Modul8 2.6
Geneva, Switzerland – December 3, 2009.
GarageCUBE presents a new version of its revolutionary live video performance tool for Mac OS X: modul8 2.6. It is designed for VJs, live video performers, stage designers and anyone working with live video presentations and installations. Modul8 has become known in the live media production community for its speed, stability and ease of use.
This new version of modul8 builds upon this reputation by integrating new features into the existing architecture and interface that further its position as an essential tool in the performing arts and event production environments. With the new features, Modul8 2.6 is now 100% compatible with Snow Leopard, allows sound analysis, supports DMX control, integrates up to 4 live video feeds.
What’s new in modul8 2.6?
Compatibility with Snow Leopard
Sound Analysis
Fine tune how compositions react to specific sounds. Isolate frequencies using the Sound Analysis Configuration panel and turn sound into movement. Applying these movements to a layer has been neatly integrated into the existing Animation FX panel.
DMX control
Modul8 can be integrated into any existing stage setup so that it can be controlled with a light controler. Using the module system, it is also possible to develop custom interfaces for controlling DMX devices. Few modules are already include to the online library.
Incorporate several view points using multiple video cameras and mix them together as you would any other media within Modul8.
Quickly create a slide show by dragging a folder containing images from your desktop into the Modul8 media set. Add or remove images from the folder to modify the sequence.
An essential feature for most compositing tasks, blend modes allows for artistic experimentation with any image based media.
Start every new project with a familiar feel by quickly incorporating the controls that serve best. A favourite MIDI controller mapping created in a previous project can now be used instantly within any new project. Import/export mapping. Automatic detection of MIDI devices. Midi device filtering.
The Painter module responds to pen pressure allowing you to add a natural, lively feel to video performances.
