Vidvox has released a new public beta of VDMX5. Grab it from the Vidvox website.
I’ve been testing a private beta build of this software for a long time. It’s IMO the most promising VJ software to come along for a long time. Among other things it loads quartz files natively and displays published inputs as parameter controls in the mixer. You can even create QTZ effects chains by making quartz compositions which use published image inputs and then sending movies from another layer through the quartz composition.
This public beta includes five quartz compositions written by me which are useful examples of whats possible with VDMX beta 5 and Quartz.
I’ll put a proper review up here with some more examples and screen shots of whats possible when I get a chance.

[...] Software VDMX 5 : Fresh from the vidvox.net stables, a new beta of their flagship software VDMX has arrived. Completely reworked and modular design which enables many different video applications to be built with it. Optimised for OS X and the newer mac Intel machines, it can blaze through DV-Pal resolution clips layering, blending and compositing on the fly. In the pipeline : a sequencer module and multi-screen outputs. VDMX 5 will also work very well with quartz composer files, the software built into OSX – meaning further fast, fluid capacities. The public beta includes five quartz compositions written by Roger Bolton ( Quartonian blog ) which demonstrate whats possible with VDMX beta 5 and Quartz. (free trial : http://www.vidvox.com/download/vdmx.php ) Modul8 2.5 – Seems to have one of the best mac multi-output functions at the moment, meaning it can easily isolate parts of movies and send these to multiple screens at once. Allows recording of your actions, for later rendering as movies, includes new FX, an integrated global mask system and anti-aliasing ( thanks to further harnessing of graphics cards rather than CPU ) .
