no more waiting for videos.
In response to the days I have spent waiting for videos to render, crash, and export I set out to make an alternative video editor. I focused on bringing the experience of editing into the process. With editing happening in real time, it mandates creative flow. The interface was crafted around this need.
A VIDEO INSTRUMENT
following the ideas of electronic music, I thought that video could play too! æffection is modeled after an the “two turntables and a crossfader” idea that DJs know and love. In fact, one of the first interfaces was a turntable. At the time, I was seeing a lot of music being made at small DIY venues, but not many music videos. So, paired with a projector, effection fit the bill of both entertaining and documenting small DIY shows.
EXPRESSIVE AND DEEP.
æffection’s can mix real time footage from multiple cameras, collected video clips, and screen recording to allow for story crafting of any sort.
Create visual music.
Inspired by music but not relying on it, this software can create endless patterns, colors, and textures, without repetition. Use it to find your visual voice and tell a story, bring a space to life, or just wig out.
