Newbie question about video effects

[barbapere]

I'm total newbie. I have installed IPP because i need it in one project I'm in at college

I'm making simple Video editing software, and my professor told me that you can use IPP to make Video tranzition effects. Is it possible to do this with IPP, and where do i find documentation about it. I'm killing myself for the last 2 weeks, and I just can't find anything in IPP about Video effects.

To make stuff more clear, i need effects ot transit from one shot to another, without sharp cut. Check the link for further info.

How do I do that in IPP

Hello,

IPP is library of optimized functions in different functional domains, including signal and image processing, so of course you can use IPP to speedup video processing, like video effects. Just notice that IPP does not contain functions like do_video_transition_effect. Instead it contain primitive functions, which you may consider as building blocks for complex algorithms, like what you trying to do.

I would suggest you to take a look on IPP sample package and namely to picnic application in image-codecs sample. This application demonstrate image slide show with alpha blending as a transition effect.
