Mix video, clips & live input
Lay video files, built-in or user created shaders, and live NDI/Spout/Syphon feeds onto a grid of layers and columns, then crossfade, trigger, and autopilot between them. Drop in H.264, DXV, HEVC, ProRes, HAP, and more.
The missing
LED mapping
tool has arrived.
Draw your LED fixtures on a canvas, then mix video and animations live to LEDs over Art-Net or sACN, and to monitors and projectors with built-in projection mapping. Filament is a full featured VJ mixer and LED player in one app.
Compose a whole show on a timeline
Flip the Player into Arrangement view and build a pre-recorded show on a timeline, DAW-style. Drop clips, video, and audio on tracks, trim and crossfade by dragging, and draw or record automation on any parameter. Arrange against a waveform, loop it unattended for months for installations, or export the whole piece to a video file.
Keep a library of ready artworks
Sketch your fixtures straight over a photo of your setup, set pixel counts per strip, and watch the layout build in real time. Store and organize your artwork in your library. Every pixel routes out over Art-Net or sACN with auto-assigned channels, protocol-aware channel maps, and transport diagnostics that catch conflicts before the audience does.
Project onto anything
Send the outputs straight to projectors, output files, Spout, Syphon, or NDI. Warp it onto whatever surface you're lighting with a grid-based projection-mapping editor. Freehand masking, edge blending, and bezier warp get you pixel-perfect maps.
Effects that stack
Build multipass GPU effect chains on any clip, layer, or the master output - blur, glitch, kaleidoscope, color, feedback, chroma/luma keying, and close to thirty built in. Write your own in WGSL. Motion locks to tempo, so nothing drifts off the beat.
A library that grows with you
Start from a growing library of built-in animations and generators with palette and parameter controls on every one. Save your best looks as presets, and drop in your own animations and effects whenever you outgrow the built-ins.
Reactive to sound and tempo
Map any parameter to live audio or draw your own envelopes and LFOs to make things breathe. Lock the whole rig to the DJ with Ableton Link or Pioneer CDJ.
Hands-on MIDI and OSC control
Plug in a controller, hit MIDI Learn, touch a control, move a fader. Map knobs and faders to any parameter and fire clips and columns from pads. Built for the exact purpose of driving a show live.
Built by someone who runs the shows
Filament is brought to you by Hexagon Intergalactic. I’ve been a software developer for 20 years, and a VJ / visual artist for 15+ years in every kind of room, from festival stages to art galleries to underground parties.
I built my first VJ software in 2013: a GLSL shader mixer with MIDI control, written in Processing 2. Since then, my work has spanned interactive installations, lasercut plywood sculptures, mapped LED lights, and many sorts of digital content.

Write your own effects in WGSL
A custom Filament effect is one WGSL file, written in a built-in editor with live preview - no build step, and a broken shader never takes the show down.
