Exymen is an all-in-one multimedia editor that works across different platforms, providing a comprehensive solution for its users.
To ensure that Exymen remains an accessible tool for everyone to use, its source code is released under the terms and conditions of the GNU Library General Public License. The tool is based on a diploma thesis of computer science which aimed to create a Java-based editing tool for web-streaming lectures produced with the E-Chalk System.
Initially, the project's goal was to design a uniform GUI for the editor and to define data structures that could handle all E-Chalk lectures' different content types, such as sound, video, board content, and slide show events. However, the author eventually generalized the problem by providing abstract data structures that allow handling all kinds of time-based media.
Exymen features an open API, enabling developers to write plugins that fill the abstract data structures with different types of formatted content. The tool also boasts a powerful and dynamic plugin managing mechanism based on the OSGi standard to manage plugins effectively.
Overall, Exymen is a versatile, customizable tool that could revolutionize how users and developers approach multimedia editing. Its open-source nature, broad range of capabilities, and intuitive interface make it a top contender in the market.
