Live integration

Feature Intro Videosync Intro Videosync
Video playback in Session View Play videos on audio tracks in the Session View.
Video playback in Arrangement View Play videos on audio tracks in the Arrangement View.
Warp Timestretch videos, adjusting their playback speed to the project tempo.
Audio Effect Racks, Instrument Racks, Drum Racks Combine instruments and effects into Racks.
Send/Return tracks Send video to Return tracks to use them as bus channels for video.
Grouping Group audio and MIDI tracks together, routing their video output to the group track.
Routing Use the Audio From/To sections to route video signals.
Mixer Use volume faders and mute buttons to control opacity.
Crossfader Crossfade between the A/B channels with video.

Visual instruments

Feature Intro Videosync Intro Videosync
Tabula Creates a brightness-to-color table, which is used to map brightness of a sidechain input to color. Incoming MIDI notes define which parts of the table are used for mapping. Each note that falls within the note range, activates the mapping of a part of the total brightness range.
Video Simpler A mimic of Ableton Live's Simpler instrument. This device allows for easily triggering video content with MIDI notes.
Squares Generate white squares on the screen using MIDI notes that can follow two different envelopes.
External In An important routing element that allows you to use video signals from within Live, from other software using Syphon, or from external hardware devices.

Visual effects

Feature Intro Videosync Intro Videosync
Blur A blur effect with three modes: "Blur / Bloom", "Bokeh" and "Sharpen".
Color Mixer Manipulates the color and brightness components of an image. Selecting an optional sidechain source will allow you to blend the color and brightness of another track into the texture of the Color Mixer's host track.
Color Utility A simple device that provides control over video brightness, color, and alpha settings.
Color Swap New in Videosync 2.1 Replace colors with other colors or video sources. Transform any color into video sources, create smooth color remapping across entire images, or perform precise selective color replacement.
Colorize This device allows advanced color operations using Dark, Mid, and Light color controls to create dynamic color gradients based on the intensity of the input.
Crop Map This device is used for both cropping video and projection mapping. It offers various modes for scaling and cropping, along with options for inversion, wrapping, feathering, and precise corner adjustments.
Displacement A displacement effect with displacement map input. By default it displaces its own input, but it can also use the output of another track.
Feedback Copies the previous frame onto the current frame, resulting in an echo effect. While copying, the frame can be scaled horizontally and vertically.
Gradient Updated in Videosync 2.1 Create monochromatic and duochromatic gradients. Use Feather to go from a smooth gradient to two solid colors, while Spacing sets the distance between the two color planes.
ISF Shader Use any ISF shader with ease and integrate it into your Live Set. Comes with a curated collection of over 200 shaders, including Generators, Filters, and Transitions.
Keyer A very versatile device with a luminance and chroma keyer. It mimics the classic analog keying setup, allowing to set both the fill and the background images from sidechain tracks.
Lava Lava is a hybrid between a generator and an effect. Its pattern creation and image manipulation algorithms draw inspiration from Brownian Noise, emulating the variability found in many natural systems, giving an organic quality to the device's output.
Mirror A basic plugin used to flip and/or mirror the video.
Pixelate A simple plugin used to downsample the video resolution.
Properties Contains a collection of settings for tracks or rack chains which are not directly available in the interface of Ableton Live, including Blend Modes.
Status Does not have any usable controls, but is there to display the connection state, frames per second and maximum frame time. This is especially useful when running Videosync remotely over a network.
Transform Device for positioning, scaling and rotating video. When scaled down, Wrap can be used to fill the area around the scaled down video.
Video Monitor New in Videosync 2.1 The Video Monitor device makes it possible to view video signals inside any track or chain.
Video Recorder New in Videosync 2.1 Record video from inside any track or chain, or place it on the Main Track to record the entire session. Alternatively, you can select any Spout or Syphon source as input.
Voronoi Voronoi is a hybrid between a generator and an effect. Based on the Voronoi algorithm it allows both the creation and manipulation of images in a wide range of ways.
Wavvy A displacement video effect capable of enriching imagery by adding a variety of organically flowing and morphing distortions.
