Hey Candle, thanks very much this tutorial is over 2 years old and my methods and techniques have changed dramatically. I do a LOT of editing before a show and use Virtual DJ to tigger, cut and scratch the visuals .I have outputted up to 2048x768 with no worries out of Modul8, I now exclusively use the Photojpeg codec but I know that the Pro Res 422 codec is very good aswell. Most clubs have the standard definition 4:3 ratio screens. I'm making a new tutorial soon with my latest techniques. Ta.

I use ableton live as a live set using a apc40 and launchpad. Does anyone know if you can use whats on the laptop screen (ableton clip view) as a background for the video's? ?? as a layer? This would be great for my audience to see what is happening on stage! Any help would be awesome !

Cool vid Evil thanks. I have a question. Are all the current VJ packages only able to output standard def vid? Seems so archaic to me! I mean are we not in the age of hi-def or at the very least 16:9? Maybe many of the packages being sold are trying to target a larger audience ie., people with computers that can handle such cpu intensive routines which maybe 16x9 might crash?

@bandwagonretards here's a couple I could think of:

* vvvv - amazing and flexible piece of software, with a rather steep learning curve

*Max-Jitter - similar to vvvv, but not as powerful, and in my experience, often unreliable

*VDMX (mac only) - modular design, completely customizable, should learn QC before

*Resolume Avenue (better suited for beginners, easy to use, whatever) like ableton for video

*ArKaos GrandVJ

But remember most of them are similar, it's up to you what you do with them
