EffecTV is a Linux-based real-time software video effect processor, created by Kentaro Fukuchi. It contains 46 effects meant to work with video formats, as well as live input. [1]
Two major versions of EffecTV exist; 0.3.11 and 0.9.
- 0.3.11 was released in 2006 and is the last "standard" version. [2] Most ports are based on this version - it even works on PS2 Linux!
- 0.9 was released (but never finished) in 2021 which adds more compatibility with modern systems, albeit at the expense of removing support for older ones. [3]
Ports
WinEffecTV
WinEffecTV is a DirectShow port of EffecTV to Windows by TimeCop. The port was last updated in 2006, and is largely incompatible with modern systems (10 and above). [4]
FFEffecTV
FFEffecTV is a 2008 port of WinEffecTV to FreeFrame by Jamie Fenton, allowing for all of its functionality to be used within a FreeFrame-compatible client. This allowed much more freedom to be used within video editors, like VisualJockey and Wax. A download link can be found here.
Like other FreeFrame plugins, FFEffecTV is controlled with variables. FFEffecTV has nine of them:
- 0 (eftv#) - Changes the particular effect displayed. Setting this value to 1 shows a "gallery" of each effect playing at once in a 4x4 grid; it can be scrolled with the E parameter.
- A - General parameter A, changes based on effect
- B - General parameter B, changes based on effect
- C - General parameter C, changes based on effect
- D aux - "Auxiliary" selection, does not scroll the gallery.
- E sel - Plugin selection in "gallery mode". Scrolls up from the bottom.
- F cmd - When set to a non-zero value, layers the selections of D and E on top of other effects in various ways.
- G go - unknown.
- H help - unknown.
