Free mid software for mac

MIDWorld 4.0.5a is a distinguished and easy to use package for FutureBasic programmers that allows you to play MIDI music from your programs.

MIDWorld lets you load all your music data in advance--switching between songs is completely seamless. No globals are needed. MIDWorld is 100 percent "Local Mode," so it's easy to bring into your existing projects. You can put them all in your resource fork or tell MIDWorld to use an external resource file. MIDWorld will convert standard SMF and MID music formats and merge them. It can automatically loop your songs (or not, if you prefer); play normal QuickTime MIDI files instead of resources; play QuickTime 3.0 tracks, and tracks of all QuickTime versions back to 2.1. MIDWorld comes with many examples and full documentation.

Requirements:

• System 7
• QuickTime 2.1
• FutureBasic 2.0

• Standalone Products
• Networked Products

Despite its name (and the ubiquitousness of the DV format), CatDV is designed for all kinds of digital video and media files, not just DV but also including MPEG-2, MXF, MPEG-4, HDV, Uncompressed, WMV, OMFI, JPEG, WAV, and much more.

Major Features:

1. Importing media
   • Import any QuickTime-supported media file format (DV, MPEG, AVI, JPEG, GIF, MP3, PNG, AIFF, BMP, PSD, etc.)
   • Import Windows Media files (WMV, WMA, ASF)
   • Create thumbnail images for first or mid frame of each scene, or manually from user-specified frames
   • Customisable thumbnail sizes (from 24x16 to 256x192)
   • Extract standard file and movie attributes (file name, size and date, video and audio compression formats, data rate, etc.)
   • Analyse a captured DV-format movie to extract the date & time of recording, camera exposure details and scene boundary information
   • Warn about any corrupted movies which may cause audio synch or other errors
   • Extract Exif data for digital camera stills, album and artist tags from MP3 files, and other metadata such as author and copyright from movies
2. User interface
   • Intuitive, easy to use, user interface with customisable toolbar, choice of look and feels, and tooltip help
   • Spreadsheet-like list view, with fully customisable columns
   • Storyboard-like grid view, with customisable icon size and attribute display
   • New tree-based navigator, with a unified interface to organise your catalog and browse the file system.
   • Powerful filtering and searching options to restrict a view to a particular project or type of clip
   • Consolidation of duplicate and overlapping clips into summary views to produce a concise description of the contents of a tape
   • Allow multiple catalogs to be open simultaneously, and multiple views open on the same catalog
   • Includes a general purpose timecode calculator
3. Logging
   • Automatically identify scene boundaries, based on DV data or image content
   • Allow user to enter comments, good/no good status, and other user-defined attributes for each clip
   • Logging window allows clips to be previewed and categorised, comments to be entered, in/out selections made, new secondaries created, etc.
4. Media management
   • Consolidate footage (trim unused material; split large files into separate scenes; merge separate capture files that belong to the same scene)
   • When renaming or deleting clips optionally rename or delete corresponding media file from disk
   • Automatically create and manage low resolution preview movies to describe offline tapes. A one hour tape requires as little as a few hundred megabytes, allowing you to keep your entire library online at all times.
   • Analyse media files to extact media metadata and displayed detailed format description of individual tracks.
5. Integration
   • Integrates with virtually any non-linear editing application
   • Import and export a wide variety of file formats containing clip logging information.
   • Import Cinestream projects; import and export CMX edit decision lists, and tab separated text; export batch capture logs for Adobe Premiere, EditDV, Canopus Raptor
   • Create whole tape capture logs for use with the batch capture facility of your non-linear editing application
   • Achieve the repeatability of batch recapture for use with NLEs that don't support this feature
6. Exporting and printing
   • Export clips as self contained or reference movies, keeping original settings or recompressing with a new codec, with either one movie concatenating all the selected clips or a separate movie for each clip
   • Add a security video-style display of recording date/time to exported movies (burnt in or as a separate text track)
   • Export catalogs as HTML
   • Print detailed reports containing all or selected clips according to your chosen view, either with or without thumbnails
   • Print a single page index print or "contact sheet" containing a summary of the contents of a tape, with the name, timecode, recording date and a thumbnail of each scene
   • Print selected images (any number per page)
7. Presenting media
   • Present images in a slide show
   • Present movies and slide shows windowed or full screen, with keyboard control of looping, playback size, speaker volume, and logging commands.
   • Perform rough cut editing by rearranging clips within a storyboard view
   • View the contents of a tape or program using a timeline sequence view

VDMX b0.7.4.0 is a powerful tool that is designed to meet the demands of realtime video performance.

Built around a robust data processing architecture it was designed to be used with whatever hardware- or software- you've got available. VDMX is a software based, media processing environment that lets you achieve stunning effects in real time. By linking together and controlling VDMX modules, you build your own virtual video studio, which is equally adept at event production, post production and motion design.

Following in the footsteps of audio software trends, video software and hardware are now fast enough to compete with expensive hardware boxes for doing real-time SD and HD mixing and FX processing. Using your Macintosh, you can achieve astonishing results that are infinitely more flexible than dedicated hardware, for a fraction of the cost. VDMX not only saves you money on hardware, but also saves time. Because of its real time architecture and a control design which encourages creative exploration, you can count on VDMX to get better results faster than working with timelines.

Major Features:

1. Visual Effects and Motion Graphics
   • Taking advantage of Apple's CoreImage technology, VDMX5 leverages the latent processing power of your GPU, performing accurate and lightning-fast composition and rendering of visual effects in realtime at broadcast and HD quality. VDMX5 is also fully compatible with Quartz Composer, Apple's freely-available groundbreaking motion graphics visual development environment. Any Quartz Composer patch can be opened and played back in VDMX5, which provides an interface for controlling and interacting extensively with the loaded patch, putting the power of Quartz 2d, CoreImage, and OpenGL at your fingertips.
2. Videoinstrumentalism
   • The rendering engine isn't all that's realtime- VDMX's workflow is designed to let you treat your studio like an instrument. Plug in a piece of midi hardware and use it to trigger clips, scratch video, fade between layers, or adjust the parameters of an effect. It's all instantaneous- no more keyframes, constant tweaking of values, or long waits for things to render. VDMX frees you to explore ideas quickly, taking you in directions you may never have thought of, and what you see is always what you get. The difference is tangible: from the moment you launch it the focus is on creating smooth, responsive video- not a timeline.
3. Audio/Visual Performance
   • Whether you are a musician looking to add video to your set, or a VJ working with a different DJ every night, VDMX5 makes bridging the worlds of audio and video easier than ever. Leveraging the power of MIDI, your favorite audio performance and sequencing software can remotely control VDMX without ever having to switch applications mid-show. Using the built-in audio analysis plugin, any effect or control in VDMX becomes audio reactive with the click of a mouse.
4. Modular Architecture
   • VDMX is just where it starts- it's merely the shell. By loading plugins from an ever-expanding list of available add-ons, you can define not only the rendering pipeline, but your interface for interacting with your video. Any setup can be saved and instantly restored, making it possible to switch between sets on the fly. VDMX isn't just a video processing application; it lets you put together the video application you need for the job instead of being tied to a single fixed interface.

Requirements:

• 1GHz or faster PowerPC G4, PowerPC G5 or Intel Core processor
• MacOS X 10.5.0 or later
• QuickTime 7.0.4 or later
• 512MB or more of RAM
