More Chris Korda software

• Whorld generates real-time animation, but unlike most visualizers, it's designed for performing, and includes MIDI support and other features more commonly found in clip-based VJ programs. Whorld animates sacred geometry, and distorts it according to parameters that can be adjusted manually, or automated via programmable oscillators. The result is a mesmerizing, psychedelic composition of continuously transforming shapes.
• WhorldFF is a stripped down-version of Whorld that runs as a Freeframe source plugin. It can only play patches; to edit them or create your own, you'll need to use the Whorld application. WhorldFF can be used as the input to your plugin chain in FFRend, instead of a source video or image.
• Mixere is a free, open-source application for mixing WAV, AIFF, MP3, Ogg Vorbis, Flac, and Mod audio files. Mixere is ideal for live performance, and especially for multi-layered sound collages. It's like a rack full of CD players connected to an automated mixer.
• BmpToAvi is a BMP to AVI DirectShow source filter. It allows you to create an AVI file from a series of bitmaps, one frame at time. It's similar to the VfW AviFile API but without the 2 GB limit! The filter has an MFC wrapper object, which includes a dialog for choosing a compressor.
• FFSrcPlug is an MFC template project for developing Freeframe source plugins. It mirrors the structure of a typical MFC graphics app, using a surrogate main frame and view, so that drawing code can be transplanted from an app to a plugin with minimal modifications. The project has a simple demo view which draws a bouncing ball, and exposes a single Freeframe parameter (the ball speed). The download includes the plugin DLL and the project sources.
• Fractice is a fractal explorer that supports navigation, history thumbnails, rendering previews, antialiasing, bitmap export, printing, multi-threaded and multi-core rendering, movie recording, and fast palette editing in RGB or HLS. Features still in development include deep zoom and distributed rendering.

Freeframe plugins

• Chris Korda's Freeframe plugins include PlayerFF, a clip player that reads AVI files or still images. More plugins are on the way! The Whorld plugin is available separately here.
• Pete Warden's Video Effects are the standard against which all Freeframe plugins are measured. They were also the original inspiration for the entire FFRend project.
• Freeframe downloads at Source Forge has the canonical list of freeware plugins.

Other stuff

• VJs are performing artists, no less than DJs or electronic musicians, and deserve to be treated as such, but it's not likely to happen unless we organize. United Visual Jockeys is working for a future in which VJs get paid fairly for their time and get fair credit for their work, and in which everyone who wants to be a VJ has a chance to become one.
