PROFILE

Sam.richards@taurich.org

Over a two-month period, contributed to the FFmpeg/FFmpeg repository by developing an initial OpenColorIO (OCIO) color management filter, enabling advanced color transformations and scalable color pipelines within FFmpeg. The work involved implementing OCIO filetransform support, integrating configuration parameters, and optimizing performance through threading for high-resolution video processing. Logging was standardized using av_log, and tests were improved for greater reliability. In the following month, focused on configuration management by removing an unused library from the build system using shell scripting, which reduced dependency bloat and improved maintainability. Core skills included C++ development, filter development, and configuration management.

Month: 2026-01 — FFmpeg/FFmpeg delivered the initial OpenColorIO (OCIO) color management filter, enabling advanced color transformations within FFmpeg pipelines. Key work included OCIO filetransform support and an OCIO config parameter, plus a threading option to improve performance on high-resolution frames. Logging was migrated to FFmpeg's av_log, tests were updated to run without external files, and documentation/licensing cleanups were added. This work establishes a scalable color-management foundation, enabling consistent color pipelines and paving the way for broader color-space support in future releases.
