free unified framework for realtime video processing

|
:: OVERVIEW
|
|
|
|
FreeJ is a digital instrument for video livesets, featuring realtime
|
|
rendering of multilayered video and chained effect filtering directly
|
|
on the screen. FreeJ threats every video source as a layer, making
|
|
then possible to dynamically apply on each a chain of filters, loadable
|
|
as effect plugins and easily customizable. Layers are planned for
|
|
rendering of analog video input, digital movie files, image
|
|
bitmaps, sound scopes, texts and eventually more.
|
|
|
|
FreeJ is being developed in the hope to provide the GNU community with a
|
|
free, modular and highly customizable application to perform video
|
|
livesets, based on a GPL'ed framework that lets anybody implement his
|
|
own filters concentrating simply on the dsp algorithm developed and
|
|
furthermore to combine them over any supported layer.
|
|
|
|

|
|
++ filters loaded as runtime DSO plugins
|
|
++ layer filtering thru chainable dsp algorithms
|
|
++ MMX/SSE accelerated engine lubrification
|
|
++ efficient triple-buffered video grabbing layer
|
|

To run FreeJ is necessary to have:
|
|
|
|
- a working GNU/Linux workstation with a MMX capable CPU
|
|
- SDL libraries <http://www.libsdl.org>
|
|
- PNG libraries <http://www.libpng.org>
|
|
- NASM <http://www.kernel.org/pub/software/devel/nasm>
|
|
- XFree86 4.2 or latest, better with an accelerated videocard
|
|
|
|
Optionally, you might want to have:
|
|
- a video4linux supported grabbing card for live video
|
|
- avifile libraries for realtime AVI playback and mixing
|
|
|
|
For better fullscreen support try to add to your XF86Config file the
|
|
modelines in doc/x11.modelines.
|
|
|
|
:: INSTALL
|
|
|
|
Make sure you have all the required software, then just do:
|
|
|
|
./configure
|
|
make
|
|
make install
|
|
|
|
filter plugins will be installed into /usr/local/lib/freej (or another
|
|
prefix if you changed the default one).
|
|
|
|
For better fullscreen support you might want to add in your XF86Config
|
|
file the modelines included into doc/x11.modelines.
