Above that are tempo controls, and an Ableton Link button, so Remixvideo can sync with other software on the same computer, such as Live, NI’s Traktor, or Korg’s Gadget, or over a network with computers and iOS devices.Ī selection of overly large buttons at the right access the mixer, pad-playback attributes, and file browsing. The central area features a grid of up to 8×8 ‘pads’, where you gather and trigger content, which can be movies, generative effects, stills, or audio (or movies and audio together) or even a live feed from a camera. At the left, there’s a preview window for the currently active video content, and below that, an X-Y based visual-effect controller. Remixvideo’s interface is fairly straightforward if you’ve worked with any kind of audio or video software. I’ve played many VJ gigs using Arkaos VJ, and recently used Resolume, so I was interested to see how it compared. Eager though I was to try Remixvideo inside Live, I ran it standalone to get a distraction-free handle on the basics. I had some issues getting the plug-in to install, eventually going into the application package and dragging the AU and VST across.
ARKAOS GRANDVJ VS RESOLUME INSTALL
Installation is simple, with an unusual extra step of using a menu item inside Remixvideo to install the AU and VST plug-ins. Most excitingly, it can run as a plug-in with any DAW this is amazing news for Ableton Live users, who typically have to resort to Max For Live devices to get functional video inside Live’s jamming-oriented Session View (Live works fine with video in the Arrangement View timeline).
