Another FFGL plugin: fugCompilerGL (and it’s a fun one!)

Ok, this is the last one, I promise!
If you fancy creating your own FFGL plugin, but don’t want to mess about with C compilers, then this one is for you.
fugCompilerGL allows you to create your own FFGL plugins by just writing vertex, fragment, and geometry shaders.
It’s pretty much alpha stage at the moment, as there is no support for creating your own variables, but if people like this idea I’ll add that feature in.

"Music video" for live web performance…

Long time lurker, first-time poster. :up:

I’ve been doing live music performances over the web for a while now, with the following setup:
All guitar/vocals performed live by me, into a Mac, hosting Reaper, Reason, and Waves GTR-3 (for guitar tones).
So in other words, my current "live" Reaper project has well over 100 songs all sequenced up through MIDI, running through virtual instruments, with only the vocals and guitar remaining to be performed live.
From there, I run the digital audio out to both a live monitor system, and a second computer to feed the audio to the streaming service. I’ve beem using USTREAM. The second computer is also responsible for video capture and any simple video fx.
Up until now, I’ve been using crappy "consumer" webcam fx software, but I’ve been feeling the "lameness" of this for a while now. It sucks to have to leave the [...]

FreeFrame 1.0 plugins in a FFGL host: introducing fugWrapperGL

Here’s a little bonus one for you all…
I think it’s a bit of a shame that you can’t use all those hundreds of FreeFrame 1.0 plugins in Resolume Avenue (and others?) so I created a plugin that allows you to do just that!
It’s called fugWrapperGL and you can download the latest release at:

There are some issues with plugins that don’t handle alpha properly but it seems to work, on the whole
Enjoy.

Resolution Scan converter

Hello VJforums community
I recently buyed a new MacbookPro.
I have learned (by the other threads on thise site) that I will have to buy a scan converter to perform.
But I do ask myself what resolution does the scan converter needs to handle if I want to have a good visual.
I have looked at a couple of scan converters but I can’t really figure out what the difference is between a ‘good’ scan converter and a ‘bad’ converter.

Like those two are they good enough?
There is another problem that i live in Belgium and that I need the product to be shipped over here.
Do you guys know any good scanconverter (whit good price -100$) that can be shipped or buyed in Belgium.
Thank you

Single Composite Signal split over two screens ?

Is this possible to do ?
Basically the club I do visuals in want to put the two screens side by side and spit the single composite feed over the two screens ( two projectors )
The matrox dual head i dont think will do the job , I run off two mac’s and some cameras into Vixid and if I am correct the Dual head needs to be connected via usb cable to your machine .
I suppose I need something along the lines of a video wall processor but cant seem to find any thing along the lines of what I am looking for .

Elektronika as free software for noobie me

:inf: Hi Jockeys :inf:
My first post on this fantastic forum.
Im a beginner to VJ-ing and Im in search for the perfect user-friendly stable and most of all beautiful output giving software.
1. I just stumbled upon a free software tool voor windows called Elektronika
and I was wondering if you guys have any experience with this piece of software. I have my very first live Gig on the 27th of April on this awesome party supporting a DJ.
The setup will be 2 great HD beamers and a huge HD LCD screen. I really want to show off on that party cause it can give me more performances if all goes well.
I tried Arkaos VJ 3.5 but it feels old and out dated. since I dont have any midi equipment it just isnt working for me.
2. I make most of my own material with a HD cam and [...]
