VLMC: schedule for the first release

Last weekend during the FOSDEM 2010, we planned to release our first technical preview of VLMC.
This version will be tagged as the 0.0.1 and will be made available for Windows and Unix.

The schedule:Mister cone

  • February 17th: Feature Freeze
  • March 3rd: String Freeze
  • March 24th: Release (estimated)

Some explanations about these terms:

  • Feature Freeze means that no new features will be accepted in the trunk after that date, only bug fixes and improvements of existing features will be merged.
  • String Freeze is the deadline where all the visible strings of the interface can not be changed. This ensures for the translators that they won’t have to rush during the hours that precedes the release.

Please note that this will be a preview and many key features will be missing (or even buggy).
In the meantime you can help us to squash bugs and send some patches !

VideoLAN Movie Creator: Cross-platform Video Editor

VLMC Logo

After 9 months of hard work, VideoLAN Movie Creator (aka VLMC) will be unveiled to the community during the VideoLAN Dev’days 2009 in Paris!

VLMC is a free, cross-platform, non-linear video editing software based on the famous VLC Media Player.

Made by a team of 6 students, the project started in March 2009 as an end of studies project and is now (almost) ready for its first public alpha release. Expected for early 2010, it will provide a new alternative for editing videos on Linux, Windows and even Mac.

Meet us and discover the new power of the cone on the 18th, 19th and 20th december 2009 in Paris.
