A very good plugin for editting video AVI files, where each frame of the video file is opened as a separate layer in gimp. But AVI must be uncompressed. This plugin does not demand opening of an already existant avi file but even you can create desired number of layers [frames] and save final file to avi. You can also set frame-rate for final video.

TIP : I suggest you open avi and save it as xcf, then make desired changes and save it back to avi format.

CURRENT VERSION 0.6a

[*] Linux and MAC OSX users will have to compile its source using gimptool, downlaod source here

http://registry.gimp.org/plugin?id=653


[*] Windows users direct download

latest version
http://registry.gimp.org/file/uc-avi.zip?action=download&id=5288

unknown version
http://schumaml.gmxhome.de/downloads/gimp/uc-avi.zip


I hope it helps

Very good... but I'd like to know what it does to the audio of the file? Does it simply leave the audio untouched or removes it?

Thanks.

Very nice question.

I think when it saves back the avi, it discards/removes the sound compeltely, because as far I know the cuirrent ucavi plugin just encodes the layers as frames of video.

regards

So we'll pretty much have to revisit the "silent movie" days, eh?

A couple of comments regarding the Linux version of this plug-in.

First, it is not really necessary because Linux GIMP (version 2.2.9) already provides support for uncompressed AVI (as well as any other format supported by FFMPEG or MPlayer).

Second, Linux GIMP does support sound files and even allows you to synch up your sounds to your video. There is no graphical waveform interface, but you can play back the audio along with your video and edit its start and end points.

You have to make sure they're uncompressed. Otherwise they won't open

So if i take the file directly off a video camera it will open if i do nothing to the avi file?

That is assuming my video camera shoots in that format are there any converters which will not compress it if it doesn't?

In all probability your video camera is sending the data to your computer in a compressed format (most likely "DV"). There is a program called "VideoMach" which will convert this compressed file to either JPGs or BMPs. VideoMach will read the file only if you have the codec for the video format installed on your computer (if you can currently watch your video then you have it installed).

You can read more about and download a free trial version (V3.4.1) of VideoMach from the VideoMach website. This version leaves a watermark in the upper-left hand corner of the converted images unless you register your download (about US$30).



There happens to be an older trial version which does not leave the watermark stain and you can download it by right-clicking on [this link]. EDIT: link no longer valid.

You can use Windows Movie Maker to dub the videos, if you want to! :h:

I have a very small avi video recorded from a webcam that when I try to opn in GIMP I get an error load handler IV50 not supported. Do you know if that is compress/uncompress issue as well? Any help is greatly appreciated!

Most probably. You should have the IV50 codec installed on your system (assuming that you can play the video in MediaPlayer). If you don't, you will have to download and install it -- I think it is available on intel.com

If the IV50 codec is installed, you should be able to use a convertor program (such as Super) to break the video up into frames (at least, that's my recommendation).

I have been looking for something like this, literally for the last two years. Mind explaining to me what exactly are the drawbacks of this program? I mean, does sound stay in the file if I open it in gimp? I could use this to make really cool home videos and the like, but I am not sure if I would be able to use it.

Dumb question - why are the layer names in bold with avis imported using uc-avi? Is there some significance to this or a way to duplicate it and/or preserve the boldness, or even a reason to?

Bold layernames indicate that there is no alpha channel associated with the layer. You can use "Video->Frames Modify" and select the "Add alpha channel" function to remove the boldness. It is more difficult to remove the alpha channel from a layer in GAP, but there is not much cause to do so either.
