Introduction

What is libges-1.0-dev
libges-1.0-dev is:
The GStreamer multimedia framework and the accompanying NLE set of
plugins for non-linear editing offer all the building blocks for:
- Decoding and encoding to a wide variety of formats, through all the
available GStreamer plugins. - Easily choosing segments of streams and arranging them through time
through the NLE set of plugins.
But all those building blocks only offer stream-level access, which
results in developers who want to write non-linear editors to write a
consequent amount of code to get to the level of non-linear editing
notions which are closer and more meaningful for the end-user
(and therefore the application).
The GStreamer Editing Services (GES) aims to fill the gap between
GStreamer/NLE and the application developer by offering a series
of classes to simplify the creation of many kind of editing-related
applications.
This package contains development files for the GStreamer
editing services.
