<nettime> frei0r video plugin collection

[Jaromil <jaromil@dyne.org>]

Dear nettimers,

Maybe of interest to some here, I've been maintaining the frei0r project for over 19 years now: a collective effort to document, make available to use and preserve as portable and interoperable as possible a free and open source collection of plugins.

The frei0r project welcomes contributions from people passionate about video effects. Its collection consists of almost 150 free video plugins made to work on any target platform (GNU/Linux, Apple/OSX and MS/Win) without needing special video hardware. Anyone can use these plugins to add a wide range of effects to video, such as colour correction, blurring, and distortion. People use frei0r in live performances, for video editing, in media art installations and even for medical visualizations.

The frei0r project is an excellent resource for anyone interested in algorithms for video transformation and effects. It provides a wide range of open-source formulas available for free and can be easily integrated into various software. Frei0r plugins are ready to use inside FFMpeg, KdenLive, Shotcut, Flowblade, Pure Data, VeeJay, LiVES, etc.  

I've written a retrospective about frei0r on the occasion of its version 2 release here:

I hope you enjoy reading it. I also did my best to refresh some history between important but somehow omitted parts of media art history like Piksel festival and Montevideo/Time-Based Arts.

ciao
