Description Martin Tlustos 2020-04-16 11:00:11 UTC 
The VideoSlideShow plugin isn't really optimal. You cannot set effects for each slide, cannot finetune the effects, and the effects stop before transitioning (e.g. panning stops before a fade transition). Also the export options aren't self explaining (what does 1200K mean to a non-techie user like me?).

PhotoFilmStrip can do all of that and is easy and intuitive to use. If something like it could be used instead of the old plugin, that would be nice.

Ahaha. PhotoFilmStrip is a python program, digiKam is C++. No chance. Project from github sound stopped since 2 years now.

In all cases, VideoSlideshow will be improved in the future, there is no plan to create a new one...

Still, in case you want to improve VideoSlideShow, PhotoFilmStrip would be nice place to look in what direction to go... ;-)
