Resolume seems to be the standard for professional VJing. Any free alternatives, for Mac?

I use Resolume for fun on a Mac, and I couldn't find any decent alternative. I also use HeavyM, which is pretty good, also on a Mac and cheaper, but while it does support VJ use case, it's more designed around projection mapping.

Piece of advice: if you want to buy Resolume (and I do recommend it, it's fantastic): the only discount they do all year is on Black Friday, 50% off. So that is THE day to buy a license. And if you happen to be a student or teacher of a related field (or know anyone who is), you can get an additional 50% on that, and buy it for 25% of the total price.

I'm curious about their DXV codec, but the info provided isn't that detailed. Also while ffmpeg has a decoder for it, the encoder is not open sourced.

Is there a VJing codec that does something like a mipmap for multiple resolutions? For example so you could easily switch from a 2x2 grid of 4K videos to a 200x200 grid of video tiles, without fully decoding 4K for each (more like reads from a 240p stream or smaller).

Take a look at https://hap.video/ which is open source, serves a similar use case, and I believe uses a lot of the same techniques as DXV.
