Commons talk:Sequencer

Bugs reported by Helder, Sep 20 addressed by mdale on Sep 20th

• I don't know if the "Published Sequence:" part of this summary is automated, but if so, I think it is good idea to make it a link to the sequence page, (like "Published Sequence:" in the example).

Added a link to the sequence page in r73420. the publish summary ( yes its automated)

• When previewing this comment, I get this erro (not related to Sequencer I think):
• From this talk page, if I CTRL-click at this the link Sequence:Wikijúnior:Alfabeto dos animais (and wait it load in a new Firefox tab), I get two errors:

These issues should be fixed in the latest version check that get mwEmbed:remote: r149 when you shift refresh, and let me know if any of these errors persist.

This is a great tool!! =)

thanks for interest in the editor and your bug reports :)

I've found some bugs:

• Currently the field "get media" doesn't accept a name like "File:B_is_for_Bat.jpg" (only http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:B_is_for_Bat.jpg).

Added a check for File:Key in r73343

• The keys shortcuts "Home", "SHIFT+Home", "CTRL+A", etc, and mouse selection, are not working at that field, making it hard to change the current value;

Fixed disabled selection in r73355

• It is missing a "(" after the message "Restore text editor ( It's highly recommended that you use the visual editor"

fixed.

• After changing the clip duration, it would be good to have some feedback that the new value was stored (in my first try I've changed the value of a clip and than clicked in the next clip and changed it's duration and so on... then I realized that it wasn't saved.)

It now commits your change when you click to edit a different clip. Also added an indication by listing the total track duration below video track and having that fade in and out for duration changes in r73356

• When trying to save the page first time, it wasn't possible because I got the following js error (so I've copyied the code manually to the source of the page and saved):

Opps, a regression for lazy init variable fixed in r73356

• When trying to publish, I get this another error:

That error should no longer be displayed. I test flattened your sequence. But I have noticed if I do a lot of editing then try to publish it sometimes crashes firefox... more firefogg testing is needed for sure.

• Currently it is not possible to see a diff like this (only if I disable the JavaScript in browser and reload the page). The diff should not be removed.

fixed in r73361

I just pushed out this update. ( once you shift reload the console should list r147 ) ... Let me know if you run into any other issues thanks again for your bug reports.

peace,

Bugs and Feature Requests

1. When looking for the source asset page of file that has unicode in its name like File:Spielendes Kätzchen.JPG It doesn't load it correctly and loads "File:Spielendes Kätzchen.JPG" instead. Check the second image in http://commons.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=Sequence:Cats&withJS=MediaWiki:MwEmbed.js. --Diaa abdelmoneim (talk) 06:49, 28 September 2010 (UTC)
2. There should be a bar at the video and audio track to show where the sequence is at while playing. (When there are hundreds of images in a sequence this would be useful.)--Diaa abdelmoneim (talk) 06:49, 28 September 2010 (UTC)

Working on addressing these issue, the timeline is a good sized feature, but its under development. It has to be written in a way that will support both the story board ( iMovie style ) and multi-track composting mode ( finalCut style ) which is part of the timeline efforts.

What's a "sequence" and a "sequencer"?

Maybe someone could add a short explanation to the page, explaining what a "sequence" and a "sequencer" is and what it means to "publish a sequence". Thanks, AxelBoldt (talk) 11:48, 5 October 2010 (UTC)

Have you checked out Commons:Sequencer documentation page? I added an intro sentence about video editors and link to the wikipedia article. I should probably link to this documentation page from every sequence page. Mdale (talk) 16:46, 5 October 2010 (UTC)

Bug with AJAX preview

I do not know which gadget has an error - but the error is triggered by "Add mwEmbed support" gadget.

be logged in

using monobook in current Firefox 3.6:

• ( 0. enable gadget: "Quick Preview" )
• 1. enable gadget: "Add mwEmbed support for Kaltura Sequencer, Video Playback, Firefogg uploading and the "Add-Media-Wizard". "
• 2. go to a random image page, go to edit mode and write anything.
• 3. hit the preview button (normally shows the preview over the edit window using AJAX) - does not work

"Fehler: $j("#editform").formToArray is not a function Quelldatei: http://commons.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=MediaWiki:Gadget-QPreview.js&action=raw&ctype=text/javascript&283y Zeile: 8"

using a different test account with vector and quick preview gadget off and Opera 10 is suffices to call a a random image page:

• JavaScript - http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Krzywe1.jpg
• Inline script thread
• mwEmbed:remote: r156
