VidDancer is an innovative VST plugin that integrates video playback and editing directly within your digital audio workstation. Designed to enhance creative workflows, it allows you to manipulate video footage by playing it forwards or backwards at adjustable speeds. This control extends to precise cue point navigation, enabling seamless jumps to different parts of the video, all driven by MIDI input for dynamic performance and composition.

Beyond video manipulation, VidDancer synchronizes the video’s original soundtrack with the visual changes, offering the option to morph audio in real time so that sound and image remain tightly linked. Additionally, it accepts external audio input, which is mixed with the video audio to create rich, layered soundscapes. This functionality allows musicians and producers to craft immersive audiovisual projects without leaving their DAW environment.

The plugin’s MIDI mapping is highly customizable, enabling users to assign playback speeds and cue jumps to specific notes, much like a sampler or drum machine. Once the creative process is complete, VidDancer captures the combined audio and video output and exports it as a final video file, delivering a polished audio-visual production ready for distribution or further editing.
