TL;DR, please give me download link and system demands
* A C++98 compiler. GCC will do. (I haven't tried Windows, but it
works fine on Linux and OS X, and Movit is not very POSIX-bound.)
* GNU Make.
-* A GPU capable of running GLSL fragment shaders,
- processing floating-point textures, and a few other things (all are
- part of OpenGL 3.0 or newer, although most OpenGL 2.0 cards also
- have what's needed through extensions). If your machine is less than five
- years old _and you have the appropriate drivers_, you're home free.
-* The [Eigen 3] and [Google Test] libraries. (The library itself
- depends only on the former, but you probably want to run the unit tests.)

Still TL;DR, please give me the list of filters
===============================================
-Blur, diffusion, glow, lift/gamma/gain (color correction), mirror,
-mix (add two inputs), overlay (the Porter-Duff “over” operation),
-scale (bilinear and Lanczos), sharpen (both by unsharp mask and by
-Wiener filters), saturation (or desaturation), vignette, and white balance.

Yes, that's a short list. But they all look great, are fast and don't give

all research-grade problems, and Movit is currently not there.)

Backwards compatibility is fine and all, but sometimes we can do better
by observing that the world has moved on. In particular:

What do you mean by “high-performance”?
Exactly what speeds you can expect is of course highly dependent on
your GPU and the exact filter chain you are running. As a rule of thumb,
you can run a reasonable filter chain (a lift/gamma/gain operation,
-a bit of diffusion, maybe a vignette) at 720p in around 30 fps on a two-year-old
