help Mlt++ FAQ

Is Mlt++ a standalone nonlinear video editor?

No, Mlt++ is the C++ wrapper around the MLT multimedia framework rather than a finished editing application. Editors such as Kdenlive and Shotcut use MLT underneath while providing their own graphical interfaces.

What does Mlt++ add to the core MLT framework?

It exposes MLT concepts such as producers, consumers, filters, transitions, playlists, and multitracks through C++ classes. This lets developers build editing or playout software without working only through MLT's lower-level C API.

Which platforms can software built with Mlt++ target?

MLT is used across Linux, Windows, and macOS applications. Actual codec and device support depends on how the framework is compiled and which components, such as FFmpeg, are included.

Can Mlt++ render an editing timeline from a script?

Yes, a developer can construct producers, playlists, transitions, and a consumer programmatically, then render the result through an available output module. The command-line tool melt is also useful for testing MLT graphs without building a full interface.
