  • VideoTimeline

    A timeline widget for video editing software.

    I like Kivy, it's great for a lot of things... But if I was to do this project personally, I would start with C++, Qt, QtAV, and VideoTimeline. The amount of work you'll have to do to get the equivalent functionality working in Kivy is... more than a weekend. I never used pyside2 though, so no idea about how hard/easy it would be to use QtAV ...

  • kivy

    Open source UI framework written in Python, running on Windows, Linux, macOS, Android and iOS

    I don't have any up to date info on that; afaik ffpyplayer is the most performant, but I don't know to what extent it makes use of OpenGL. There is a stagnated pull request for GStreamer OpenGL support (so I assume that it currently does not perform well enough for this use...)

  • WorkOS

    The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS. The APIs are flexible and easy-to-use, supporting authentication, user identity, and complex enterprise features like SSO and SCIM provisioning.
