RetroShade

RetroShade is a lightweight, GPU-accelerated image and video editing library featuring a Qt-based user interface. It leverages a custom build of OpenCV 4.10.0 for efficient media I/O and CUDA 12.6 for high-performance processing. Future plans include OpenCL support to extend compatibility to non-NVIDIA GPUs.

✨ Features

• Qt 6.8.2 UI: Intuitive and responsive user interface built with Qt.
• Custom OpenCV 4.10.0: Streamlined OpenCV build optimized for image and video I/O.
• CUDA 12.6 Acceleration: GPU-powered effects for real-time processing.
• OpenCL Acceleration: All effects are also implemented using OpenCL for broader GPU compatibility.
• Modular Effect System: Easily extendable architecture for adding new effects.
• Sample Projects: Includes example projects demonstrating various effects.

🛠️ How to Build (Visual Studio)

Prerequisites

• Visual Studio 2022
  • With Desktop development with C++ workload
• Qt 6.8.2
• CUDA Toolkit 12.6
• [OpenCV 4.10.0 (custom build)] – already included

Steps

1. Clone the Repository
   Open a terminal or Git Bash and run:

   git clone https://github.com/erfan-ops/VideoEditorBeta.git
   cd VideoEditorBeta

2. Open the Solution

   • Launch Visual Studio.
   • Open VideoEditorBeta.sln.

3. Configure Project

   • Ensure Qt and CUDA include/lib paths are correctly set in Project Properties.
   • You may need to adjust:
     • VC++ Directories → Include and Library paths
     • Linker → Input (e.g., CUDA libraries)

4. Build the Project

   • Set build mode to Release or Debug.
   • Press Ctrl + Shift + B or select Build → Build Solution.

5. Run the App

   • After building, run the executable from x64/Release/ or directly from Visual Studio.

📌 Future Plans

• ✅ OpenCL Support: Complete support added for AMD and Intel GPUs.
• Additional Effects: Implement more video effects such as sharpening, color correction, and transitions.
• Cross-Platform Support: Enhance compatibility with macOS and Linux systems.
