User reviews

Bro

This is the type of app you’d assume there would be hundreds of but, remarkably, this is the only one I have found. A little finicky, slightly fidgety, but otherwise functional and obviously brilliant. I hope the developer continues to support the app with future updates (thinking visual fx would be highly useful) but if you are into video synthesis and need something to accompany input, sequencing, and hardware then this is it.

Great, please add a β€œloop when video ends” option

Thank You

Thank you for taking the feedback from users and making such great innovations of improvement. Coupled with the answers you provided in V1.0 this new update will provide new avenues to enhance my current workflows. This App is a true Gem for us Creatives.

Response from developer

This is improved in the 1.1 update -- if you touch and drag on the lower quarter of the screen, you can scrub back and forth precisely. The MIDI pitch bend will do scrubbing too. Hope this helps, and thanks for the review!

Very Nice

Love this App. It’s a great tool and could be even better if we could assign a midi cc to the video scrubber. My fat fingers struggle to achieve precise positioning on the video timeline. Please add this capability. Thanks you very much :)
