Hi! for an a/v discussion forum we have a surprisingly low amount of video content here! lets start a thread where we share some video stuffs! if you post a link with spaces above and below the link to where your video is currently hosted it should automatically generate an embed
here is something i made with artificial life and chromatic aberration, two of the video synth/processors i develop as a part of my video synthesis ecosphere rpi.
artificial life is a generative video oscillator unit and chromatic aberration is a 4 band colorizer/solarizer processor with individual band hue and brightness oscillators
Before lockdown my buddy and I would jam with synths, mixers, and VHS tapes. Here are some unedited footage from it. Would love to be involved in some streaming stuff on here.
DO! but you will have to go a few versions back, I can’t remember which version off the top of my head but maybe even pre-CC ? as they removed it a while back. The description of it in the manual makes little sense and I’ve never really seen anyone online actually understand what it was originally even supposed to be for, or how to use it, but long story short it can recursively apply any combination of other AE plugins (except the ones which arbitrarily don’t work with it) on each frame.
You also have to always render previews from frame 1, and clear the cache first, or it glitches out non-interestingly.
My secret for these kind of fractal zooms was to put (I think) the obsolete ‘basic 3d’ effect in the fx chain with a small above-100% scale value and a wiggle on the position. Only used that because the Transform effect just didn’t do anything, for no apparent reason.
Here’s a very long one I made for an art installation, never properly released online since youtube compression kind of ruins it
Thanks Hoping to do more of this sort of thing soon. Found a TV in the street the other day which will help, going to set up the old video hardware again some time
The last image demonstrations what the script actually does the best. It renders 3x circles by drawing lines every N degrees, then alters the radius, centroid, etc. in various ways creating all the variations above.
