+ frei0r is a minimalistic plugin API for video sources and filters. The
+ behavior of the effects can be controlled from the host by simple
+ parameters. The intent is to solve the recurring reimplementation or
+ adaptation issue of standard effects. It is not meant as a generic API
+ for all kinds of video applications.
+ .
+ frei0r plugins are used by several projects (e.g.: LiVES, Veejay, Open
+ Movie Editor, FreeJ, Pure Data Visual Junk Tools, MLT framework).
+ .
+ This package contains a collection of plugins.
