The product website is https://spaceage.tv/. ## Guide - [Home](https://manual.spaceage.tv/5.0.0/): Welcome to Visibox! - [Adding Clips](https://manual.spaceage.tv/5.0.0/adding-clips/): Once you have one or more Songs added to the Project, you can begin adding the visual Clips. - [Adding Songs](https://manual.spaceage.tv/5.0.0/adding-songs/): When you create a Project, it is populated with one Song automatically. - [Audio](https://manual.spaceage.tv/5.0.0/audio/): Audio Outputs - [Connecting Cameras & Video Inputs](https://manual.spaceage.tv/5.0.0/cameras/): Visibox's Camera Clip can display any live video feed — not just webcams. USB cameras are the most common input, but you can also feed in any HDMI source (a game console, a secondary computer, a video switcher, a broadcast camera) using an inexpensive HDMI capture adapter. If your computer sees it as a camera, Visibox can use it. - [Creating A Project](https://manual.spaceage.tv/5.0.0/project/): Visibox automatically saves your Project as you work, so you don’t have to worry about losing your work. Additionally, Visibox automatically saves backups as you work, so if your Project file becomes corrupted, you can restore it quickly and easily. Visibox also has "undo" and "redo" functionality, so you can step back through your changes if you make a mistake. - [Effects](https://manual.spaceage.tv/5.0.0/effects/): Effects are real-time visual transformations applied to individual Clips. They can add motion, texture, distortion, color shifts, and audio-reactive behavior to your visuals — all without modifying your original media files. You can apply one or more Effects to any Clip and customize them in the Effects Editor. - [Elgato Stream Deck](https://manual.spaceage.tv/5.0.0/stream-deck/): The Elgato Stream Deck is an excellent companion for Visibox. With live clip thumbnails on the buttons, playback controls, and Song navigation, it gives you tactile, eyes-free control of your show. - [Interface](https://manual.spaceage.tv/5.0.0/interface/): When you launch a Visibox Project, you see two windows: the Controller Window and the Output Window. Let’s take a look at the features of both. - [Media Management & Optimization](https://manual.spaceage.tv/5.0.0/media-management/): Visibox is designed to handle a wide variety of media formats and sizes, but optimizing your media can significantly improve performance and reliability. This section covers best practices for managing and optimizing your media files. - [Performing](https://manual.spaceage.tv/5.0.0/performance/): When you arrive at the performance venue, you will need to set up your laptop and display device (likely a projector). In this section, we’ll cover the basic hardware setup for a typical show, as well as tools in Visibox for making sure your image appears at the proper scale and orientation when projected on a screen or some other display device. - [Settings](https://manual.spaceage.tv/5.0.0/settings/): The Settings window is the central place to configure Visibox. Open it from: - [Support & Bug Reports](https://manual.spaceage.tv/5.0.0/support/): Visibox includes built-in Support and Bug Report windows that make it easy to reach us — and help us help you faster. - [Terminology](https://manual.spaceage.tv/5.0.0/terminology/): Simply put, a Visibox Project contains a number of Songs, each of which may contain a number of Clips. - [Using MIDI](https://manual.spaceage.tv/5.0.0/midi/): While it is possible to select Songs and trigger Clips using the mouse and computer keyboard, Visibox really comes alive when you connect one or more MIDI devices. Not only can you control all of the performance aspects of Visibox, many MIDI devices will also light up to show you what is happening without needing to look at the Controller display. - [Visibox Resources](https://manual.spaceage.tv/5.0.0/resources/): Everything you need to get the most out of Visibox — community, tutorials, content, and support. Most of these are also accessible from the Help menu inside Visibox. - [Visualizers](https://manual.spaceage.tv/5.0.0/visualizers/): Visualizers are live, generative, audio-reactive Clips — a built-in VJ engine with no media files required. Visibox includes two engines, ISF and MilkDrop, each with its own history and aesthetic. ## Editors - [Clip Editor Panel](https://manual.spaceage.tv/5.0.0/editors/clip-editor-panel/): Right-click any Clip thumbnail in the Controller Window to open the Clip Editor Panel — a floating tool panel for adjusting all of a Clip's settings with visual controls. - [Editor Panels](https://manual.spaceage.tv/5.0.0/editors/): Editor Panels are floating tool panels that appear when you right-click on Clips or Songs. They provide a richer editing interface than the application menus, with visual sliders, a color picker, a filter editor, and inline text input for precise values. - [Song Editor Panel](https://manual.spaceage.tv/5.0.0/editors/song-editor-panel/): Right-click any Song in the Controller Window to open the Song Editor Panel — a floating tool panel for managing Song contents, audio, and settings. ## Menus - [Application Menu (Mac)](https://manual.spaceage.tv/5.0.0/menus/menu-application/): The Application menu does not exist on Windows. These items are found in the File menu and Help menu instead. - [Clip Menu](https://manual.spaceage.tv/5.0.0/menus/menu-clip/) - [Edit Menu](https://manual.spaceage.tv/5.0.0/menus/menu-edit/) - [File Menu](https://manual.spaceage.tv/5.0.0/menus/menu-file/) - [Help Menu](https://manual.spaceage.tv/5.0.0/menus/menu-help/) - [Menus](https://manual.spaceage.tv/5.0.0/menus/): We recommend using Visibox’s keyboard shortcuts and right-clicking for contextual menus to quickly navigate and manipulate Songs and Clips. However, every function that has an efficient shortcut can also be accessed using the menus at the top of the application for instances when the mouse is preferable. - [Play Menu](https://manual.spaceage.tv/5.0.0/menus/menu-play/) - [Project Menu](https://manual.spaceage.tv/5.0.0/menus/menu-project/) - [Song Menu](https://manual.spaceage.tv/5.0.0/menus/menu-song/) - [Window Menu](https://manual.spaceage.tv/5.0.0/menus/menu-window/) ## Integrations - [AI Assistants](https://manual.spaceage.tv/5.0.0/integrations/ai/): You can control Visibox using natural language with an AI assistant like Claude, Cursor, Codex, Windsurf, Gemini CLI, VS Code, Zed, or Cline. Once connected, you talk to your show: - [Command Line Interface](https://manual.spaceage.tv/5.0.0/integrations/cli/): Visibox ships with a visibox command-line tool for controlling a running Visibox instance from your shell. It's a lightweight alternative to the AI Assistants integration for quick one-offs, shell aliases, scripting, and hotkey tools. - [Remote Pairing](https://manual.spaceage.tv/5.0.0/integrations/remote-pairing/): The Remote Pairing window lets you connect external devices and AI tools to Visibox over the network. Open it from Window > Remote Pairing. - [Visibox API](https://manual.spaceage.tv/5.0.0/integrations/api/): Visibox exposes a local network API that enables remote control, automation, and custom integrations.
