cxx-qt VS gyroflow

My employer, KDAB, is building an excellent Rust binding for Qt: https://github.com/KDAB/cxx-qt

You can use cxx-qt or qmetaobject-rs. Or use Slint

Rust has several Qt bindings. The most popular are Ritual, CXX-Qt, and qmetaobject. Ritual is not maintained anymore, and qmetaobject doesn't support QWidgets. So CXX-Qt is our best bet for now.

Qt bindings for Rust also exist, although I'm not sure how mature they are: https://github.com/KDAB/cxx-qt/

We're getting closer, but you're still likely to run into missing features in CXX-Qt at this point. If you do, please report it on GitHub!

This is no longer required in CXX-Qt as of this week (https://github.com/KDAB/cxx-qt/pull/428). Next release coming soon.

From my understanding KDAB isn't trying to "replace" Qt. They're working on cxx-qt to make using Qt and Rust together much easier.

I second this. I wrote an internal Qt/QML app that ran on Windows, Linux, Android, and Raspberry Pis. We had ~20 Raspberry Pi's running this app in kiosk mode. If only KDAB/cxx-qt[1] were ready there, I would have done as much as possible in rust .

I am no videographer and only read somewhere about gyro-stabilization and https://gyroflow.xyz So maybe that's an alternative to that software. Just leaving it here.

You can get pretty far with Rust + Qt and I've been very happy with it, see Gyroflow

I need some math in Gyroflow for lens geometry and lens projection if you have experience with that

Rust has quite decent support for QML though. One of the really famous video footage stabilizer apps uses Rust with QML: https://docs.gyroflow.xyz/app/technical-details/used-technol..., and that is a non trivial UI: https://gyroflow.xyz/

I think you would get the same result if you just recorded a regular video (at whatever resolution you want and a minimal framerate), then pass it through something like Gyroflow and increase the speed. Downside — it’s not automatic and you can’t preview on the camera. Upside — it won’t overheat you have more options to tweak after the fact.

My buddy and I have been playing with Gyroflow (free and open source) for stabilization. It uses the A7C's gyro data to smooth out handheld footage. There are a ton of options to play with, too - much more to work with than Resolve, which is what we had been using. We've had solid results on the A7C and excellent results with the BMPCC6K.

Maybe it wouldn't be a bad idea to dig into the Gyroflow's sources.

You can convert that data into a CSV using Gyroflow in combination with this Python script.
