# autoEdit 2

autoEdit 2 is a fast text based video editing, desktop app for Mac, Linux and Windows, built with node and electron, and Backbone front end. For making video production faster, easier and more accessible.

## Ready to use release

See [releases section](https://github.com/OpenNewsLabs/autoEdit_2/releases) to download latest packaged version ready to use. And view [user manual](https://pietropassarelli.gitbooks.io/autoedit2-user-manual/content/) for overview of the app.

All you need to get started is to decide what speech to text service you want to use and get some credentials to get going [check out the user manual for more details](https://pietropassarelli.gitbooks.io/autoedit2-user-manual/content/setup-stt-apis.html)

## Setup

```bash
git clone git@github.com:OpenNewsLabs/autoEdit_2.git
```

```
cd autoEdit_2
```

```bash
npm install
```

## Usage - development

```
npm start
```

Compiles the js client side files with browserify and starts electron

_Note:_ You'd also need to get Speech to text keys or have the Gentle Open source app running locally [check out the user manual for more details](https://pietropassarelli.gitbooks.io/autoedit2-user-manual/content/setup-stt-apis.html), unless you are choosing `pocketsphinx` as speech to text option.

## Background

_How to run the development environment_
_Coding style convention ref optional, eg which linter to use_

## Tests

_How to carry out tests_

At the moment some unit tests are in the `spec` folder using `jasmine`, and you can run them using

```
npm run test
```

However they still need to be fixed up a bit. And perhaps move to `jest`.
