Minutes

Meeting called to order at 11:00am EST.

Technical Matters

  •  

    • Bytes param is in Silhouette; Paul Miller will add a PR

    •  

      • Paul will add an example plugin

    • Color:

    •  

      • Doug Walker left some great feedback on the PR; J-P will address

      • Gary has an example nearly ready (with text-drawing on the image to identify the requested and actual colorspace)

      • Pierre has concerns re: log spaces and 16 bit; this was discussed.

      • Action item: should we have a way for clip preferences to specify different color spaces for different bit depths? J-P will investigate.

      • Action item: host must send InstanceChanged if clip color space changes

    • Pierre noted that we should have a separate project related to color: color params don't have a well defined color space.

    •  

      • Maybe ColorParamV2: in a well-defined color space, with a transform function to clip color space

      • OCIO has a "color picking space"

      • Mikki: do we really have to deal with it? Discussion followed.

    • Clip metadata, binary data (bytes): issue 145 https://github.com/AcademySoftwareFoundation/openfx/issues/145

    • Metadata suite: discussion stagnated... please review, all: #142

    • It was decided that Byte params will be step animated, and hosts must support step animation for bytes.

    • Q from Pierre: should boolean param "optionality of animation" be moved to old, i.e. deprecated? Pierre will create an issue.

    • NAB meeting: Windows ARM: arm64 vs. Arm64EC. The EC variant will be more common

    •  

      • Gary will propose a standard change

      • Parallels VM on Mac kind of works for this

      • Theoretically, an Arm64EC host will load Intel plugins

Organizational Matters

  • We should plan to attend the ASWF Town Hall and/or Open Source Days event at SIGGRAPH. Pierre will be there in person.

  • J-P will moderate the next meeting June 4th, in Gary's absence

Misc

Meeting adjourned at 12:05pm EDT

Next month's meeting will be at the usual date and time. We will find a time for an upcoming meeting that works for APAC folks e.g. BlackMagic.
