Use of ffmpeg xfade filter for transitions and contribute missing ones?

[KuSh]

Hi,

I've been using your software and was wondering why you were not using ffmpeg's built-in transition effects as you're already leveraging ffmpeg for exporting.

You could even contribute the missing ones so it would benefit more people ❤️

It occurred to me after reading how-to-create-a-slideshow-from-images-with-ffmpeg

Thanks again for creating such a great project!

Best regards, KuSh

Hello Kush, Thank you for your email. We weren't aware of these transitions effects from ffmpeg years ago when we started coding Imagination. By the way are you a developer? I started integrating a timeline and libav support instead of spawning the ffmpeg executable in the background but I need help. Kind regards Giuseppe

That make sens!
I'm a developer but doesn't have much free time unfortunately. What were you thinking?

I need someone to help me complete the preview and exporting process with libav integration. Have a look at the GitHub code without commitment of course and feel free to ask me any questions please. Giuseppe
