VDMX

About

Modular live visuals software for macOS with audio analysis, BPM detection and a large ISF shader ecosystem.

VDMX is a Mac-only application for live video performance. Its interface is modular: you assemble layers, sources, effects and control surfaces into a custom workspace for each show.

Built-in audio analysis and automatic BPM detection can drive any parameter, and VDMX6 can capture audio directly from other applications. VIDVOX created the Interactive Shader Format (ISF), and VDMX supplies audio waveform and FFT data to ISF shaders, so a large library of community shaders can act as audio visualisers.

The demo is fully functional with no watermark or time limit, but cannot save projects.
