Hello everyone, I would like to implement alpha fades with two video sources on a timeline, like it is explained at: [http://www.ocf.berkeley.edu/~brandon/wiki/index.php5?title=Working\_With\_GNonLin](http://www.ocf.berkeley.edu/~brandon/wiki/index.php5?title=Working_With_GNonLin) Since I want the fade to change along with the timecode, I think that a Gnonlin operation is not sufficient and I will have to use a GstController: [http://gstreamer.freedesktop.org/data/doc/gstreamer/head/gstreamer-libs/html/GstController.html](http://gstreamer.freedesktop.org/data/doc/gstreamer/head/gstreamer-libs/html/GstController.html) But Gst::Controller is not mentionned on the status page: [http://ruby-gnome2.sourceforge.jp/hiki.cgi?Status+of+Ruby%2FGStreamer](http://ruby-gnome2.sourceforge.jp/hiki.cgi?Status+of+Ruby%2FGStreamer) Is it planned ? Can I help for improving the binding this way ? By the way, please could someone explain me what version of Ruby/Gstreamer to use : the Ruby/Gnome2 one or the one from [https://trac.luon.net/ruby-gstreamer0.10/](https://trac.luon.net/ruby-gstreamer0.10/) ? I am quite lost because both SVN are active at the same time, with different changes… Are there two coexistent versions ? Thank you in advance, – Christophe B.

I’m searching for this too! But it seems like it’s not supported right now ☹ Does someone know more about GstController in ruby/gnome2? ---

The one on [trac.luon.net](http://trac.luon.net) is discontinued. Work on gst0.10 support there was merged/synchronised (feature-wise) with the gst0.10 support of Ruby/GNOME2 and is more actively maintained there. I will change the Wiki on [trac.luon.net](http://trac.luon.net) to reflect that.

I heard it shouldn’t be too hard to implement the GstController in the gstreamer bindings. But I’m not that handy with C 🙂
