Season of Docs

The Pitivi video editor is based on the GStreamer Editing Services library (GES). Various projects use GES to manage audio or video projects and export the project to a new file to be distributed. Pitivi is developed in very close contact with GES. Both Pitivi and GES would benefit a lot from better documentation. We’re applying to the Season of Docs program, where Google pays technical writers to contribute to open-source projects.

The Pitivi video editor is based on the GStreamer Editing Services library. GES makes it easy to manage the timeline of a video project and export it to a new video file, and is carefully built to be reusable by other projects, not only Pitivi. Since a few years ago, while not mentoring students for GSoC, we’ve been busy working on Pitivi 1.0, about to be released. A large part of this was spent on fixing and improving the GES library.
