Slideshow Creator is a GUI for creating, modifying, and previewing JPEG image slideshows.

With Slideshow Creator you can edit jpeg slideshows in a visual and fast way so you can reach a much higher productivity with dvd-slideshow.

The final result is a high quality dvd slideshow out of your jpegs!

This software is based on gambas so it shoud work on every Linux or U*ix like system where gambas is available.

You need to install gambas runtime or gambas gambas development ide.
I think it shoould work on higher gambas versions.

I was tired to make poor quality slideshows in VCD/SVCD format and finally met dvd-slideshow: it is a very nice program that produces high quality DVD slideshows from jpeg images. It has crop, kenburn andpan effects.

I made some slideshows but reliazed that I wasted too much time to prepare the slideshow "source": I needed a visual program to speed up the process of kenburns, crop and pan effects creation.

I googled the net but didnt find any souch program so I decided to create one myself: slcreator was born!

How I did it? I built it using gambas: a visual ide with a object oriented basic interpreter which permits to create great programs in a "fast" way. I tried some other languages but I was not skilled enough to use them for this kind of project! gambas permitted me to realize the job in a very nice way!

Video Related Picture Editor is a gtk2 GUI frontend for batch-manipulating images using ImageMagick, MPlayer and transcode.

Its also the name of the infamous VRPE Team who paid me for hacking this together quickly because they needed it.

The name

Why "video related picture encoder" ? Because I didnt find a better name :) Any suggestions are welcome. With v0.1 the project was called "gFader" because all it did was "morphing" single frames to slow-down a video (giving a "fade-like effect") as batch-job with nice gui so poor Windows users could use it ;) My customer then wanted gFader to also do crop and scaling of multiple image files which rendered "gFader" as projectname useless. So i tried to make up some general name, which still fits if the application-range grows.

What can it do?

VRPE is able to do batch image-processing on a large set of images providing a way to move between images and giving a preview of the current, the previous and the next frame all with a nice GUI.

Different effects can be applied to the image-set (e.g morph, crop). Some of the effects support variable parameters so an effect can change with the image position.

VRPE can load several image formats (the ones supported by gtk2 and ImageMagick) or can convert almost any video to single frames using mplayer. It exports single images but also can render a videofile using mencoder or transcode. You can even launch mplayer to look at what youve done.

Other Features are:

Tooltip explainations almost everywhere
Nice wiki
quite fast

Drawbacks at this time:

lousy hacked together code
somewhat static filename handling
no "project" cababilities (images from previous sessions get imported if directory is not cleared etc.)
morph-curve gets lost
many more...
