VJ software

This is a demo video for Video Pianner:

I’ve been testing Max For Live out with Jitter over the past few months and the other day I realized I didnt have anything to show for it so I put this together.

The clips were just lying around – not made specially for this – but they are largely in time and I went through them the other day putting them vaguely in tune.

What it doesnt show in the video is the ability to sequence the clips using midi tracks in Live.

It’s been a long time since Microsoft came out with something cool enough to make people drool, but VPlay could break that dry spell.

VPlay is a multi-touch tabletop application that lets you mix and manipulate multiple video streams in real-time.

According to the Microsoft researchers behind VPlay:

Our aim is to explore how such an interactive surface can support and augment practices around VJing – a form of video performance art that is becoming increasingly popular in nightclubs and other music events. We conclude with observations from a field deployment, which highlight some initial thoughts and reflections on our design rationale.

That description doesn’t really do VPlay justice, so I’ve embedded another demo video below.

Check it out and let me know what you think of Microsoft VPlay! Read more…
