MLT is a LGPL multimedia framework designed for video editing.
This document provides a quick reference for the minimal configuration, build and installation of MLT.
See the docs/ directory for usage details.
See the website for development details and a contributing guide.
Configuration is triggered by running:
cmake .
More information on usage is found by viewing CMakeLists.txt and the cmake man page.
Once configured, it should be sufficient to run:
cmake --build .
to compile the system. Alternatively, you can run cmake with -G Ninja and use ninja to compile.
To execute the mlt tools without installation, or to test a new version on a system with an already installed mlt version, you should run:
. setenv
NB: This applies to your current shell only and it assumes a bash or regular bourne shell is in use.
The install is triggered by running:
cmake --install .
