    This is a fantastic idea! I forked [1] projectM a while back to work on a few modifications such as screen and audio recording (by saving raw framebuffers) and being able to select the active preset remotely from a web interface so I became somewhat familiar with the way projectm handles A/V input/output.

    I just took a look at ffmpeg’s video filter interface and it looks like linking the two could be doable!

    This feels like a much more elegant solution for recording frame-perfect captures so thank you!

    I’ll definitely be looking more into it.

    Everything you mention, I wanted 4 years ago. To solve this, I started writing a project called Drop [0] with the intention of making it possible to add custom visualizations through a plugin interface, providing plugin developers with tools such as separating audio into different instruments, and a decent user interface. I added a lot of features and basically finished the interface but never got around to finishing the plugin portion.
