![]() ![]() Third-party developers need this capability every bit as much as apple's internal dev teams, for the very same reasons. The quiet addition of "Professional Video Workflow Plug-Ins" and their use in Apple's own professional applications is a tacit admission that a modular plugin architecture for working with codecs is still a necessary and vitally important step in using AVFoundation to develop professional and special-purpose video applications. Please post documentation and/or sample code with the specs and requirements necessary to produce a "Professional Video Workflow Plug-In" for OS X. Devs don't forget that you can also use the Hap codecs on Windows too! So once again, happy holidays to all and looking forward to seeing you in 64-bit land in the new year! We'll be posting more information and details about the next round of VDMX updates in a few weeks so stay tuned for more announcements! Though we still have a more work to do to fully realize the larger goal of having a 64-bit native version of VDMX, including further optimization and bug testing, we wanted other developers stuck on this same problem with their apps to be able to get their software working with Hap as soon as possible. Thankfully as of a few weeks ago it became possible to use Hap in AVFoundation, taking care of our big stumbling block on making VDMX a native 64-bit application. In particular one big limitation for VJs was the lack of support for 3rd party pro video codecs such as Hap. Over the last few years Apple has been trying to transition everyone to use their new modern movie playback engine known as AVFoundation which has several advantages, but was also lacking in certain pro capabilities needed for fully featured real-time video processing applications like VDMX. Here's a few examples from the collection:Īs a recap on the technical details and history of the move from 32 to 64-bit processing, for a long time on the Macintosh most video processing software has relied on using a technology from Apple called QuickTime for movie playback. They also serve as a good example of how simple changes in style can influence the feeling of a loop. The intention for a live mix was to start with the simple black and white outlines and then introduce the ones with color, but you can use them any way you'd like. Each clip is in Hap Alpha so you can layer them on top of each other and there are several variations that can be switched between. This set of clips is designed for just that purpose. It can also allow for creating more interesting performances where mixes begin simple and have new elements layered on along with the music. Often this is normally part of the process when creating clips, but often instead of trying to create several clips, people focus on making one 'perfect' version which can actually be less useful in a live setting.īy having multiple similar versions of a clip you can quickly select the best one to match the needed energy level. One of the useful techniques discussed in class is creating several variations on a theme or style to have in your clip library during a live show. This can be in the form of having different color palettes, or exporting individual parts of your compositions with included alpha channels. Today we've got a new free clip pack courtesy of Herry, one of our recent visual performance students from Dubspot who was using his motion graphics skills to make his own video loops to use at live gigs. ![]()
