“OpenFX is the work of smart engineers who focused on developing a standard for interoperability in the image-based software ecosystem. By allowing the same plugins to run on multiple editing, video processing, and VFX applications with little or no modification, OpenFX makes it easier for artists to access a wider set of tools. Leading software solutions including Autodesk Flame, Foundry Nuke, Blackmagic Design DaVinci Resolve and Fusion, Sony Catalyst and MAGIX Vegas Pro, Assimilate Scratch, Filmlight Baselight, Boris FX Sapphire and Silhouette, RE:Vision Effects, and others support OpenFX commercial plug-ins. By creating an interoperable ecosystem of plugins, OpenFX has become the reference standard for visual effects and video processing software creators. This makes it easier both for creative applications to support a variety of plug-ins, and for plug-in developers to support many host applications – reducing proprietary development and industry fragmentation. Originally designed by Bruno Nicoletti, OpenFX serves as an open, extensible C API that defines an industry-wide common interface between image-based visual effects plugins and host applications. First developed in 2004, OpenFX is a popular open source plugin standard that allows interoperability between image processing tools in the VFX industry. The Academy Software Foundation – the motion picture industry’s premier organization for advancing open source software development across image creation, visual effects, animation, and sound technologies – today announces OpenFX as its newest hosted project.
