on the XO. Can we get the playback window working? Theora support? Space considerations?
• Ogg/Theora Libraries. This library may be sufficently powerful for "Arrange"?

EDIT:

"Edit" is a standalone application allowing for import, advanced track-based sequencing, effects, and export of video and audio projects.

Existing projects:

• Cinelerra. Can run headlessly on the XO. Can we get the playback window working? Theora support? Space considerations?
• Ogg/Theora Libraries.

MIX:

"Mix" is a tool (part of "Edit"?) to auto-generate either a real-time stream or a file containing a montage programmatically sequenced and put to music according to user-supplied parameters (eg. pace, temporal linearity, consistency, etc.).

Existing projects:

• EISENTUBE is a python-based montage generator that relies on Cinelerra for rendering. Realtime? Save montages as text files?
