VIZZable allows you to manipulate live and prerecorded video as part of an Ableton Live set. You can trigger clips, work with live cameras, experiment with effects, and it integrates happily with a broad range of video software using Syphon and Spout. It was created by Robert Jarvis of zeal co.
If you find VIZZable useful and want to shoot me some bucks you can do so here:
- Max 6.13
- Ableton Live 9
- Dedicated graphics highly recommended
Download from the releases link above ☝️
Place VIZZable folder anywhere on your hard drive. Drag plugins from the Ableton browser or your file system, into your live set.
Community support available through this google group: http://groups.google.com/group/jitterinmax4live-
There is a helpful Youtube Playlist here.
All the plugins have help associated in lives built-in help thingo. Video files should be in quicktime format. A good rule of thumb is to use the photoJPEG codec at 74% for the best compromise between quality and performance.
