Working on Video Filter

[ErichJason]

Hello, I am interested in helping VLC. I saw that there was a miniproject section on the wiki, and saw that a project was an "old movie" video filter feature that I would definitely be interested in creating. I have never worked with VLC before, and I think this would be a good starting point for me. I looked through some of the video filters on this page, to get a general idea for the code structure: http://git.videolan.org/?p=vlc.git;a=tr ... deo_filter. What would be the best way to attack this project? Any help would be greatly appreciated. I look forward to helping out with VLC!

in fact, the old movie filter was done:

Okay. Is there another filter type someone has requested that was not on the projects page?

[Jean-Baptiste Kempf]

There are many possible ideas. Look at the mpv or mplayer repo to get ideas.

I have been working on making my own filter, and think I am close to having it working. I am having some trouble implementing it however. I was looking at how the sepia filter fits into the code, and was trying to find out how it was added to the effects and filters ->video effects menu. I was looking in the modules/gui/qt4/ directory, and got into the menus.cpp, and also dialogs_provider.cpp. Where else would I need to add to the code? When I was looking at sepia, I made some changes to modules/video_filter/sepia.c that should've made the filter not work properly, but my changes had no effect, so I became confused as to where to actually look at the code. Thank You
