anyone know how to customize xfbench?

I wrote in another thread about this, but with not a lot of luck. I downloaded fxbench and it's great. The filters however, are suposedly customizable. I have no knowlege of computer programming. Is there an easy way to tweak these filters? Thanks.

I can't help you directly as I only use a couple of the FXbench effects which work perfectly well the way they are (horizontal and vertical flips). I notice Stefan has temporarily take off his FXbench manual for his site while it is being re-written. But I really think you would be better off getting in touch with him directly for pointers. He occasionally contributes to this Board, and has given his email address, so I am sure he would not mind your sening him a message direct. His email is burger.stefan@t-online.de

Sorry for replying that late, but I was recently faced with a lot of trouble (divorce, fight for children and so on...). Therefore I kindly ask for your understanding.

However, of course are all FXbench filters highly customizable as it is possible to directly modify the sourcecode of the filters. Of course this requires some understanding about 2D graphic algorithms and the programming concept.

As Ken allready mentioned earlieer, the manual is still not finised (however there is a rudimentary script).

Some of the FXbench filters have 'cutomizing parameter' that are variables where constant values are assigned at a early stage, mainly within the section 'For each frame'. Those are statements in way like 'dur=0.35' and similar. The appearence of a effect may vary in dependence to those settings.

It is possible to play with such settings to see what may appear different. As long as changes to the code are not stored to the so called 'collection file' changes are uncritical.

I really hope to find some time to finish the manual, but currently my priorities are very different for some good reasons.

Kind reagards,
Stefan Burger
