Thanks for helping Vuo reach version 1.0!

Now we need to help Vuo reach more people — so we're simplifying the way we sell Vuo.

You can check out our new Buy Vuo page to see the new deal.

We've released Vuo 1.0! You can download it now (and there's a free trial available!).

New in Vuo 1.0

We've worked feverishly to deliver several amazing new features and polish everything. Here's some of the new stuff in Vuo 1.0:

We're most excited to announce that Vuo 1.0 is on the way! We expect to release 1.0 on December 10th and here are a few things that will come with it…

Vuo 0.9 comes with 79 new nodes, and over 30 new example compositions to help you learn how the new nodes work. We've added nodes for receiving live video input via QuickTime — including the built-in iSight camera on MacBooks and iMacs. We also have new nodes for filtering images, blending objects and layers, using lists, and controlling the logic flow in your composition.

We added several new features to the editor, like the ability to drag media files directly onto the canvas and have the corresponding node automatically pop up. You can now drag cables backwards and edit published ports with sliders (essential when creating compositions for VJ apps like CoGe), and search for nodes by port names, too.

We've significantly improved stability and live coding performance, and have many more improvements in the works for 1.0.

Hey, it's Travis from Team Vuo. Lots of cool things have been happening since our 0.8 release:

CoGe adds support for Vuo

CoGe has released a public beta with experimental support for Vuo compositions! CoGe allows mixing and compositing inputs from a variety of sources, including Quartz Composer, Syphon, and live cameras — and now adds Vuo to the mix.

Vuo 0.8 is our biggest release yet, with 44 new nodes! We included 2 user-submitted feature requests — a barcode reader, and the ability to make windows full-screen on startup and change other window parameters. This release also includes our first premium node sets — the ability to render stereoscopic 3D images, and image warping for projection onto planetariums and other surfaces.

We’re putting the final touches on our 0.8 release and gearing up for 0.9! We're most excited to put this new functionality in the hands of our users. Below are some examples of what's in the works.

We recently completed a new video tutorial, "How to use TouchOSC for creative input in Vuo"! We examined our poll results regarding upcoming tutorials. Karl Henkel is drawn to work that empowers people to be creative and helpful.

On the survey we conducted a few months ago, the Vuo Community's top request was for more graphics capabilities. Let's get specific.
