Hi,

Forgive me if this is a very obvious question! I keep hearing that so-and-so software supports these plugins. What are they, and what is their advantage? Appreciate the info.

Freeframe is a protocole which defines a standard for the creation of video plug-ins that can be used in imaging/video applications. It is like the Photoshop plug-ins but for video. Also the protocole is not proprietary. Anybody can write Freeframe plug-ins and any applications can use them (as long as they write the necessary code).

There are many Freeframe plug-ins, commercial or free. Freeframes are not very developped on the Mac platform. However it mays change now that several VJ applications support or will support them.

Do not judge the performances of CI in Modul8 by extrapolating Pete Warden CI bridge's performances.

While it is a nice project, the main problem is that it forces CI to work in software mode due to the FF CPU oriented nature. In Modul8 CI filters are applied directly in VRam using the GPU (when supported by the graphic card), so it is a lot faster.

Unfortunately it is nearly impossible to integrate CI inside FF without a big lost of performance. It is a shame because it would have saved me quiet a bit of work
