Voop is meant to be simple and lightweight videoart tool.
It can sync [relatively short] video clips with running music software via Ableton Link.

Place this in the "./samples" in the root of this repo. open Carabiner, and run Voop:

go run .

You can run it with a path to your videos

go run . --folder="folder/with/your/videos"

Running Carabiner on 127.0.0.1:17000 is a must - because currently Link is the only supported transport. The simplest way is to download a pre built binary

You also need OpenCV.
On mac it can be installed via brew

brew install opencv

Note that video codec is critical - no application in the world will be backward-happy with temporal encoding like mp4. Best option so far is Apple ProRes. Here's some ProRes encoded samples if you place it in ./samples in the root of this repo you can run voop with no arguments:

go run .

you can also run Voop with customized config:

go run . --config="path/to/your/config"

if no config is specified Voop will be started with default ./config.yml, which can be customized as well. It is also a good overview of actions that could be done with Voop.

Some of Voop's default shortcuts:
'>' - next video
'<' - previous video
'/' - random video
']' - next folder
'[' - previous folder
'§' - random folder
'=' - faster
'-' - slower
'0' - default speed
