Bug 271751

This program could serve as example http://imagination.sourceforge.net/ it has the features the OP asks for.  Would be nice to see the program (imagination) in an KDE outfit or as a KIPI plugin if that is possible.

The transitions are nice as you can see them when going through the list.  Makes it easy to determine what transition to choice (it would even be easier to show them all on one page).

As digiKam use QtAV framework for video, we have now a suitbale solution to export presentation contents to video. With QtAV, it's possible to encode video frame through ffmpeg codecs, used in background.

New digiKam Video SlideShow tool based on QtAV/FFMpeg encoder.

The tool replace the older Qt4 kipi plugin based on ImageMagick and GStreamer which never
work as expected due to run time dependencies with GStreamer which are a big puzzle to resolve
and don't work under MacOS and Windows.
The tool permit to encode images as a video diaporama.
The tool support many video codecs as X264 or MPEG4 provided by FFMpeg and
is able to store stream as AVI, MKV, or MP4 media.
The tool permit to apply a transition effect between images (same effects than presentation tool non-OpenGL).
The tool permit to export image from current select or a set of albums selection (as HTMLGallery tool).
The tool do not permit to encode an audio soundtrack with the video stream due a bug in QtAV which
have been reported and must be fixed in next QtAV release 1.12.0.
The tool is available currently under digiKam album GUI, but it will be also available into
ImageEditor, LightTable, and Showfoto (as HTMLGallery, Panorama, Calendar, etc... tools.)

Gilles, well done.  Looking forward to have it available (some day)...

Hi Gilles,

that's a nice feature. Thanks.

What I was missing is a way to add some sound, especially since I didn't manage to get the presentation utility to play some mp3 tracks as well... (using openSUSE 42.3, KDE:Extra and Packman repos)

Cheers,
Pete

Video Slideshow tool for next 8.3.0 will be able to :

Render a sets of images.
Render a sets of albums contents.
Apply transition and effects while slideshow
To normalize video frames luminosity while rendering time-lapse.
To add audio track
To add OSD

Gilles Caulier

Gilles, thanks.
