[Kdenlive-devel] GPU effects?

[Collin Kidder]

Hello, I'm brand new to both KDEnlive and this list. So, I figured I'd 
start out with really tough stuff first...

What are the odds of getting GPU based effects? Specifically I'd like to 
have hardward motion comp and deinterlacing. Adobe Premiere on windows 
can do this. It really makes DV video look a lot better. Eventually 
other shader type effects would be nice. I do intend on looking into 
this myself but to start me off let me ask this: Should this be done 
through an existing framework such as MLT? I think that a range of the 
current effects could be done on the GPU. Sepia, black and white, 
embossing, etc. Current day 8x and 16x PCI-E cards have plenty of 
bandwidth up and down to process 30FPS DV video in realtime.

I tried to search this list for prior discussions on this subject. I did 
not find much of anything. Is no one interested in GPU acceleration?

To be clear, I'm not really asking someone else to do it. I'll try 
myself. But any pointers toward where to look, what should be possible, 
etc would be appreciated.
