Mixvibes’ Remixvideo v1 brought a clip launch Abletonesque aesthetic to working with video. And after launching on Mac, a Windows version was added, and then Ableton Link amongst other things. But now we’re at v1.3, and Remixvideo moves beyond the scope of loops and samples, and introduces Generators and the ability to create visuals right within the software, as well as normalising the full price to $99.
Announcing Remixvideo 1.3 — Music generates visuals.
Discover Generators, visual content generated in real time. Tweak their shapes with adjustable parameters and let them react to the music to create infinite possibilities.
Remixvideo now provides fully controllable visuals at your fingertips, known as Generators: let BPM-synced and audio-reactive Generators intuitively follow the dynamic of the music, or take advantage of infinite parameter combinations to create custom shapes, colors or textures.
Generators open new possibilities for existing features: activate Audio Live Input, launch BPM-synced or audio-reactive ones and let the music generate perfectly-matching visuals. Assign parameters to a MIDI controller and move the knobs to transform shapes in real time.
Play Generators alongside any type of video files, whether they are pictures, gifs or regular video clips. Enhancing one’s collection with 36 new visuals free to download, they provide a unique flavor that helps make every performance as unique as can be.

Generators are fun. Sometimes a show doesn’t require actual video to be manipulated, and something more like a vibe being created to match the music. And that’s what generators offer. Obviously you can use them to supplement video clips too, but now you have some additional pizazz for your video show.
Like other Mixvibes products on desktop, you can grab a trial version, and then decide if it’s for you. And now its at a lower price of $99 too, which makes it a tad easier to justify. You just got more for less.
Is there any kind of API for coding your own generators? I remember resolume sort of doing this years ago but was underwhelmed with the process
Yes you can. It is pure GLSL.

So it is shadertoy (GLSL sandbox, etc.) compatible
Does it work with SDJ? Can this complement SDJ in some way?
Can you link two Ableton Link apps on one machine? If so, this will probably run in the background and just replace the SDJ output I’m currently using and if they Link, this will be nice!
I’m off to get the demo!
Yup. Currently have both synced with Ableton Link and it’s great. I think I’ll grab a copy as it’s only £89.
Linux?
Had a play and quite like it.
I’ve found there’s a slight offset needed for the Ableton Link to just ‘nudge’ the video a little. I think it needs a -/+ adding to the Ableton Link menu but other than that it’s working really well.
This looks very cool! Gonna have to give it a try,.
looks very fun, hoping I can add some of my own GIFS or Graphics
