Introduction Manipulating and integrating 3D animation into
video shots currently requires the use of several independent software applications,where each application treats a different media type.
![Page 3: eQuinoX TimeLine Module](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062301/56815c64550346895dca7130/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
The Problem Domain Our objective is to build the multi-channel GUI Timeline
module to fully support and display user operations and integration of each channel in the timeline for the 3D Animation, Audio and Video Objects.

System Interfaces The software integrates both 2D video editing and a 3D
animation environment. The software makes use of the following:
OGRE – open source 3D graphics engine Microsoft DirectX – video & audio rendering engine

Functional Requirements Timeline Channel Functionality
drag and drop abilities of graphic objects (above or below an existing video), sound files and 3D animation files in the timeline window to create a new channel.
We need to also add and implement the abilities to add, remove, copy, lock, re-order, mute, disable and select multiple channels.

Functional Requirements
Timeline Object Functionality
Implementing drag and drop of graphic objects into different existing channels.
Implementing the ability to insert, remove, stretch, move, cut and select multiple objects
![Page 9: eQuinoX TimeLine Module](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062301/56815c64550346895dca7130/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Functional Requirements
Timeline Global Functionality
Implementing the Timeline cursor. When playing, a moving cursor should track the corresponding position on the timeline.
Implementing the ability to set in and out markers,
Expand and contract the timeline resolution (Magnify), save, restore and merge the Timeline.

Non-functional Requirements
Performance Constraints Should retain each engine’s original performances Saving and loading the timeline should take between 1 to 30
seconds Each channel should support any amount of objects The timeline module should support multi-timelines, up to 20
at a time Reliability
Importing various items from their original file format to the timeline will keep them true to their initial properties and values.

UC1: Load Timeline
Primary Actor: SFX Artist
Description: The user loads a pre saved timeline.
Stockholders and interests: SFX Artist: wants fast loading, no errors, operation does not
cause loss of existing open timelines (there can be more than one open timeline, but only one is active)
Preconditions: The eQuinox environment is open with an open project. The requested timeline exists and without errors. All of the timeline's objects exist in the project window.
![Page 13: eQuinoX TimeLine Module](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062301/56815c64550346895dca7130/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
UC1: Load Timeline
Postconditions: The timeline is loaded All of the timeline's objects are located in the
correct timecodes within their channel All of the in and out points correctly set The timeline is shown on the screen in a new tab.

UC5: Play Timeline
Primary Actor: SFX ArtistDescription: The user plays the timeline to view theresulting movie in the preview window.Stockholders and interests:
SFX Artist: Doesn’t want to wait for preview, be able to play the timeline or drag the cursor on the timeline and preview the merged channels at the cursor’s position during playback.
eQuinox: Maximum synchronization between the timeline cursor, channels, objects and preview window

UC5: Play Timeline
Preconditions: The eQuinox environment is open with an open
project. The requested timeline is active.
Postconditions: The preview window shows the merged channels
at the current cursor position.
