GrandVJ is a real-time video mixer software allowing VJs to compose up to eight layers of video on the fly.
The new GrandVJ 1.5 brings video mixing to the next level with the addition of two major new features: Transitions and ArKaos Connect VST plus several other great enhancements, says the company.
With the addition of 37 transitions, it's "even more fun to mix with GrandVJ 1.5". The transitions are distributed across the following groups: eight Fades - three Blinds - six Masks - four Distortions - three 3Ds - two Pixelisations - seven Rectangles - one Slide - one Swipe - two Waves.
Each transition can have up to four parameters plus a fade time, all of which can be controlled through MIDI. In Synth Mode, the new transitions add fade in/fade out between visuals.
In Mixer Mode, users get advanced live control on the transitions through the A-B mixer.
ArKaos Connect allows GrandVJ to receive sound and MIDI from any audio sequencer compatible with VST plug-ins, running on the same machine or on another machine from the network. ArKaos Connect has been successfully tested with Ableton Live, Steinberg Cubase, Cakewalk Sonar X1, Reaper and FL Studio.
GrandVJ accepts all common video and image formats and is very easy to customise to each user's preferred setup. The interface can quickly be modified to fit individual needs and preferences.
Grand VJ has been developed, tested and refined to get" the best possible performance out of any modern computer or laptop, and just like all other ArKaos products, GrandVJ runs on both PC and Mac".
