A simple Core Image kernel based effect, that allows for offsetting the R, G and B channels of an image on the x and y axis.
Probably quite similar to Memo’s version from way back in the day, but I can’t seem to download that one
Detailed Info:
Controls:
Pretty self explanatory: X and Y offset for each channel.Download:

A neverending ribbon twists its way through 3D space.
Based on the VertexNoise.qtz patch from the GLSL examples in the Dev Tools
Mad props go to Mr Monkeypresso for the idea. And of course to Philip Rideout of 3d Labs, Inc who wrote the GLSL code.
Contains GLSL code which is Copyright (c) 2005-2006: 3Dlabs, Inc.
Detailed Info:
Controls:
Speed: make the ribbon go slower or faster
Hue: change the colour on the flyDownload:

A crosshairs appears over the video, and searches the screen. Pressing the button ‘locks’ the crosshairs in place. Works great with a live camera input from the crowd. Offers both mouse control and random mode.
Detailed Info:
Control_Switch: Switches movement control between random and VDMX input.
Lock: ‘Locks’ the crosshairs in their current position. Colour will change from green to red. Text will start flashing.
Size: Controls the size of the crosshairs.
Speed: Controls the speed of the random movement (note: does nothing when in VDMX control)
X/Y position: Allows for user input or syncing to VDMX data sources like mouse input (note: does nothing when in Random control)Download:

This is a Quartz Composer Clip macro, that allows for a linear translation of a variable number. Basically you can use it to translate a number within a certain range (say [0,1]) to a new range (say [-1,1]). Fill in the old and new ranges, and attach the input. The patch will take care of the math for you.
Place the .qtz file in ~yourhomefolder/Library/Application Support/Apple/Developer Tools/Quartz Composer/Clips. It should then be available from the patch creator window.
Inputs:
value – the value to be translated
oldMin – the old minimum of the value (ie 0)
oldMax – the old maximum of the value (ie 1)
newMin – the new minimum of the value (ie -1)
newMax – the new maximum of the value (ie 1) -

A beta version of a qcplugin for VDMX that spits out sequential values, with a controllable random factor. Useful for getting a simple random playback of a clip.
Random rate controls how often the playhead will jump to a new random point.
Playback speed does what it says on the tin: controls the speed of playback of the clip. This is the part that still needs work, because ideally this should take its cue straight from VDMX.Now also with automatic or manual trigger options:
auto_trigger_switch turns automatic triggering on or off
random_trigger gives a new random value when auto_trigger is offgoto10_RandomPlayback.qtzThis patch now uses some private beta VDMX options and I don’t feel comfortable sharing that on the world wide web yet. Please contact me directly if you want to beta test.
