Acid.Cam.v2.Qt

First download GCC with g++ compiler and make then compile on Debian install libqt4-dev and libopencv-dev via Terminal with

$ sudo apt-get install libqt4-dev libopencv-dev

Also install pkg-config

Then download libacidcam here https://github.com/lostjared/libacidcam Follow instructions in README.md

Then (on Linux) use ldconfig

$ sudo ldconfig

Next download this project via git clone or zip enter the src directory

$ qmake

Then to build project

$ make 

Then Run the program

This is an application that will allow you to generate video files/images with live video or video files. This is accomplished by mixing different 'filters' in different orders to produce different results. This program could be useful to you for generating basic artwork to be manipulated further. Also I have seen it used to create video for music videos or just for fun.

Cross platform version of Acid Cam written in C++11

To compile on Linux watch this video: https://youtu.be/ntsoGTglWzY

To develop C++ filters that the program will load dynamically see the example filter in the plugins directory. The program will look for two functions:

void pixel(int x, int y, unsigned char *buffer);

void complete();

pixel is called once for every pixel in the frame and complete is called when every pixel has been drawn.

The output from the program video file size can be very large. This is because OpenCV records at a very high bitrate. I usually load the file into Final Cut and share as H.264. You also could use Handbrake of FFmpeg to adjust the file size for uploading to the internet.

Currently program works best when ran in Video mode, I have not been able to test on host os of windows or linux, just a guest virtual machine. But in the VM webcam resolution is maximum of 640x480.
