Vuo 2.4.0 is a free update that includes several improvements. Highlights include:
- Added support for exporting FxPlug plug-ins that run natively on Apple Silicon (M1/ARM64)
- Added a console window (Tools > Show Console) that displays log messages
- Adopted several community nodes as built-in nodes
- Updated to the NDI 5 SDK, which now includes Apple Silicon (M1/ARM64) support
Also, in this release we dropped support for OS X El Capitan (10.11) and changed the minimum system requirement to macOS Sierra (10.12).

- Fixed issue where
Make Image from Web Page
would output an incorrect image when the width wasn’t a multiple of 32 (Thanks to @keithlang for reporting this!) - Fixed issue where global mouse coordinates would change depending on which screen the active window was on (Thanks to @cwilms-loyalist for reporting this!)
- Documented scaling of the
Calculate Amplitudes for Frequencies
node’s output; added “Compare Scaled Audio Frequencies” example composition (Thanks to @video piglet for reporting this!) - Fixed incorrect “Position” output of
Cycle through List
node after inputting a smaller list and sending an event to “Go Backward” (Thanks to @cremaschi for reporting this!) - Fixed issue where
Change All Shaders
would sometimes cause the composition to crash when rendering a previous copy of the scene while changing shaders in the upcoming scene (Thanks to @Mike Iv for reporting this!) - Fixed issue where
Save Images/Frames to Movie
would crash when passed an audio frame with 0 or more than 2 channels (Thanks to @keithlang for reporting this!) - Improved performance of many List and Math nodes when working with large lists
- Enabled AV Foundation / VideoToolbox’s “professional” video codecs, to maybe speed up ProRes on Mac Pro systems with Afterburner
- Added a
Keep Average (List)
node to calculate a rolling average or overall average for each item in a list, and added the option forKeep Average
to calculate a rolling average (Thanks to @khenkel for contributing to this!) - Fixed crashes when passing out-of-range values to various nodes (
Make Parametric Points
,Make Parametric Grid Points
,Make Parametric Object
,Make Points in 2D/3D Grid
,Make Random Value/List with Seed
,Make Date-Time
) - Fixed incorrect texture coordinates when using
Intersect 3D Objects
,Subtract 3D Objects
, andUnion 3D Objects
- Fixed potential crash when using the deprecated versions of the
Allow Changes
,Changed
,Decreased
, orIncreased
nodes with the Screen, URL, or Video Input Device types
Exporting Apps and Plugins
- Fixed crash when using an FxPlug in Apple Compressor (Thanks to @AN 2x4 for reporting this!)
- Reduced latency when starting a composition exported as an FFGL plugin (Thanks to @vidbeat for reporting this!)
- Fixed issue where the
vuo-export
andvuo-compile
CLIs didn’t work for protocol compositions - Translated more of the text in the warnings about system requirements for exports
- Fixed issue where the File > Export > Movie’s progress bar didn’t update on macOS 12
Vuo Editor
- Improved français translations (Thanks to @Kewl for working on this!)
- Fixed crash when opening a node title editor, comment editor, or published port name editor, then pressing Escape without making any changes (Thanks to @jon121 and @keithlang for reporting this!)
- Fixed issue where a Quit menu item would sometimes appear in the File menu, and the Quit menu item in the Vuo menu would sometimes be disabled (Thanks to @jfg and @pbourke for reporting this!)
- Added more console log messages to assist with troubleshooting compositions
- Changed the port popover for
Make Image with Shadertoy
to not show the full shader code - Fixed crash when working with compositions that contained nodes compatible with missing types
- Added more keywords for text, list, and table nodes
Documentation and Examples
- Clarified the Vuo manual section on adding a comment by including the Markdown format for linebreaks and paragraphs (Thanks to @keithlang for requesting this!)
- Expanded documentation on color depth for the
Render Scene to Image
,Render Scene to Stereo Images
, andBlend Images
nodes (Thanks to @jersmi for requesting this!) - Expanded documentation on multisampling for the
Render Scene to Image
andRender Scene to Stereo Images
nodes
Vuo Compiler and Runtime
- Added support for custom nodes that use run-path-dependent dynamic libraries (Thanks to @cremaschi for reporting this!)
SDK
- Fixed issue where the
vuo-compile
CLI couldn’t process some 3rd-party C++ library headers (such as OpenCV) (Thanks to @cremaschi for requesting this!) - Converted the
vuo-debug
command-line tool to example code - Enabled support for throwing and catching C++ exceptions from within nodes and types (in addition to libraries, which already allowed them)
- Fixed crash when loading a node class whose list of dependencies contains one ending with “.dylib”
