Videosync

About

Visual engine for Ableton Live that lets musicians compose and perform video inside their DAW.

Videosync treats video like audio inside Ableton Live. Visual generators and effects appear as Live devices, so the same warp markers, racks, macros, automation and modulation used for sound can shape visuals, either in an arrangement timeline or live from Session View.

It includes instruments for MIDI-driven colour, shape generation and video triggering, more than 20 effects, and support for ISF shaders. A plugin SDK allows custom effects via Max for Live and GLSL, and output can go to Syphon or Spout. Videosync requires Ableton Live 12.
