/**
 * SECTION:gestimeline
 * @title: GESTimeline
 * @short_description: Multimedia timeline
 *
 * #GESTimeline is the central object for any multimedia timeline.
 *
 * A timeline is composed of a set of #GESTrack-s and a set of
 * #GESLayer-s, which are added to the timeline using
 * ges_timeline_add_track() and ges_timeline_append_layer(), respectively.
 *
 * The contained tracks define the supported types of the timeline
 * and provide the media output. Essentially, each track provides an
 * additional source #GstPad.
 *
 * Most usage of a timeline will likely only need a single #GESAudioTrack
 * and/or a single #GESVideoTrack. You can create such a timeline with
 * ges_timeline_new_audio_video(). After this, you are unlikely to need to
 * work with the tracks directly.
 *
 * A timeline's layers contain #GESClip-s, which in turn control the
 * creation of #GESTrackElement-s, which are added to the timeline's
 * tracks. See #GESTimeline::select-tracks-for-object if you wish to have
 * more control over which track a clip's elements are added to.
 *
 * The layers are ordered, with higher priority layers having their
 * content prioritised in the tracks. This ordering can be changed using
 * ges_timeline_move_layer().
 *
 * ## Editing
 *
 * See #GESTimelineElement for the various ways the elements of a timeline
 * can be edited.
 *
 * If you change the timing or ordering of a timeline's
 * #GESTimelineElement-s, then these changes will not actually be taken
 * into account in the output of the timeline's tracks until the
 * ges_timeline_commit() method is called. This allows you to move its
 * elements around, say, in response to an end user's mouse dragging, with
 * little expense before finalising their effect on the produced data.
 *
 * ## Overlaps and Auto-Transitions
 *
 * There are certain restrictions placed on how #GESSource-s may overlap
 * in a #GESTrack that belongs to a timeline. These will be enforced by
 * GES, so the user will not need to keep track of them, but they should
 * be aware that certain edits will be refused as a result if the overlap
 * rules would be broken.
 *
 * Consider two #GESSource-s, `A` and `B`, with start times `startA` and
 * `startB`, and end times `endA` and `endB`, respectively. The start
 * time refers to their #GESTimelineElement:start, and the end time is
 * their #GESTimelineElement:start + #GESTimelineElement:duration. These
 * two sources *overlap* if:
 *
 * + they share the same #GESTrackElement:track (non %NULL), which belongs
 *   to the timeline;
 * + they share the same #GES_TIMELINE_ELEMENT_LAYER_PRIORITY; and
 * + `startA < endB` and `startB < endA `.
 *
 * Note that when `startA = endB` or `startB = endA` then the two sources
 * will *touch* at their edges, but are not considered overlapping.
 *
 * If, in addition, `startA < startB < endA`, then we can say that the
 * end of `A` overlaps the start of `B`.
 *
 * If, instead, `startA <= startB` and `endA >= endB`, then we can say
 * that `A` fully overlaps `B`.
 *
 * The overlap rules for a timeline are that:
 *
 * 1. One source cannot fully overlap another source.
 * 2. A source can only overlap the end of up to one other source at its
 *    start.
 * 3. A source can only overlap the start of up to one other source at its
 *    end.
 *
 * The last two rules combined essentially mean that at any given timeline
 * position, only up to two #GESSource-s may overlap at that position. So
 * triple or more overlaps are not allowed.
 *
 * If you switch on #GESTimeline:auto-transition, then at any moment when
 * the end of one source (the first source) overlaps the start of another
 * (the second source), a #GESTransitionClip will be automatically created
 * for the pair in the same layer and it will cover their overlap. If the
 * two elements are edited in a way such that the end of the first source
 * no longer overlaps the start of the second, the transition will be
 * automatically removed from the timeline. However, if the two sources
 * still overlap at the same edges after the edit, then the same
 * transition object will be kept, but with its timing and layer adjusted
 * accordingly.
 *
 * ## Saving
 *
 * To save/load a timeline, you can use the ges_timeline_load_from_uri()
 * and ges_timeline_save_to_uri() methods that use the default format.
 *
 * ## Playing
 *
 * A timeline is a #GstBin with a source #GstPad for each of its
 * tracks, which you can fetch with ges_timeline_get_pad_for_track(). You
 * will likely want to link these to some compatible sink #GstElement-s to
 * be able to play or capture the content of the timeline.
 *
 * You can use a #GESPipeline to easily preview/play the timeline's
 * content, or render it to a file.

   * This will be emitted whenever the timeline needs to determine which
   * tracks a clip's children should be added to. The track element will
   * be added to each of the tracks given in the return. If a track
   * element is selected to go into multiple tracks, it will be copied
   * into the additional tracks, under the same clip. Note that the copy
   * will *not* keep its properties or state in sync with the original.
   *
   * Connect to this signal once if you wish to control which element
   * should be added to which track. Doing so will overwrite the default
   * behaviour, which adds @track_element to all tracks whose
   * #GESTrack:track-type includes the @track_element's
   * #GESTrackElement:track-type.
   *
   * Note that under the default track selection, if a clip would produce
   * multiple core children of the same #GESTrackType, it will choose
   * one of the core children arbitrarily to place in the corresponding
   * tracks, with a warning for the other core children that are not
   * placed in the track. For example, this would happen for a #GESUriClip
   * that points to a file that contains multiple audio streams. If you
   * wish to choose the stream, you could connect to this signal, and use,
   * say, ges_uri_source_asset_get_stream_info() to choose which core
   * source to add.
   *
   * When a clip is first added to a timeline, its core elements will
   * be created for the current tracks in the timeline if they have not
   * already been created. Then this will be emitted for each of these
   * core children to select which tracks, if any, they should be added
   * to. It will then be called for any non-core children in the clip.
   *
   * In addition, if a new track element is ever added to a clip in a
   * timeline (and it is not already part of a track) this will be emitted
   * to select which tracks the element should be added to.
   *
   * Finally, as a special case, if a track is added to the timeline
   * *after* it already contains clips, then it will request the creation
   * of the clips' core elements of the corresponding type, if they have
   * not already been created, and this signal will be emitted for each of
   * these newly created elements. In addition, this will also be released
   * for all other track elements in the timeline's clips that have not
   * yet been assigned a track. However, in this final case, the timeline
   * will only check whether the newly added track appears in the track
   * list. If it does appear, the track element will be added to the newly
   * added track. All other tracks in the returned track list are ignored.
   *
   * In this latter case, track elements that are already part of a track
   * will not be asked if they want to be copied into the new track. If
   * you wish to do this, you can use ges_clip_add_child_to_track().
   *
   * Note that the returned #GPtrArray should own a new reference to each
   * of its contained #GESTrack. The timeline will set the #GDestroyNotify
   * free function on the #GPtrArray to dereference the elements.
   *

   * #GESTrack-s that @track_element should be added to, or %NULL to
   * not add the element to any track.
