You could "play" samples of video using a MIDI keyboard. Both the audio and video from clips were sampled and triggered.</li><li>A digital video mixer. You could combine video (from multiple samplers and loops) using real-time effects.</li><li>A virtual studio. You could combine various video processing elements (samplers, loops, effects) in any configuration desired.</li></ul>VideoJammer has been in cold storage for perhaps six years; I've started work to restore and rebuild it.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Don't Quit Yer Day Job</span><br /><br />Work on VideoJammer won't supersede my regular work on X-Plane...I'm poking at VideoJammer in my copious spare time (that is to say, about 4 hours a week). By professional programming standards, 1/10th of a developer isn't much, so I am trying to keep the project goals as limited as possible.<br /><br />The current goal is to get a "tech demo" prepared in August for some friends in NYC with:<br /><ul><li>Audio and video playback.</li><li>At least one trivial effect.</li><li>Basic sampling.</li><li>MIDI input.</li></ul><blockquote></blockquote>(Note that user interface isn't on this list! The tech demo will require me to build the demo files by hand.)<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">The Future of VideoJammer Is...</span><br /><br />I have no idea. Let's see where the tech demo leads.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6895823898174632232-1247635789976901077?l=videojammer.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Benjamin Supnikhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04886313844644521178noreply@blogger.com0
