I'm finding out that video synthesis has been around awhile. Maybe someone familiar with the hardware and software could find something to complain about, I can't.…I find the app both deeply complex and easy to use. The interface is extremely well designed. There's instant gratification (at least for me) as well as so many tools for creativity. Last night I diddled around for half an hour and came up with something very satisfying. It seems the developer has more in mind. This is a nearly perfect app and there'll be improvements? The developer has excellent video tutorials. To me lack of resources can defeat an app. My only beef is that I'd like to pay for it but I can't justify the subscription. I'm living on Social Security and subscriptions will kill me (perhaps literally, if I don't show restraint). The free version is good. Really good. But I think it's important to pay when you can.

it looks amazing and the sky is the limit. i wish there was a one-time purchase option though. other than that great stuff!

State-of-the-art features such as HDR rendering, audio reactivity, MIDI support, an intuitive user interface, and plenty of effects, all for free… and without ads. That’s unheard of. I highly recommend to glitch artists, video synth hobbyists and VJs at all skill levels!
