[FFmpeg-devel] GSoC 2025 - OggKate subtitles support

[Gianluca Cannata]

Hi Nicolas,

I would like to add motion to subtitles like fading, scrolling, changing
colors and font size, eccetera.

Is it something that can be of public interest ?

If not, which mailing list is the most appropriate to ask support for
implementing such a thing ?

Sincerely

Gianluca
