U & I Software announces the release of Videodelic a powerful real-time video art synthesizer for the Power Macintosh computer.
Edward Spiegel, Director of Products, San Francisco, California -- Dec. 31, 1999 -- U & I Software announced today that Videodelic, a real-time software video art synthesizer and sequencer for Power Macintosh computers, will make its debut at MacWorld San Francisco 2000. Videodelic mixes and morphs still images, QuickTime™ movies and live video input and applies a wide-range of special effects in real time under audio, MIDI or computer keyboard control.
Created by Eric Wenger (creator of KPT Bryce), Videodelic is a new kind of multimedia application—a real-time video-art synthesis instrument with built-in Montage Room sequencer–that introduces a new modality for multimedia art. It can be used as a real-time instrument for creating striking, live visual improvisations, or it can be used to create video compositions which can be rendered as QuickTime™ movies. Its simple, flexible design makes Videodelic equally at home on the concert stage, in the video post-production studio and in the homes of DIY musicians and multimedia artists. It’s also a lot of fun!
