Question: How difficult would it be to add some kind of API-support via a cpp-extension for JSFX/VideoProcessor? Would this be feasible in any way?

Reply on April 25 2022, 6:10pm:

It might not be that difficult but the nice thing about jsfx and video processors now is that they just work, and it'd also lock us in more. I do want to add GPU support for video processors at some point. Been preparing for that... 1 Comment...

Question: I have c++ extension in progress such as an interactive envelope based de-esser that mark possibe bad sibilants sounds on items.And some more productions tools that draws elements on arrange window. But on windows build appear hard flickering. After reading some cockos forusm threads, I realized that this cannot be fixed in a regular way. I understand that not quite legal but. Can I find arrange lice bitmap/bitmaps variables and draw directly to it? Or it so hacky/tricky/dangerous way?

Question: Can I use multiple functions for my variable? Like say string.length (for calculating length of your string). Can I use string.length.square.factorial() (I know it looks funny, haha), imagine I want factorial of square of length of my string?
