This software offers real-time media processing capabilities to create impressive visual effects.
One of the biggest advantages of using VDMX is its ability to compete with expensive hardware boxes for real-time SD and HD mixing and FX processing. With VDMX, you can achieve astonishing results on your Macintosh that are infinitely more flexible than dedicated hardware, for a fraction of the cost.
VDMX saves you not only money but also time. Its real-time architecture and user-friendly control design encourage creative exploration, enabling you to get better results faster than working with timelines. The software leverages Apple's CoreImage technology to perform accurate and lightning-fast composition and rendering of visual effects in real-time at broadcast and HD quality.
VDMX5 is also fully compatible with Quartz Composer, Apple's freely-available groundbreaking motion graphics visual development environment. This feature allows you to open and play back any Quartz Composer patch in VDMX5, providing an interface for controlling and interacting extensively with the loaded patch, putting the power of Quartz 2d, CoreImage, and OpenGL at your fingertips.
VDMX's modular architecture makes it possible to add plugins from an ever-expanding list of available add-ons, enabling you to define not only the rendering pipeline but the interface for interacting with your video. Any setup can be saved and instantly restored, making it possible to switch between sets on the fly.
With VDMX, you can treat your studio like an instrument, using a piece of MIDI hardware to trigger clips, scratch video, fade between layers, or adjust the parameters of an effect. It's all instantaneous, eliminating the need for keyframes, constant tweaking of values, or long waits for things to render.
VDMX makes bridging the worlds of audio and video easier than ever, leveraging the power of MIDI to enable your favorite audio performance and sequencing software to remotely control VDMX without ever having to switch applications mid-show. The built-in audio analysis plugin allows any effect or control in VDMX to become audio-reactive with the click of a mouse.
In summary, VDMX is a software that offers temporal playback and mixing effects, real-time raster effects, tactile physical control over scrubbing/playback rate/mixing, two live video inputs, RAM and disk recording, unique font synth technology, among other features. This software is ideal for visual effects and motion graphics, videoinstrumentalism, and audio/visual performances.
