HeavyM has all the features you need
Projection mapping software available for Mac and Windows
01 CREATE
Manage several inputs at the same time
Create walls of images without difficulty. Import all your media into the software, organize them and then broadcast them at the same time. HeavyM is robust to handle your most ambitious projects. For each media, modify the playback options to obtain the desired result. Put the right content at the right place thanks to the ergonomic drawing tools.
Handle without constraints
Sometimes you need to adapt your video to a 3D volume. Don’t spend hours and hours creating a video that fits perfectly on your volume. Instead, use HeavyM’s built-in warping tools to warp your video on the fly to fit your set or object . You’ll never think about projection the same way after you start using it.
Organize your project in sequences
The HeavyM sequencer is a must. Organize your project in multiple sequences, combine them with beautiful transitions , activate them whenever you want, or schedule an entire performance with great precision. Create different patterns for each sequence and launch them with one click.
02 CONTROL
Add live video streams to your performances
The software is compatible with Syphon/Spout/NDI to allow you to stream the output of HeavyM to other visuals programs such as OBS or Resolume. Of course you can also stream the outputs of various compatible software into HeavyM. Multiply the graphic possibilities of your video jockey tools by combining them without limits.
MIDI/OSC/DMX controls
HeavyM software can be controlled live via different protocols: MIDI/OSC/DMX . Setting up the link to external controllers is done in a few clicks thanks to the interface-learning configuration. It only takes a few clicks to connect a tablet, a smartphone or a light console to your software for visuals. You can control the triggering of an effect or a sequence more easily than with a mouse. Your chow becomes a live performance.
Multi-projection and edge-blending
If one output is not enough for you, send the HeavyM output to several projectors and LED displays… as many as you want. Merge projectors with edge-blending features to broadcast your creations on a large scale. Create impressive projection mapping with several beamers with a few clicks.
