Too long a comment here but thanks for the insight on this.With the standard in the bank, it was onto the experiemental performance, the world premiere of ‘particle’. Most guys I’ve seen using it just have too much going on and their screens (buried in modules) look more equipped to launch space shuttles than run real-time video sets.Īnd I assume that since it’s so resource-intensive that explains why those sets always seem really stuttery too- super distracting when it’s like that. Honestly feel like your use of VDMX is the only non-chaotic approach I’ve seen and it makes me want to consider trying it out soon. (I use Modul8 and love it)- and your coloration techniques are what really stand out for me with this application of VDMX- it looks perfect and the timing seems all pre-set which is awesome. Is VDMX capable of any of the dimensional projection that Modul8 can do? Missed this post by a mile Scott- you might not even see this reply/question at this point but meant to ask you last we spoke. You can grab a demo and get more info here.
The relatively steep learning curve will pay off pretty quickly when you realize just what it’s capable of.
VDMX, while certainly not geared toward the casual user, is one of those apps that will allow you to grow into it. I just started learning the new version during this current tour and it was pretty straight forward. But you’ll quickly notice that some subtle changes in workflow make a big difference. For those coming from older versions a lot of the way VDMX works will feel familiar. VDMX 5 is an entirely new program, written from the ground up. Thankfully a new version is out, and with it come some very helpful additions and changes. Vidvox (the developers of VDMX) have put together some great tutorial videos which can help move the learning process along. The learning curve is very steep and many of the initial concepts are a little tough to wrap your head around. And therein lies the only real problem I can find with VDMX the flexibility and modularity afforded by the abstract way in which the application functions comes at the expense of usability. The workflow and functionality is so abstract that there are myriad ways to accomplish pretty much anything you can think of. VDMX is an incredibly deep and flexible application which I have yet to see any real limitation to.

I trigger clips and modulate parameter via MIDI over IP from Reaper running on a Macbook Pro w/ a Vertex 3 MAX IOPS drive (VDMX eats data bandwidth alive!). I personally use three video decks with and effects bin on each and then a master effects bin. Because it’s modular, VDMX’s interface can be arranged in any way you prefer. I’ve been using VDMX for a few years now and it’s become one of those tools that I can’t live without.
It can mix multiple sources using blending modes like multiply and color burn all while utilizing Quartz Composer effects. For those of you familiar with video editing / effecting, you could think of it as a stripped down, real-time version of After Effects where every parameter is controllable via various protocols (MIDI, OSC) and even by other parameters. The answer is VDMX, a modular video performance platform. Visuals are a big part of the Tycho live show and I’m often asked how they were created and presented in a live setting.
