I used claude AI (mostly) and bit of my own knowledge to create a basic multicam application that basically has a total 22 tracks at maximum (mapped from F1 to F12 then num0 to num9).
Basically hit record and change the tracks through the keyboard shortcuts.
There is one problem I need to fix however, the export (the idea is it takes whatever the properties are of the first track), till there it’s fine but when you export, it either can’t find the correct codec to export or if it exports the file is corrupted or 0kb (258b sometimes). I am not good at understanding those things about exporting. I have a deprecated version with a very basic interface and fewer features (no timeline seeking nor even a timeline at the first place ) and it exports just fine, the file will be uploaded here.
I will upload the python file of the latest version I am working on here and anyone who can help me is most welcome.
This is a totally open-source and free application that you can either find on resource page or GitHub when it’s available.
I am also looking to automate it to automatically add a clip to the playlist of any mlt file that you can define yourself (basically it will edit the mlt XML code to just add the exported clip to the playlist.
