This brings back days of fun with Winamp and AVS. It had shaders before shaders were a thing. It was effectively my first geometry / vectors course. I hope this is as fun to play with.

I'm having difficulty understanding the Resolume products/pricing structure. I'd like to create some visualizations based on music I'm making, such as to create YouTube videos. Would I need only the Avenue VJ software to get started, or would I also need a second tool like Wire?

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

Less straight forward but game engines can be used as VJ software. Unity, Godot, Unreal

can you share any pointers on where to get started with this, ie using game engine for artistic video generation?

i've seen it accomplished but never found any resources on how to achieve it.

There's Vimix for Linux and Mac (no windows binary yet), and it's great! https://github.com/brunoherbelin/vimix

You need MIDI for this type of software to have a sane automation of events.

Install and start programming, then art will come.

If you have already have all the clips you want to use, Avenue is fine. If you want to generate videos and effects, Wire is what you're looking for.

I’m working on a new VJ app here: https://vizlab.app/

It connects to pioneer gear and changes visualizer patterns and loops and shaders in sync with the music structure.

It uses canvas and webgl so you can write your own JavaScript to control things.

There will be a free and open source version.

Thanks for your patience, I’m working down the Show HN checklist as we speak.

I use Resolume professionally in my job building and operating LED walls for live events. I have a rackmount custom PC with a 4090 in a shockproof road case with popout monitors. One important skill is being able to map content onto multiple video walls. For example at a volleyball charity event I had a jumbotron with 4 walls where I needed to put camera shots and sponsors and also 2 walls on the side for a live charity donation and tournament schedules. I use resolume to route all the video signals. It's actually 1 4k screen sliced into 6 screens.
