Fwd: ITP: ffdiaporama -- Movie creator from photos and video clips

[Fabrice Coutadeur]

Hi,

I found this program some days ago, and I've been able to create a
package for it. I checked the licence, and it's pure GPL-2+, with no
embedded copy of libav/ffmpeg, so it seems a good candidate to maitain
under that team.
I compiled it and generated some movies in Ubuntu. The packaging needs
some more work, but it's building fine in Sid, and I think that it
would be a good program to bring to Debian.


Any comments or volunteer to co-maintain it?

If you prefer, I can upload the package I have to Debian mentors.

Thanks,
Fabrice

   photos
 * Correction of the images and the videos during animations (luminosity,
   contrast, gamma, colors, etc.)
 * Transitions between sequences with definition of the transition type,
   sequence by sequence.

   for volume, fade in/out and passage in pause, sequence by sequence.
