This is the video that accompanies our song "Insaniel" live. the abstract elements in theForeground are created by an effects chain that contains Edge work / spinzoomedgesfeedback / xy-zoom. The zoom level is linked to the volume of the synth and strings of the song. I send audio from my MacBook (Ableton Live) to the built in input of my iMac (VDMX).
Ableton Live also sends midi CCs to VDMX to change fx presets etc.
the background videos are quite old. The have already been treated with effects in Arkaos or Livid Union - I can't remember exactly - and were cut and mixed in Final Cut Express. I quit using Arkaos and Union some years ago, and I cannot handle FC Express anymore, too... I'm really afraid of the 900 pages FC manual...

The project setup is quite similar to this setup:

but I actually only use 2 layers here, BG and FG.

P.S.: Sorry for the "[url]" problem, apparently this doesn't work with long paths that are interrupted by automatic word wrapping?
