Bart - It is ideal for image sequences...check out the "Gallery of Effects" section of the YouTube video, entirely done using image sequences created in Blender. (In fact that's the way to go instead of trying to process movies - mp4, mov, avi, etc... - which are entirely loaded into memory!) I've tried to make this part of the code work as smoothly as possible.
Image size is clearly one factor, but in the end, the type of filter being used will determine how fast things happen. Applying simple effects (Sepia, B&W, Vector Painting) might only take a second or two per frame. Complicated effects involving many iterations (Brushify, Rodilius, Dream Smoothing) take much longer. In that case, patience and lots of coffee come in handy...but the results can be rewarding. I'm looking forward to see how this works out for Blender users.

How is the performance? Is it feasible to use this for video sequences?

The upcoming OpenFX plugin "bridge" between G'MIC and Natron (apparently also After Effects/Resolve/Nuke/Vegas Pro) should provide wide support for the hundreds of filters...see:

Blender-2-G'MIC is way for Blender users to have some fun right now with a subset of G'MIC. More options/filters will added as possible. Thanks.

It's a great product. I got it because I wanted the "heal tool" functionality of photoshop but I stayed for so many other things. I just wish gimp itself was worked on more to make it an even better environment for G'MIC. I am interested in trying out the product in Blender.

Thanks ...6:46 looks a little better @ 720p HD. :)

It would be also good to have a node to be able to use G'MIC from compositing nodes.

I started learning and have been waiting on the Natron integration so I could work with these filters in a video editing pipeline so having them in blender right now is really exciting!

is it also animatable, enhancable with drivers?

i did not check it - is it a node? would be great for materials but also render!

Keep up the good work
