We've released an offshoot of the PixelDroid project: Bunny!

It is a media (photo&video) editor for Android. It's *very* basic for now but the groundwork is there for bigger things!

I (@artectrex) have published a way-too-detailed blog post regarding the Bunny Media Editor, and how it came to be: artectrex.eu/bunny-media-edito

Website: pixeldroid.org/bunny/

I hope you like this new little app, please send feedback this way until I have time to set up a separate presence for Bunny 🐇

@PixelDroid @artectrex Love the idea behind Bunny, and am sorely missing a good FOSS Video/Audio editor.

I read the blog post and I am excited by the idea of extensibility by using shaders, but also a bit daunted...

Ideally, I would love to see more "basic" color correction and editing features... Would shaders tested in Shader Editor by Markus Fisch, for instance, but compatible?

How would it work for new shaders to be edited? Would you have a built-in GUI for edit/testing shaders?

@Brett_E_Carlock @PixelDroid there will be a UI to add or edit new custom filters, which can be tested on the current image.

At first at least, the shaders will have a simple function signature that is a bit more limited than what seems to be possible with the shader editor. Maybe at a later stage we will be able to extend that a bit, but there is a constraint that is due to how the shaders are applied in a layered fashion.

@artectrex
Thanks for the excellent answer!

I do not know any shader language (do Quake3 .shaders count 🤣), but would likely want to contribute boring things like White Balance, RGB channel sliders, etc if I can learn it.

As an aside, is changing format and resolution out of scope, especially for video? I use Video Transcoder by brarcher for downscaling, dropping framerate, compressing, etc to share outside of things like Threema that need small.

@Brett_E_Carlock @PixelDroid anything that you can convince me is useful and can be done using ffmpeg is in scope. Of course, this needs to be balanced with UI/UX constraints, and developer time in terms of how much additional UI flows need to be made is the main constraint. For example for the cropping 99% of the work was the UI for the cropping interface, adding the additional ffmeg call is trivial.

@PixelDroid @artectrex I have read your explanation about the libraries. It made me think that you might take a look at https://github.com/T8RIN/ImageToolbox/
To the best of my knowledge, this is currently the best open-source app when it comes to filters. More than 170 at the moment.

Here are the libraries, it is based on

@PixelDroid

Loving bunny so far and yes theres huge gaps for a Foss image editor.
You mention you weren't happy with the app icon, I'd love to put a few new designs together for you if you'd like? :bob_ross:

@RobCubbon honestly it kinda grew on me but it does look a bit silly

Always open to suggestions :)

@artectrex absolutely nothing wrong with a logo looking a bit silly!
