Mixvibes updates Remixvideo, and makes Remixvideo Pro

Video DJing continues to sit awkwardly inside the DJ realm. But in recent times, it seems to be finding its feet a little and defining its place in our world. For the longest time, DVS was the way to play video, but that just changes the whole dynamic as people stop dancing and start watching. But using video as a supplement and enhancer to the DJ’s performance seems to be the emerging way of using the moving picture format. And Mixvibes is capitalising on this trend — their video software Remixvideo has been bumped to v1.4, and an all new Remixvideo Pro has been created with more compatibility with industry standard protocols.

Words follow:

Announcing Remixvideo Pro and Remixvideo 1.4

Mixvibes introduces two versions of its VJing software: A professional version and a standard version.

As electronic music events among the globe as become so popular, many people have started to show a big interest for VJing. It is the reason why Mixvibes created Remixvideo in 2017, receiving a warm welcome within the professional and amateur circles. As the use are very different regarding the needs, Mixvibes decided to update Remixvideo into two versions responding to people’s demands.

Both software mix and match music and visuals using an immediately intuitive grid of video loops. Every video can be tweaked live or manually generated through a special interface “Generators” to control colors, shapes, textures, reactions to music and more.

Moreover Remixvideo Pro gives the users the possibility to share video output with a compatible piece of software (like Syphon and Spout) and to use Remixvideo Pro as a VST/AU plugin inside a DAW.

These are made to send the output of Remixvideo to other mapping and VJ pieces of software such as Madmapper or HeavyM or to create MIDI sequences in Ableton Live that trigger video loops in Remixvideo Pro.

As Mixvibes want VJing to be accessible to anyone, they decided to transform Remixvideo into a very affordable soft. All previous users are now owners of Remixvideo Pro.

As the video DJ scene matures, it’s clear that visuals supplementing DJs is the best use of this type of technology. It’s still all about the music, but the ambience and mood can be created by software like this.

Mixvibes has obviously seen growth in this area too. On one level, they offer a relatively entry-level way into the features of Remixvideo, and pave the way to introducing new ways of using video and visuals and DJs who might otherwise just play music videos using conventional DJ gear.

Mixvibes updates Remixvideo, and makes Remixvideo Pro

But with the creation of Remixvideo Pro (existing owners of Remixvideo get the upgrade for free), more professional options are open to users, such as Syphon and Spout, as well as operating as a VST. It’s not quite a Resolume or Modul8 but does provide a more understandable and immediately accessible approach, with access to some of the power of the established players.

If this sounds like your bag, get on quick because the software is discounted for a short time — $49 for Remixvideo and $99 for the new Pro version.
