The export dialog in VJ Loop Studio 3D

Exporting VJ Loops: Presets, Codecs, and Settings That Survive the Destination

Export is where a good-looking preview becomes a file somebody else has to play. The settings that matter depend entirely on where it is going, so this guide is organised by destination rather than by dialog. Export at a glance Containers MP4, MKV, AVI, MOV, animated GIF Codecs H.264 (libx264), H.265/HEVC (libx265), VP9, MPEG-4 Resolutions HD, Full HD, 2K, 4K, 8K, or any custom size Platform presets YouTube 1080p and 4K, Instagram Square, TikTok / Reels, VJ Loop (ProRes-grade), LED Wall 4K, Draft Preview Audio The project song is muxed into the finished file unless you turn it off Looping Seamless by construction — effect motion is derived from loop phase Start from a preset The export dialog ships presets that set resolution, framerate, container, and codec in one click: ...

Fractals, Crystals, and Liquid Geometry: The Raymarched Effects

These are the effects where the app is doing real 3D rather than drawing a clever pattern. Each describes a shape as a distance function and walks a ray into it, so the lighting, perspective, and occlusion are genuine. They cost more per pixel than the tunnels and stage effects, and they look it. Raymarched effects at a glance Catalogue 124 effects total, across eight groups Covered here Fractal Cosmos, Box Fold Dimension, Blob Fusion, Crystal Dimension, Quantum Grid, Organic Fluids, Tron Organic, Retro Sphere Rendering Signed-distance raymarching on the wgpu pipeline, with PBR lighting Cost Higher than the screen-space effects — use Performance Mode or a preview-quality drop while editing Looping Seamless; motion derives from loop phase, not wall-clock time Fractals Fractal Cosmos A kaleidoscopic fold — box fold plus ball fold — applied in the wall space of a tunnel, so the corridor you fly down is itself a fractal. Depth scrolls the fold rather than scrolling a texture, which is why detail keeps appearing at every scale as you approach instead of just getting bigger. ...

Neon Tunnel VJ Loops: The 3D Tunnel Effects and How to Shape Them

The 3D Tunnels group is now 18 effects, and it is the fastest route to a usable club loop in this app. They share a family resemblance — a corridor rushing at the camera, neon against black — but they are built differently, and the differences decide which one suits a given track or venue. The tunnel family at a glance Tunnels in the catalogue 18, inside a total of 124 effects Rendering wgpu compute/render pipeline, anti-aliased at every depth Looping Every tunnel closes on itself — no visible seam at the loop point Colour Any of the 187 palettes, plus projection and animation modes Typical output Seamless MP4 loops at up to 8K, or live via Spout/NDI What makes a tunnel look expensive Three things separate a convincing neon corridor from an obviously cheap one, and all three are handled in the shader rather than left to you: ...

Send VJ Loop Studio 3D Into Resolume, OBS, TouchDesigner, and MadMapper

VJ Loop Studio 3D is a generator, not a mixer — so it is built to feed the mixer you already use. There are three ways out of it: Spout for another app on the same PC, NDI for another machine, and rendered files for anything else. This guide covers when to use each, and the specific settings for the apps VJs actually run. Integration at a glance Live to other apps Spout (same PC, GPU-to-GPU) and NDI (same PC or across the network) Live to a screen Fullscreen mirror on any connected display or projector File handover MP4, MKV, AVI, MOV, GIF — H.264, H.265/HEVC, VP9 Confirmed destinations Resolume Arena/Avenue, OBS Studio, TouchDesigner, MadMapper, Notch, vMix, Millumin Latency Spout is frame-local; NDI adds a small network buffer Platform Windows 10/11 (64-bit) Pick a route in one decision Your situation Use Why Resolume/OBS on the same Windows PC Spout GPU-to-GPU, no compression, no added latency Mixer or encoder on another machine NDI Travels over normal gigabit Ethernet Driving a projector or LED processor directly Fullscreen output No third app in the chain at all Handing visuals to an editor, client, or a media server Export a file Deterministic, seekable, no live dependency You can run more than one at once — a fullscreen output on the projector while NDI feeds the stream encoder is a normal setup. ...

Audio-reactive setup in VJ Loop Studio 3D

Setting Up for a Live Set: Outputs, MIDI, and a Blackout You Can Trust

This is the checklist to work through before a set, in the order that matters. It assumes you already have a project with a few scenes in it. 1. Open the Live Console first Ctrl+Shift+L. Everything below lives in this one window, and it is non-modal — put it on your laptop screen with the main window on the other display and leave it open. The Status block at the top tells you what is actually going out and how fast frames are being drawn. If something is not reaching the projector, this is where you will see it. ...

What's New: Live Console, Media Pool, and a Glitch Effect Family

This update is about performing, not just producing. Everything below is aimed at the moment when the lights are down, a controller is under your hands, and hunting through a menu is not an option. Live Console Every live setting used to live in the Live menu — screen output, Spout, NDI, output resolution, frame-rate cap, performance mode, MIDI and OSC. That is workable while you build a show and wrong during one. ...

Preparing VJ Loop Studio 3D Video for an LED Workflow

VJ Loop Studio 3D creates and exports standard video files. It does not configure LED controllers or send Art-Net/sACN data directly. Use the exported file in LEDEdit or another LED application only when that application supports the chosen container and codec. Match the target canvas Before designing, confirm the pixel dimensions, aspect ratio, frame rate, and accepted video formats of the target LED workflow. Enter those dimensions in Project Settings so composition decisions are made against the real canvas. ...

What Are VJ Loops? Complete Guide to VJ Loop Generation

VJ loops are short, seamlessly repeating video clips used by DJs, VJs, event producers, and visual artists to create real-time visual performances. A VJ loop generator creates these loops from mathematical effects, generative art, or pre-rendered sequences. VJ Loop Studio 3D is a Windows VJ loop generator with 124 built-in effects, audio-reactive controls, and production-ready video export. VJ loops at a glance What a VJ loop is A short video clip whose last frame continues into its first, so it repeats with no visible cut Typical length 4–30 seconds, matched to a bar count at the set’s tempo Where they are used Club and festival screens, LED walls, projection mapping, streams, installations How they are made here 124 GPU effects on a multi-track timeline, rendered to video or sent live Delivery MP4, MKV, AVI, MOV, GIF up to 8K — or live via Spout and NDI Platform Windows 10/11 (64-bit), €99 (+VAT) one-time Start with a Visual System, Not a Fixed Clip Choose an effect from one of eight groups, then adjust its motion, camera, palette, material, lighting, and effect-specific parameters. Because the visuals are generated inside the application, each project can be tuned for a specific stage, screen, mood, or track. ...
