A box filter for scaling down cubic and linear is much better than using impulse filters with the interpolated values at the floating point coordinates in question. If someone wants to improve the code in GEGL (used for rotations, scaling,

Synfig focuses on more cartoon based vector animation. What GEGL provides good foundations for doing is video editing/compositing with keyframed properties for filters. As mentioned in the linked article of this story - having an eco s

This relearning problem goes both ways. People trained on GIMP tend to find Photoshop annoying and difficult to use - because they have to relearn. People accept spending extra time and struggling when learning a new skill; and are frustrat

The work you might have heard about GEGL - is all about providing foundations for such non-destructive editing. The highlighted split-view / curtain preview in the blog post is implemented using these new capabilities provided by GEGL.

GIMP's new (though not actually young) engine - GEGL, contains ffmpeg frame sources and sinks, provides a good abstraction for creating interfaces better than GAP for animation or video editing - see https://www.youtube.com&

Blender's node system can do compositing and basic video editing. Another free software graph based/dataflow system that can be used as a basis for such video editing and fx is GIMPs new engine GEGL; this goat filled video present
