The documentation is quite sparse for externals, however, I think that’s the 
way you will need to go to get the speed you need. There are more examples 
online now than there ever have been so I would start by reviewing the source 
of the externals in the LC repo and then look at those in my account and if you 
search GitHub for LiveCode I’m sure others will pop up like the SSH external.

I have a couple of externals that mess with imageData and they can be quite 
quick although they are only used in screen resolutions so if you have very 
large images that will slow them down obviously. Depending on what you are 
doing though I might be inclined to look at an OpenCV external. I believe with 
OpenCV you can green screen live camera feeds so it’s pretty fast.

Cheers

Monte
