Description

videoplayer is a Max for Live device that provides a very easy way to display video files in an external window during your live performances, simply by triggering MIDI clips.

By inserting this device in a MIDI Track, you will be able to launch videos simply by triggering clips you previously named with the video filename (video01.mov).

You want to loop the video ? Simply add the string "_LOOP" after the video name (video01.mov_LOOP), for example) and that's it.

This device also provides a small triple FX engine (Blur > Temporal Slide FX > Brightness/Contrast/Saturation).

Since you are inside Ableton Live, you can use its powerful tools to control and modulate the videoplayer parameters :

- by assigning them to a MIDI controller.

- by drawing envelopes in MIDI clips.

- by assigning them to modulators such as a LFO or an Envelope Follower.

Minimum requirements: Ableton Live 11 or 12 Suite or Standard with Max for Live installed.
