About:
MLT is an open-source multimedia framework designed for authoring and managing multitrack audio and video compositions. It provides a comprehensive library and suite of tools for non-linear editing, streaming, and playback. Its core value proposition lies in its flexible plugin architecture and cross-platform support, making it a powerful backend for video editors and content creators.
Key Features:

  • Cross-platform support (Linux, macOS, Windows)
