The design and implementation of an Open Source animation tool.

Assets Mock 1


Here's another portion of that extravagent mockup I was working on.

The tabs at the top act as filters on the content. It also displays information about each clip through the background color/border. Here, the green background means the particular media clip is on the Field, blue means the clip is new/not yet used, and the border indicates usage somewhere within the project. The unused/fielded clips will be given a bit of priority, and will tend towards the top.

This is a pretty rough design. I think there should be some visual indication of clip status (perhaps they could just be sectioned off!), but the specifics remain elusive.

Pretty much what I had in mind; the main difference was that I'd like to give all of the assets an equal-sized square to fit into (makes widget layout tractable if there are a lot of results), and putting the tabs along the left edge with the titles rotated 90 degrees (which GtkLabel has a feature for).

Add a button for switching between list view and icon view and it's ready. :)
