QC GLSL shaders and movies I am porting some of Mr. Doob's ( via Inigo Quilez) plane deformation shaders in GLSL. I am able to get the shader working in QC on an image. However, I can't it to work on a movie file or with images from my iSight camera. I have tried putting the Video Input patch inside of a Render In Image but that did not work. Any thoughts or suggestions? Is this even possible? I am including a version of the patch. Thanks in advance.

Put a core image patch in between the video output and the glsl input?
I was testing something in 10.8 and it looks like this may be needed.
Thanks. I will give this a try and post my results.
Cheers,
Thanks! It works. It was as simple as you said. Vid->CoreImage (pass thru) -> GLSL.
I'm not sure why this is needed, but as I get more comfortable with QC maybe it will reveal itself. This seems a bit kludgy so I think I may just port the GLSL code to CI. Should be pretty straightforward from what I can tell thus far.
Cheers
Well, it really shouldn't be necessary. My guess is that something in the Video output isn't outputting it's image correctly; maybe it's lacking some needed metadata, or there's some issue with pixel format. Or maybe the GLSL patch has gotten overly picky about the sampler type that is input.
A core image kernel always outputs the CIImage type, so it kinda converts some of the image data. I'd recommend eliminating the color multiplier so it's strictly a pass through. I'd also likely recommend sticking with GLSL, but you should maybe try a/b-ing? I tend to find that the GLSL performs a bit better than Core Image, but if you're just doing some lightweight image filtering, it may not make a measurable difference. You aren't getting much of a toll by using the Core Image kernel as a simple pass through at this point.
Either way, please file a bug. Also, if you do, please reply back here with the bug number. (I'm going to file a bug on this as well!)
Hey gtoledo-
~embarassing~ I don't know how to file a bug. I googled how to file QuartzComposer bugs but could nothing solid. I will definitely file it if you can point me in the right direction for instructions.
