I've used Lives at times under i386 OpenBSD at times except new
OpenBSD releases seem to frequently break things.  I've got it running
fairly nicely on my Raspberry Pis at the moment.  I built the x264
library and AAC, then FFmpeg by following the instructions at
http://www.jeffreythompson.org/blog/2014/11/13/installing-ffmpeg-for-raspberry-pi/

What I'm wondering about lately is plugins that modify the individual
images.  Is there a repository somewhere?  It seems like a generic
plugin could be written that calls ImageMagick's Convert, passing the
name of a command and a couple of parameters as needed.  I'm a wannabe
photographer so I spend a fair amount of time in Gimp.  I'd like to be
able to do histogram stretches to improve contrast in my frames,
compensate for shooting through a window by changing the black level.
Sharpen would be another for improving stuff originally on tired VHS
tapes.

By making it generic any of the Convert options could be used.  I'm
not a huge fan of them, better would be to drive Gimp or write
dedicated effects, but Convert would give a few dozen effects fairly
easily and flexibly.

Ah, the Raspbian ports version of 2.26 looks a couple years old, maybe
this has been addressed.  I mostly don't do video much or even watch
TV but I've seen what Adobe After Effects could do, even 20 years ago.
