MLK 👑✨(Acrylic and charcoal on paper)💎🌟

…the Star Wars Sequel Trilogy is lucky it wasn’t released while Community was on. Someone might have gotten the bright idea to call it the Season Four, or “Gas Leak” Trilogy…

The last time I blogged about the Titler, I promised that the next update would be when we have some sort of a backend ready – and I’m happy to announce now that now we have some sort of a backend ready!

The QML MLT Producer

Testing

Find my MLT fork here 

Let us try to run it! Starting with something simple – take a sample QML file: test.qml

With the content –

import QtQuick 2.0

Item {
  Rectangle {
    id: rectangle
    x:0
    y: 0
    width: 155
    height: 160
    color: "#5cd037"
  }
}

After you have done building, run: melt qml:test.qml , we get:

and voila!

Which we can confirm (from running “qmlscene” on command line or from the Qt Designer Studio) which looks similar –

And we can have images with fancier text and images, like this one I recently tried creating –

Although it’s not at animations yet, this works well enough for our initial testing.

A brief explanation

qml_wrapper files handle the generation of the rendered images.
In order to render images, this file makes use of QmlRenderer which has endpoints to render a QML file into a given QImage.

producer_qml.cpp is the main producer file.

When melt qml:test.qml is run, the registered producer (in this case, “qml”) is queried and initialised, and then a QApplication window with the rendered frames is launched and played ( which is what we see )

I refactored a lot of code in the QmlRenderer library comparing it with the code in the last blog post, for the convenience of the producer. For starters, only one method needs to be called for rendering now – render(&image). The constructor takes cares of the input file and other params (height, width, format) are fed in by the &image param.

What’s Next?

Test this producer in Kdenlive and see if we can play “qml” files in Kdenlive. So far, there are some issues with mishandling multiple OpenGL contexts and threading, which we are looking into right now. And if that goes well, we can then start worrying about the interface. We will let you know how it goes!

Will we have the new Titler for 20.04?

We don’t know yet. If the producer integration goes without major hiccups, 20.04 might or might not be a feasible deadline but we hope for the best.

On January 20th, the Sun enters Aquarius for the next 30 days ushering in a month of expanded thinking, bigger picture ideas and larger than life impacts. It is a great time to assess the role you play within your community and in the world around you, whether you’re active or inactive within your communities you still play a role within them so think of some things you can do that have a positive impact and think of some of the things you do, maybe even without noticing, that may harm your community and the well being of the surrounding individuals. Be the mad scientist and tinker around with some new ideas and interventions; get in touch with your inner social justice warrior and take action. It’s time to get involved and get ready for this Aquarius season.

Music: Intro of “Y.M.C.A.” by the Village People.

[Video description: a restaurant employee walks up to the counter, puts a straw through the lid of a cup, and shouts “Order number 57, you forgot your drink!” And tosses the cup to a boy sitting at the table in front of the counter. The camera cuts to a different perspective, in the middle of the restaurant. We see the throw again, and the boy catches the drink and throws it to the girl sitting across from him, who throws it behind her, and so on. The restaurant is full of smiling teenagers. The cup passes through the hands of 9 customers before miraculously reaching its recipient, a boy sitting with his friends at the far corner of the restaurant. He stands up as he catches it and says “Thank you! Again.” /end description.]

Show Review

AJ and the Queen

So I have to say, that I LOVED the show. At first I didn’t like it because the Netflix Poster didn’t say much about the actually show but then I startet to watch it.

The show is so great. So much glitter and fun but also the truth of the reality. The most interresting storyline (in my oppinion) was the one of AJ. She really had a lot of character development throughout the show and she had such a hard life for a girl this young. Her decisions are mostly pretty dumb but sometimes she really does the right thing even if it hurts her.

Even the Musical parts were pretty good actually. But sometimes they seemed a little bit too long.

Even though the show had a lot of emotional up and downs and I am totally here for all that drama but the ‘bad guys’ were kinda annoying.

So I just have to say: Watch 'AJ and the Queen’ so we can get another season soon!!!!

The Story short without big spoilers:

Robert, a dragqueen, lost all his money because his 'boyfriend’ betrays him. AJ, a kid, ran away from her care family. Together they want to go to Texas, to find AJ’s Grandfather, because AJ got some problems with her mother.

I really hope we get another season.
