Features

The main features to implement are:

  • Transition effects
  • Background music
  • Show image captions (optionally edit them)
  • Allow exporting slideshows as videos

Implementation

The implementation so far will be composed of Clutter for the slideshow and transition effects, with a plugins API for transitions and GStreamer for background music and exporting.
