## Closing credits
-* Brief explanation: For [end credits](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Closing_credits) and other advanced
text display, we could use the new [GStreamer WPE](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=no7rvUk8GqM) element in
[gst-plugins-bad](https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/gstreamer/gst-plugins-bad/tree/master/ext/wpe), which can
display an HTML page as a video element. The first task would be to create a scroll mechanism by extending
the GStreamer navigation event API with a scroll event type, and adding support in GstWPE. As GstWPE is a
live source it does not allow seeking (getting frames at random positions), so the second task would be to
add logic in Pitivi for creating an HQ proxy file out of the page being scrolled, which can be used in the
project timeline as any other video clip. The third part would be a simple UI in Pitivi for easily creating
the closing credits HTML, and managing the proxy file.
-* Requirements: C, Python. Minimal experience contributing to Pitivi.

HTML page. The resulting file can be used in the project timeline as any other video clip. You'd have to
extend the UI with a new
[perspective](https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/pitivi/blob/master/pitivi/perspective.py) for managing the
closing credits HTML, and the corresponding video files.
