Fix three performance traps in the OFX plugin preview pipeline that
caused slideshow-like performance when any plugin was active.
1. Eliminate per-frame PluginRenderer creation (GL FBO alloc/free)
RenderProcessor is stack-allocated per ticket, so its
plugin_renderer_ member was constructed and destroyed every frame.
PluginRenderer inherits OpenGLRenderer, whose PostInit() calls
glGenFramebuffers() and whose destructor calls glDeleteFramebuffers().
On Apple Silicon's TBDR this is pathologically expensive.
Fix: use a thread_local cached PluginRenderer so each render thread
creates it only once and reuses it forever.
2. Call getClipPreferences() conditionally
The code unconditionally called instance->getClipPreferences() on
every single frame. This dispatches kOfxImageEffectActionGetClipPreferences
into the plugin even when no inputs or parameters have changed.
Fix: check areClipPrefsDirty() first. The OpenFX Host Support library
already tracks this flag and sets it to true when slave params or clip
connections change.
3. Call ApplyParamOverrides() before renderAction
ApplyParamOverrides() was defined but never invoked, so animated
plugin parameters were never pushed into the OFX instance before
rendering.
Fix: call it after beginRenderAction() and before renderAction(),
injecting the current NodeValueRow values at the correct OfxTime.
This commit extends the OFX plugin support in Olive by:
- Initializing and scanning for OFX plugins
- Updating PluginNode to handle OFX plugin parameters and inputs
- Adding necessary methods and properties for OFX plugin integration
- Enhancing NodeFactory to include OFX plugin nodes
- Refactoring and renaming OliveInstance to OlivePluginInstance
- Introducing new classes for parameter handling (ParamInstance)
- Adding PluginJob for rendering OFX plugins
- Adjusting CMakeLists.txt files to include new source files
This commit adds comprehensive support for OFX plugins in Olive, including:
- Add plugin node infrastructure with getPlugin() method
- Implement OliveHost for managing OFX plugin instances
- Create OliveInstance to handle plugin parameter and timeline interactions
- Add OliveClip implementation for plugin clip handling
- Implement region of definition (RoD) and region of interest (RoI) functionality
- Add interactive mode support in Current class
- Integrate plugin rendering into RenderProcessor
- Fix include dependencies and remove unused OlivePlugin.cpp reference
