Thank you both, Chris and Matju for explaining these connections. This should go up on a Wiki (to pre-quote .hc)!

there's no hsl nor hsv in GridFlow; you can use [#saturation] and [#hueshift] to get similar effects.
GEM will allow me to play video files as openGL textures but not be doing matrix-pixel stuff?
GEM has several maintainers and compared to GridFlow, it has better support for solving usual problems without wasting processing power. (GridFlow was designed to solve unusual problems.)
framestein is for windows only?
Framestein has been unmaintained for many years.
gridflow looks as if this has a concept similar to jitter?
Yeah, GridFlow's grid are a purer version of Jitter's matrices. (GridFlow images have no planes and instead have an extra dimension representing the planes).
says mac version is "experimental" ...
And it's been like that for years. The version for OSX is slower and is missing some important features such as cameras. Also the interoperability with GEM can't work, due to a bug/limitation in Pd itself.
pdp also looks like jitter, but more macro objects instead of low level when comparing to gridflow? says its linux + mac
In PDP there is no concept similar to GridFlow's grids or Jitter's matrices. The message types are all separate from each other, so less reuse is possible. In some cases, the functionality of one GridFlow object class corresponds to two Jitter object classes, but to 3 or 4 or more GEM/PDP object classes.
seems to be really bad in keeping proper timing). to me it looks if either gridflow or pdp could be a good choice?
If you want speed, use PDP or GEM.
