BeatHarness - free VJ software
A quick introduction :
BeatHarness is free VJ-software.
But when you download it, as any VJ program, it needs your help to look great.
Before you download BeatHarness, the first thing you need to do is make sure you have a nice collection of images and/or videos to use.
When you use BeatHarness for the first time, tell it where your content is.
(In the "Live performance" section, click the "Add extra images" and "Add extra videos" buttons :))
Just to point you in the right direction, you can download some cool clips from :
Ketmonkeys place
Sleepytom's place
Have fun !
News :
Version 2.4 : General coolness !
Extra logging, speedups and effect tweaks.
Version 2.3 : Speed boost !
and maybe one or two new effects added ! :)
Let's make it quick :
this version should be a mighty bit faster, and it has one or two new effects.
Suck it !
Version 2.2 : crash-dump analysis added !
(Not that BeatHarness ever crashes ofcourse..)
The latest version has added crash-dumps.
In the unlikely event that BeatHarness crashes - most likely due to some external factor like bad weather - it will now write a crash-dump file to disk.
If this happens, send me the crash-dump file (there will be a message on screen explaining exactly what to do) and I'll be able to see instantly what went wrong - how about that !
This will ensure problems will be fixed in no time, and everybody will be happy ever after.
Rejoice !
Version 2.1 : Vista compatible
A new version of BeatHarness is available. My PC broke down, so I got a new one with a CoreDuo processor and Vista (Home Edition)
installed.
Then I ran into a few problems regarding Vista and multithreading, which I managed to fix. (Until proven otherwise ;))
There might be the odd new script here and there, some bug-fixes, some optimizations - God knows what else I've fixed in the meantime.
On the other side, since my new machine I haven't been able to test it on other machines - so fingers crossed, and if anyone encounters problems - mail me at led @ this domain-name dot com.
Have fun !
