Hi all, This could be of interest to Cinelerra users, since Cin offers the option to render out yuv4mpegpipe video.
I've released an intial, alpha, proof-of-concept (but working) version of 'yuvgimp', which allows yuv4mpeg streams to be processed automatically in GIMP, one frame at a time. So from cin, if you render out as yuv4mpegpipe, and pipe through yuvgimp, you can have gimp edit your frames on the way out. yuvgimp works like the other piping yuv4mpeg tools, receiving a y4 feed on standard input, piping each frame into a running GIMP process, and sending the processed frames as a y4 feed to stdout. Included with yuvgimp is a wrapper script which starts up a GIMP batch process, embeds an XML-RPC server into it, such that this GIMP can accept frames and processing commands via XML-RPC requests (yuvgimp itself is an XML-RPC client). Writing your own yuvgimp processing filters requires a real tiny amount of python scripting knowledge, plus some willingness to browse through the available GIMP PDB repository. It's all pretty straightforward, and there's a simple but meaningful example included. yuvgimp is part of my 'y4m' python yuv4mpeg wrapper package. The whole thing is available at: www.freenet.org.nz/y4m Enjoy!
