1. Create A Project: Start by creating a new project and setting up your stage. You can add multiple Songs, each with its own set of media files. Visibox is set up like a set list, scene list, or playlist - with a chunky interface that’s easy to see from a distance.
2. Import Your Media: Just drag your videos, images, and audio files into Visibox. You can also connect cameras and capture devices to bring live video into your performance.
3. Configure Playback: Set up your Clips to loop, play once, or trigger manually. You can also set up behaviors for what happens when you retrigger a currently-playing Clip or resume it after playing another Clip. There are filters and special effects. You can flip and rotate Clips, adjust their volume relative to one another, etc., etc.
4. Control Your Performance: Use your MIDI devices, keyboard, or mouse to control your visuals live. You can also use the Elgato Stream Deck for a more tactile experience.
