FrameRunner in action with After Effects CS3
I’ve only just got around to testing FrameRunner in After Effects CS3!
It works fine but thought I might clear things up a little, optimise the code, and add in a requested feature: super sampling.
Some FreeFrame plugins can be a bit blocky, so the super sampling feature scales up the [...]
Haven’t had much of a chance to do work on PatchBox over the past few days apart from Sunday where I implemented native support for the fugStreaming library. I wasn’t getting quite the performance I was after streaming WinAmp across a memory connection so I added an Adaptive Buffer system that allows [...]
After a couple of post work pints spent sitting in the Lord Nelson and reading a book about stage lighting, I thought it would be fun to rewrite my FreeFrame plugin framework!
It’s not done, but I’ve made a start. Am developing in Eclipse and compiling with MinGW GCC. Hopefully this will make everything [...]
So last night I slung the bags of gear over my shoulders and headed down to the Komedia to do visuals for Final Cut.
There’s nothing quite like jumping in to a new event, in a new

This evening I sat down to write the GLSL shader for PatchBox that I’ll be using for the gig on Sunday.
It’s quite closely modelled on Resolume: three layers of video with various mixing effects, but given the speed and flexibility of using shaders I added a few goodies:
Three texture layers, but each layer has [...]
