Introduction
PhotoFilmStrip creates movies out of your pictures in just 3 steps. First select your photos, customize the motion path and render the video. There are several output possibilities for VCD, SVCD, DVD up to FULL-HD.
Requirements
To run PhotoFilmStrip you need:
* Python 2.5 * wxPython 2.8.0 or later * Python Imaging Library (PIL)
To render your own filmstrips you need:
* mjpegtools (for VCD, SVCD and DVD output) * mencoder (for MPEG4 (XVid) output)
Download
Packages are available at SourceForge.
Installation
The easiest way to get PhotoFilmStrip running is to download the deb-package from the Download section. On Ubuntu systems this file will be opened with the gdebi package installer. All dependencies will be automatically installed. After that you have a new shortcut named PhotoFilmStrip in your Graphics section of your main menu.
Compile from source
PhotoFilmStrip is written in the interpreter language Python (Version 2.5). It is not neccessary to compile the code to run the application. the folder named "src" in the source-tarball contains the start script "photofilmstrip-gui" to run the GUI front end.
Maybe you have already notice that there is a Makefile. It defines several rules to build a release package. The following rules are defined:
* make compile (default): to compile the python source to byte code * make pot: to generate a pot-catalog for the internationalization * make clean: to remove all generated pyc, pyo, mo and pot files * make install: to install PhotoFilmStrip into /usr (mainly used to generate a deb-package) * make uninstall: to uninstall PhotoFilmStrip
