MLT is an open source multimedia framework, designed and developed for television broadcasting. It provides a toolkit for broadcasters, video editors, media players, transcoders, web streamers and many more types of applications. The functionality of the system is provided via an assortment of ready to use tools, XML authoring components, and an extensible plug-in based API. This requires libdv and ffmpeg. libquicktime is optional but recommended, since it will be needed by kdenlive anyway. Additional optional dependencies are ladspa_sdk and frei0r. Optional: By default PYTHON=yes for openshot.
