- Video-effect and transition developers
- Worth noticing
- The host supplies bindings and a vertex stage; plugins provide fs_main and declare parameters and passes in the manifest.
Field notes
The example defines a cross-dissolve with an animatable ease parameter and a progress value supplied by the host. The documented signal path can expose declared MIDI 2.0 controllers or notes as normalized floats, with inputs sourced from an audio follower, hardware, or OSC. The project also lists a Rust reference crate and CLI, while labeling the standard draft 0.1 and unstable.
