Veejay is a visual instrument and realtime video sampler

With veejay, you can play the video like you would play a piano

The engine is based upon ffmpeg and the mjpegtools featuring a client-server model with multiple clients:

Reloaded

A GUI developed in GLADE/GTK

sayVIMS

A PureData object allowing direct communications with the server

sendVIMS

A console based utility for quick’n'dirty scripting

Veejay boasts the following powerfull features

• While playing, you can record the resulting video directly to disk (video sampling)
• All effects are realtime and optimized for use on modern processors
• Veejay likes the sound of your video’s as much as their images: sound is kept in sync ( pitched when needed - trickplay) and delivered to JACK for possible further processing
• Can cluster to allow a number of machines to work together over the network (uncompressed streaming, veejay chaining)
• And much more…
