FreeFrame
is an open-source, free, standard plugin format for video and VJs, an
open means of developing your own real-time video effects. It's
supported in a wide range of VJ and interactive video applications, and
even in big-league applications like Director and After Effects via a
wrapper. Even if you're not a programmer, check the participants and downloads page for a wide range of effects.

The SDK was released on Friday.
