Frei0r is a simple plugin API that enables users to add video effects of their choice. It is designed to provide a minimalistic approach to video editing while offering maximum functionality.
The purpose of frei0r is to provide a solution for the repetitive task of reimplementation or adaptation of standard effects. However, it is important to note that this API is not meant for generic video application purposes.
Advanced video requirements such as non-linear editors, hardware accelerated shader effects, and high precision video processing are not supported by frei0r. In fact, these are still evolving fields and even non-cross application plugin APIs have yet to provide satisfactory solutions for these issues.
It is important to understand that frei0r does not aim to compete with more ambitious efforts in the industry. Instead, it aims to provide a minimalistic plugin API for video effects.
Several video applications support the loading of frei0r effects, including Drone, GePhex, M�B, LiVES, Veejay, Open Movie Editor, FreeJ, and PDVjTools.
