This Jitter online course will allow you to get solid knowledge by easy and fast learning
Do you want to create original live visuals for music?
Are you a Jitter beginner or someone looking to consolidate skills?
Do you want to learn how to create audio reactive video in 3D or 2D?
Are you interested in including interactive video into your digital art creations?
Tired to learn Jitter from complex or isolated tutorials?
Explore the dynamic possibilities of live video within the MAX environment. This course is designed for musicians who want to incorporate sound visualization and visual music improvisation into their performances. Exploring animation and interactivity, this course welcomes anyone interested in the art of live video synthesis and real-time visual music performance.
Designed to demystify the complexities of live video, this course offers a step-by-step progression from basic concepts to intermediate techniques in Jitter. Dive into video file manipulation, explore 3D rendering, and real-time animation. You will also learn about compositing - the fundamental art of blending, adding, subtracting, and rearranging visual elements to create compelling visual effects.
Throughout this journey, you'll cultivate the essential skills necessary to master the basics of Jitter and develop creative independence. With unlimited access, you have the freedom to learn at your own pace, ensuring a comprehensive understanding of the course material.
