Quartz Composer is a patched based programing environment from Apple that comes with OSX (it’s on the Developer disc or you can download it from ). I would look in to the video delay plugin for Quartz Composer and VDMX made by Bangnoise. However, the tutorials I’m aware of are for OSX. But then again, I’m really a QC This is NOT super simple but if you are willing to put some effort into it there are some great tutorials on how to do it. I never managed to stretch the output the same way that you can do in Modul8 with the advanced output. But due to that my partner didn’t use the same method it became a problem trying to match our screens in the video mixer. This is the method I was going to use in the above mentioned video. The backside is that you are modifying the whole output not just one layer. This will actually give you better frame rate since you are using Syphon in the official direction in Modul8. Send the whole output from Modul8 to QC via Syphon, apply the effects in QC and send the final QC output to the screen. I’m using 8 different movie sources in QC that I can switch between using a multiplexer patch and a midi controller.Ģ. I have an image of the QC comp on Flickr. That is what I’m doing in the beginning of this video. It’s not that convenient but if you set up midi controls in QC you can control the parameters of the effects while being in Modul8. Run a movie clip in QC, put one or more v002 effects on it and send the clip to Modul8 via Syphon. If you want to get one of Vade’s plugins to work in Modul8 you need to do one of the following:ġ. But it’s really not as convenient as in VDMX and CoGe where you pipe a layer through a Quartz Composer plugin. Until then I will leave you with the STORM teaser.Well, yes, in a way. I had my first live performance set last week (BIG FUN!) and am planing on uploading a video excerpt in December's Blog. He has told me that he is going to offer this ipad app to the MODUL8 Community after we have made a few more tweeks and created a manual.

The final issue was the controller and since I am also going to be conducting the ensemble I decided to go with a wireless controller.enter again, the ipad. For the external "content drive" I went with a 3 rpm firewire 800 external drive. I went with a MacBook Pro with the best graphics card I could get and maxed out the RAM. Just like doing sampling and live sampling of audio, faster is better and for real time video manipulation, it's even more important. Second was the computer to run the program and the external drive to hold the video content. For a number of reasons I went with MODUL8. A bit of a steep learning curve since the production goes up in February of 2012 (85 days from this posting), but an extremely exhilarating ride!įirst I had to decide on the software and man, there are allot of live video manipulation programs out there right now, but the three that come up the most often for real time (VJ) performance applications are VDMX, RESOLUME and MODUL8. Through a very odd set of circumstances, I have aquired the position of dealing with the live video aspects of the production, which is the Chaos I am now embracing. It is very large scale project about the environment and a journey into the social paradigms that prevent the world from taking action. My conduction ensemble Out of Context (check out OOC page) is doing a colaboration with Theater Grottesco - called STORM.
