Mason Filter (fun gmic script)

This script makes ordinary pictues into works of art

---

Requires GMIC, ffmpeg, imagemagick

Image filter: usage: ./masonfilter.sh <source_dir> <dest_dir> [<resize_dimensions>] []

Video filter: usage: ./masonvideofilter.sh <source_video> <output_filename> [<frame_rate>] [<resize_dimensions>]

Using on image batches:

• 1st (optional) argument is for source dir for images (jpg,jpeg,png,gif)
• 2nd (optional) argument is for dest dir
• 3rd (optional) argument is to resize image to widthxheight dimension
• 4th (optional) argument is to skip image distortion

example:

./masonfilter.sh will run against all images in cwd, output to ./modified ./masonfilter.sh ./sourcedir will run against all images in ./sourcedir and output to ./modified ./masonfilter.sh ./sourcedir /home/user/destdir 1920x1080 will run against all images in ./sourcedir and output to /home/user/destdir, nicely-cropping images to 1920x1080 before calculation. ./masonfilter.sh ./sourcedir /home/user/destdir "1920x1080" "skip" will run exactly as above, but will skip distortion steps.

Using on video:

• 1st argument is for source video (tested with .mp4)
• 2nd argument is for the filename (sans-extension) that you would like to put this out to
• 3rd (optional) argument is for framerate (defauts to 30)
• 4th (optional) argument is for resize video dimsensions, in widthxheight
• 5th (optional) argument is for filter overlay opacity, (defaults to 0.5; 0=no filter opacity, 1=full filter opacity)

It's kind of fun to take a large set of ordinary images, and run this against them all, you never know what might come out!

example:

./masonvideofilter.sh ./sourcevid.mp4 output 60 1920x1080 will split ecach vido second into 60 frames, will resize and calculate against those frames in tmp dir in cwd, will form these back into video of same framerate.

./masonvideofilter.sh samplevideo.mp4 output will work as above, but will default to 30fps, won't resize images before calculation (slower), to output.mp4

#todo- split audio channel and add back in
