    =======================

    Guys,

    I just tested the behavior thoroughly and concluded that it works just
    fine.
    It was probably not setup correctly by the openbroadcast.

    I have checked in animatedSmilFull.smil
    (~/src/campcaster/src/modules/playlistExecutor/var) file for a reference.
    It
    contains examples of animated smil sections (those that contain clip
    trimming and fadeins/fadeouts). It can serve as a reference for a correct
    setup. In a nutshell, timing for everything must be correct.

    For example if you have a clip of 20 seconds and you want to trim 5 secs of
    each end, that leaves you with a clip of 10 secs. This means next clip must
    start 10 secs after trimmed clip starts, but I think this part is already
    clear. More importantly, if you want to apply fadein/fadeout to trimmed
    clip, you must start them in reference to the original clip duration. This
    means fadein starts at 5 secs and ends at say 10 sec. Fadeout starts at 10
    secs and ends at 15 at which time clip ends too. I hope I'm clear, if not
    let me know and we can schedule skype or something.

    For a reference, here is a full xml of the newly checked in file:
