Videogrep is a python script that searches through dialog in videos and then cuts together a new video based on what it finds. Basically, it’s a command-line “supercut” generator. The code is here on github.
The script searches through a video’s associated subtitle file (which needs to be in the same folder as the video, in standard .srt format), identifies timestamps for the dialog, and then uses the wonderful moviepy library to generate the new final cut.

PixiVisor is a revolutionary tool for audio-visual experiments. Simple and fun, cross-platform application with unlimited potential for creativity! It consists of two parts: Transmitter and Receiver. Transmitter converts the video (static 64x64 image or 10FPS animation) to sound, pixel by pixel (progressive scan). This lets you listen to the sound of your image. But the main function of the Transmitter is to transmit the signal to the receiving devices. Receiver converts the sound (from microphone or Line-in input) back to video. You can set the color palette for this video, and record it to animated GIF file.

gifsicle anim.gif '#0' > firstframe.gif
You can also editanimations by replacing, deleting, or inserting frames:
gifsicle -b anim.gif --replace '#0' new.gif
Some more gifsicle features:
Two other programs are included with gifsicle: gifview is a lightweight animated-GIF viewer which can show animations as slideshows or in real time, and gifdiff compares two GIFs for identical visual appearance.

pocode is an open-source C++ library designed by Potion for the production of interactive media across multiple platforms. pocode provides a robust, high-performance software infrastructure that allows for the creation of all types of software, from simple visual sketches to elegant mobile apps to entire software applications.
At the center of pocode’s design is a desire to make an all-purpose software library that is as simple to use as it is efficient and powerful. Thanks to pocode’s object-oriented architecture, applications stay organized and take care of themselves. Objects draw themselves, maintain their state and can be changed at any time. pocoders don’t have to worry about the intricacies of event routing, the details of threaded image loading or the pitfalls of shader construction. All of these processes are handled automatically.
At the same time, pocode is an open system that allows pocoders to dive deep into the software architecture and implement alternative methods of their own. Because of pocode’s modular design, this kind of tinkering and re-engineering can place without altering the library itself. pocoders can also extend pocode with their own poObjects, and share them with other pocoders. Since all poObjects fit within pocode’s object-oriented framework, shared poObjects can easily be incorporated into new applications, even across platforms.
While we have designed pocode with great intentionality, we see it as a work in progress. pocode is an evolving platform that will change over time in response to user feedback and to new technologies. Simply put, we want pocode to be the simplest, most useful and most technically sound software library available anywhere for the creation of interactive media.
