Below you will a package of additional open-source FreeFrameGL plugins for Isadora, which will work in other FreeFrameGL compatible applications as well.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS:

  1. Download the TroikaTronix FreeFrameGL Pack for macOS and Windows.
  2. Follow the installation instructions in the "read me" document included with this download.

IMPORTANT: In this package you will find two folders: one labeled Recommended and the other labeled Not Recommended.

The "Recommended" folder contains the FreeFrameGL plugins we recommend using with Isadora. The "Not Recommended" folder includes older plugins we offered when Isadora did not offer an equivalent GPU enhanced plugin. Isadora now has native plugins that are usually more sophisticated than these legacy FreeFrameGL plugins. Please avoid using the "not recommended" plugins unless you have older patches that require them.

RECOMMENDED

  • FFGLAlphaToRGB: Video converter. Converts the alpha channel of a video stream to a black and white video stream.

  • FFGLGradient: Video generator. Creates a horizontal color gradient from one color to another.
  • FFGLHeat: Video effect emulates the look of the output of an infra-red camera
  • FFGLPanSpinZoom: Video effect allows you to horizontally or vertically pan the image while simultaneously zooming in and out.
  • FFGLSlider: Video affect allows you to move the image horizontally or vertically, wrapping the image around the edges as it does so.
  • FFGLTile: Video effect scales down and repeats the image horizontally or vertically.
  • FFGLTime: A demonstration plugin that displays the elapsed time since the plugin was activated in large block numbers.
