graph-studio-next VS score

This is brilliant. A long time ago when I worked on Windows video apps, I used to use Graph Studio[1] to visualize the video graph comprised of countless DirectShow filters. It occurred to me multiple times that such a tool would be super useful for ffmpeg as well.

It really helps visualize your filter graphs, especially when building complex video processing pipelines. Too bad this is not open source... I'd be more than happy to contribute.

https://ossia.io uses widgets and qgraphicsscene for the main UI rendering and Qt rhi for the GPU pipeline, and it's performing well enough for our use-cases - I was working on it on a 1080p screen on a Pi4 recently and it certainly felt much much faster and responsive than chrome on the same hardware.

I use it for live c++ recompilation in https://ossia.io - all the code is in there. https://github.com/ossia/score/tree/master/src/plugins/score-plugin-jit/JitCpp

> I feel like visual programming gets a bad rap because of things like this. As an electronic engineer that used to love LabView and life long user of NI Reaktor and Max/MSP, those tools are fantastic if you don’t approach them with an imperative programming mindset.

aha, in the long run I ended up making https://ossia.io which is as VPL as it can get. Yet it still embeds a LOT of textual languages.

For me both VSCode and CLion lag heavily.. whenver I tried CLion it was completely unuseable on my project https://ossia.io which is only 500kloc (and I try to try it pretty much once a year since it was in beta)

https://ossia.io does some of it, I've been working on a new release that also supports the whole QtQuick stack in the node graph items but you can already combine videos & shader effects

In https://ossia.io with PCH, using clang, ninja, mold, and some artificial split in shared libraries for development builds, I get a compile-edit-run cycle of a couple seconds in general... I wouldn't say it's too much of a problem if you use the tools already available

If you're interested in multimedia https://ossia.io is always looking for new contributors!

Tools like Ossia Score, Chataigne and PureData (pd) can also help a ton in building interactive art and triggering other A/V software.

here's a simple example of how to do it in https://ossia.io score : https://streamable.com/wkklek
