VDMX is a software based video mixer tuned for realtime performance of audio visual material. At a glance, it features realtime raster effects, temporal playback and mixing effects, tactile physical control over scrubbing/playback rate/mixing, ram and disk recording, 2 live video inputs, unique fontsynth technology just to name a few - and all aspects of the program are controllable from a master tap tempo or external MIDI clock for syncronized performance.
Limitations:
The tryout version is fully functional, but disables full screen output and recording after 15 minutes.
What's New:
This new update offers a major improvement in performance in addition to various bug fixes and improved compatibility with OS 10.4 (Tiger) and Quicktime 7. See below for a complete list of changes. Current VDMX users can upgrade to version 4.2 for free by unlocking the demo version using their current VDMX authorization key.
This update is recommended for all VDMX4 users. For more information, e-mail sales [at] vidvox.net
