We love Quartz Composer, and we've had a great time creating with the Kineme community! However, creating plugins for QC has become increasingly frustrating for our team, since Apple's QC development subsided. So we decided to build a new visual programming environment that we could pour all our efforts into without hesitation — Vuo! (Read the whole story.) We’re excited to support new users and we hope you’ll consider contributing to development by purchasing a copy!
If you've ever bought $45 worth of Kineme plug-ins or apps, we're offering you a $25 discount on Vuo. Since Vuo now costs $49, this discount means you can get Vuo for only $24!
To claim your discount:
- Find your Kineme order numbers totaling $45 or more. (Log in to kineme.net, then select My Account > Orders to review your orders.)
- Send us an e-mail at info@vuo.org with the order numbers of your Kineme purchases.
- We'll send you a Vuo coupon code.
Don't miss this discount — get your Vuo subscription before January 1st, 2015! (We've decided to extend this offer through March 31st, 2015!)

Release Type:
Production
Version:
1.4
Release Notes
Changes since NetworkTools 1.3
- Enabled support for license activation using QuartzBuilder.
Release Type:
Production
Version:
2.1
Release Type:
Production
Version:
1.6
Release Notes
Changes since Art-Net Tools 1.5
- Changed network port settings so that multiple applications using Art-Net Tools can be opened on the same computer at the same time.
- Fixed crash in
Art-Net Receiver when a composition is started while there is a large amount of network traffic.
- Added workaround for issue when using
Art-Net Sender in Resolume Arena, so that it continues to send messages after stopping and restarting a clip.
Release Type:
Production
Version:
1.9
Release Notes
Changes since Kineme3D 1.8
- Added keyed structure output to the
Vertex Structure With Object patch.
- Added keyed structure input to the
3D Object with Vertex Structure patch.
- Fixed crash when running the
Mesh Blender patch in Resolume Arena.
Known Issues
- OS 10.8 introduced changes to the OpenGL calls made in QC's Mesh and Sprite patches. In OS 10.8 a
Sprite or Mesh Renderer patch rendered in the same scene and directly before a Kineme3D Object may corrupt the Kineme3D object's triangle buffer.
Workarounds:
- If possible, modify the rendering order such that
3D Object Renderer is before the Sprite patch, or not immediately following it.
- Use
3D Plane Generator and 3D Object Renderer in lieu of a Sprite patch.
Release Type:
Production
Version:
2.4
Release Notes
Changes since VideoTools 2.3
- Fixed crash when using the
Blackmagic Capture patch. (Bug reports: 1, 2, 3.)
- Improved quality of the YUV-to-RGB conversion in the
Blackmagic Capture patch (eliminated the vertical stripes).
- Added input ports to the
Blackmagic Capture patch to select which device and input connection to capture.
- Added more capture formats to the
Blackmagic Capture patch: 4k (23.98, 24, 25, 29.97, 30), NTSC-progressive, PAL-progressive.
- Improved error handling in the
Blackmagic Capture patch.
Credits
- The
Blackmagic Capture patch was commissioned by Stuart White of Control Freak Systems.
- Support for selecting and simultaneously capturing from multiple Blackmagic devices was sponsored by Igloo Vision.
Known Issues
- ProRes 4444 format does not support transparency (so videos are fully opaque)
- H.264 videos stutter when played backwards
- All VideoTools patches provide only video input, not audio input
- Firewire cameras only support certain combinations of Color Coding, Resolution, and Framerate. Watch the Error output and Console log when troubleshooting.
- Due to issues with the underlying frameworks, video device info cannot be queried once a video device is in use. Therefore Video Device Info is only updated once: when the composition is first started.
Release Type:
Production
Version:
1.2
Release Notes
Changes since Kineme2D 1.1
- Added support for the SVG path command S ("smooth curveto") to the
Vector Structure With SVG patch.
Known Issues
Triangle Structure With Vector and Extrusion With Vector will not generate triangles, and may under rare circumstances crash, when given a vector that intersects itself. - The example composition
Kineme2D-latheBalloon.qtz doesn't work on 10.8 due to a bug in QC's Interaction patch.
Vector Structure With SVG supports only a subset of the SVG language.
- Supported SVG features include:
- SVG files generated by Adobe Illustrator
- Some path elements (moveto, lineto, horizontal lineto, vertical lineto, curveto (cubic), smooth curveto, close)
- Basic shapes (rect, circle, ellipse, line, polyline, polygon)
- Text
- Groups
- Transforms
- Stroke/fill attributes
- Unsupported SVG features include:
- Size units other than pixels (inches, ems, percentages, ...)
- Gradients
- CSS
- Scripting
- Animation
