Introduction

FreeFrame is an open-source image effect plugin system. FreeFrame 1.5 (also known as FreeFrame GL, or just FFGL) is a hardware-accelerated version of this plugin system that tries to do video processing on the GPU. This framework provides a simple, fast, version-agnostic objective-c interface for working with FF and FFGL plugins; the goal of this framework is to simplify the process of adding FF/FFGL support to cocoa apps. This framework is basically done- it's being used in a commercial application with great results and no complaints, and has been since early 2011.

I'm not a programmer, I just want the FF/FFGL QC plugin!

Documentation

VVFFGL is commented liberally, and also uses Doxygen to to assemble a high-level set of documentation to get you started, which you can find here:

What does this project do/include/make?

• VVFFGL.xcodeproj builds the VVFFGL framework. This framework is necessary if you want to build any of the other targets in this class.
• VVFFGL.xcodeproj also builds an FF/FFGL test application. This is a very bare-bones application, and it only works if you have FF/FFGL plugins installed on your system.
• FFGLQC.xcodeproj builds a Quartz Composer plugin (FFGLQC.plugin) that lets you load and work with FF/FFGL plugins inside Quartz Composer.

Hey, where'd all this great stuff come from?

VVFFGL was written by Tom Butterworth (bangnoise) and Anton Marini (vade), and commissioned by Vidvox. Enjoy!
