Optimized for live video, this free plugin for Quartz Composer replaces the gaussian blur filter. Perfect for video editing, this plugin is efficient and easy to use.
As a free image processing plugin, v002 Blurs is a versatile replacement for the traditional Gaussian blur in Quartz Composer that's optimized specifically for real-time video. Compared to the built-in blur filters from Apple, v002 Blurs offers a much faster performance and consumes fewer GPU resources during playback.
The plugin achieves its quick rendering speed through a five-pass render-to-texture pipeline, which downsamples early passes based on the amount of blur you apply. It means that applying more blur makes the v002 Blurs operate even faster, allowing you to apply effects more aggressively.
Currently, v002 Blurs Quartz Composer plugin provides replacement motion, Gaussian blur, and zoom blurs, with additional interesting blurs on the horizon.
Installing the plugin is easy. All you have to do is place it in your "/Library/Graphics/Quartz Composer Plug-ins/" folder. Please note, v002 Blurs is distributed and licensed under the Creative Commons, Attribution - Non-Commercial - Share-Alike 3.0. licensing terms.
