LiveCode 8 Library Component: MLT Video Editing Framework

The framework is free of dependencies and probably quite easy to wrap as a component for LiveCode 8. However, on it's own it doesn't do anything. There are lots of modules that make it incredibly powerful but they do have dependencies, some of them huge, like Qt. The video rendering is via SDL, so it's not immediately clear how you'd integrate that with the rest of your LiveCode app. It might be necessary to replace that module.

If you wanted to write video editing tools in LiveCode this might be a good place to start. For other AV related functionality it'd probably be better to go for simpler single purpose libraries.
