- aspenmayer 5y agoWhat software is used for VJ setups these days?
- djkoolaide 5y agoMixEmergency is what I use. I'm not sure whether or not it's QuickTime under the hood.
- nuclearsugar 5y agoResolume, VDMX, Modul8, TouchDesigner, MadMapper are the most common softwares that performers rely on
- aspenmayer 4y agoNeat, I’ve seen Resolume before and didn’t know how common it was. Thanks for the recs!
- ttoinou 5y agoHap video frames are stored in a MOV container, but you could use .MKV too. What exactly do you need from Quicktime ? I work with the Hap codec too, so Im interested :)
- nuclearsugar 5y agoHmm that's an interesting idea. After Effects still does not support exporting to the MKV container and so it doesn't fit into my typical rendering workflow. Hence I've stuck with MOV using HAP-alpha. As a experiment, I rendered out a PNG frame sequence (with alpha) and then used FFMPEG to render out both an MOV and MKV using the hap_alpha codec. --- When I tried importing both videos into Resolume then the MOV was successful but the MKV was rejected. Doesn't seem to be a supported. --- VLC could not playback the MKV. --- MPC-HC successfully played back the MKV and reported it was an rgba video. So it was interesting experiment, but not something that my necessary software pipeline supports. Here is some of my 3D animations for context. https://www.jasonfletcher.info/vjloops/ https://www.jasonfletcher.info/vjloops/
