Upcoming features

Post by Magic »

A lot of you have been asking about what new features we have planned. Here is a list of some of the things on our to-do list, in no particular order:

- FFGL module for loading FFGL 1.5 plugins (http://freeframe.sourceforge.net/)
- Syphon output of entire application on OS X, including playlist transitions
- Spout sender/receiver modules (http://spout.zeal.co) for video sharing on Windows, as well as output of entire application via Spout
- Module for loading and dynamically manipulating folders of images
- Improved support for different VidCap resolutions
- Loading of custom star images into Starfield module
- Darker UI color scheme for use in dimly lit environments, such as clubs or concerts
- Multiple simultaneous audio devices for input
- Modules for drawing basic 3D geometry: spheres, cubes, etc.
- Modules for more 2D effects: chroma key, blur, posterize, threshold, etc.
- Module for loading custom 2D GLSL effects
- More types of playlist transitions: wipe, twirl, zoom, etc.
- MIDI control for module power/bypass buttons and for playlist prev/next buttons
- "MIDI learn" function for assigning custom MIDI commands to various parameters and buttons
- Option to keep small Magic Window visible simultaneously with fullscreen Magic Window
- Magic Window output to multiple simultaneous displays
- Hardware-accelerated video playback in Video module
- Animation of 3D models in Model module
- Multiple playlists per project
- Improved audio pitch detection

If you have any other ideas or suggestions, please let us know!

Hi Eric,

Again compliments with what you've achieved so far. Very impressive and I look forward to future additional enhancements.

Just a suggestion: perhaps it is an idea to create a special section on the forum where users can put in their requests/suggestions for enhancements? If these can then somehow be categorized it would become easier to sort/select/vote on them. See it for other software, but again just a suggestion.

Thanks! :)

Yeah, as soon as there are enough posts to warrant a separate forum, I'll split one off.
