Class VideoPlugin

java.lang.Object

de.grogra.video.VideoPlugin

public class VideoPlugin
extends Object

The VideoPlugin class connects the video export plugin with the rest of the GroIMP software. It provides easy access to default implementations of VideoPluginConnector and VideoExporter objects. Additionally the static method getInterpolationStrategies() can be used to get a list of available InterpolationStrategys. The method to create the export panel, throw the callback in the GroIMP registry, is located in this class as well. Last but not least there are methods for central error handling.
