VisualJockey Freeware
VisualJockey: Real-time Animation
The Mac may be in the spotlight these days, but Windows may boast the broadest access to freeware and open source tools for live visuals. The latest edition: VisualJockey. Blending patching, performance, and timeline metaphors, with a healthy dose of effects and sound capabilities, VisualJockey is a unique tool you can now have for free. Need an excuse to load Boot Camp, Mac users?
You get a pretty powerful set of tools in this app, first introduced in 1999:
- Windows Vista support
- Image, AVI, QuickTime format compatibility
- MIDI
- Multi-monitor support
- Generators for particles, patterns
- 25+ transitions
- 3D support and animation
- Export Footage
VisualJockey’s approach is unique - a hybrid blend of other interface paradigms. The user interface has a retro feel with more flexibility than modular patching environments. At this price it’s hard to resist.
