Vidar’s Vobbly Video Editor
Here you'll find some show-off clips I've made with my video editor project.
The editor is entirely text based for now. You write a script to define frame sources, add effects, transitions, compositing rules, etc., and it spits out a new set of frames. I used FFmpeg to stitch the images together into an MPEG1 video afterwards.
Yes, I know that the shots suck, and that the lighting sucks, and that the fine actor (me) sucks even more, but currently I'm more interested in getting the software into a usable state. :P

I’m really impressed by your predator effect. Especially the first one: “Predator-like” effect. I was hoping that you would tell me how to create that stunning camouflage.
I hope you answer to my mail, thanks in advance
