OpenVIP is a versatile Unix software for video processing.
The OpenVIP software is an excellent video processing tool for Unix. It has two essential parts, the OpenVIP core, and GUI. The OpenVIP core is written in C/C++, which can either be used as a standalone application for batch processing of multimedia files or a library linked with your code. You can specify what to do in an XML file. On the other hand, the OpenVIP GUI, which is written in Python, provides a user-friendly interface that uses the timeline concept. You can place multimedia files on the timeline and apply various filters and transitions.
One of the key features of the OpenVIP software is that it supports a wide range of multimedia files and codecs, including AVI, MPEG, and MP3. It uses libraries from the ffmpeg project to read and write files. Additionally, it is possible to read AVI files using native codecs under Windows. The software has a lot of nice plugins that include colour transformations, geometric distortions, basic sound processing, and transitions between two movies. Users can refer to the online HTML documentation for screenshots.
It is worth mentioning that the OpenVIP software offers a simple interface for users to include their plugins written in C/C++. The process is described in the comprehensive Developer's Documentation. However, the software also has some system requirements that users must consider. These include Python version 2.2.2 or higher, wxPython version 2.4.0 or higher, ffmpeg version 0.4.6 or higher, fftw version 2.1 or higher, ImageMagick version 5.4.8 or higher, libxml2 version 2.4.0 or higher and libxml2-python version 2.4.0 or higher. Freetype2 version 2.1.3 or higher is also required.
Overall, the OpenVIP software is a comprehensive video-processing tool for Unix that users will find easy to use while providing professional results. It offers support for different multimedia files and codecs while allowing the use of plugins to extend the functionality of the software. Its documentation is descriptive and offers detailed instructions, making it easy for users to install and use the software.
