Is it possible to make a video/image editor with Corona?

Thanks for your time ;)!

We have enough features to do color correction and such on images, but we don’t have a good way to do cropping/resizing. And we have no video editing features.

Hi.

What do you have in mind for video?

My impack plugin grew out of some tools I’ve been trying to make (for quite some time!) with the end goal of texture synthesis For instance, this was the underlying reason I decided to expose the pixel data itself, rather than feed it right back into a display object.  Said tools are basically a certain type of image editor, of course. (My original implementations in pure Lua were incredibly slow for any but the most tiny of images. Now my attention is starting to shift back toward the math side of things.)

Take a look at the documentation from that first link and see if the features provide some or all of what you want for images.

I’ve also explored FreeImage, which does have a lot of editor-friendly ops, but it’s quite an effort to build on all architectures and for the time being I think it’s just too much work to try maintaining two plugins with so much overlap.
