PlugIns, where?

[guju]

I use Avidemux and VirtualDub2, depending which one suits better
for the respective purpose.
At VirtualDub I'm used to check for external plugins/ filters
if I need a special task, and there are hundreds of them.
So I am puzzled to not find anything for Avidemux now...
Where are them all?
No binaries?
But maybe sources (where?)...
I might build with CMake, mingw64, code:blocks?

Like Virtualdub, Avidemux can work with Avisynth filters via AVSProxy (Under File menu). Unfortunately, there appears to be little documentation on how to get this to work. I've looked into this a few times in the past, but not got very far. Will watch this thread with interest.

Maybe there is a misunderstanding.

I did not mean Avisynth filters
(Still you're right - access to the endless world of fine Avisynth filters would be great).

What a mean is filters/ plugins written directly for Avidemux
(https://www.avidemux.org/admWiki/doku.php?id=tutorial:writing_your_own_filter).

I can't find ANY of them - no binaries, no sources...

In-tree plugins:

A few examples of external plugins, very outdated:

https://github.com/mean00/avidemux2/tree/master/myOwnPlugins

There is no supply of external plugins for Avidemux, unless you write your own.

Thank you.

But - I have to ask - does this mean you are about the only one
who coded plugins and made them public?

No, absolutely not. Except of "stillimage" video filter and a couple of video encoder plugins (none of them written entirely from scratch), I didn't contribute any new plugins. Most plugins have been created by Mean, the author of Avidemux, with many video filters recently added by szlldm, both sometimes porting code from other projects.

OK, thank you then.

Still a pity the plugin API isn't used by many to provide lots of fine filters. 

BTW This the correct link to the newest documentation:
