About VDMX
VDMX5 is a realtime multimedia performance application.
After several years of collaboration and continuous development, we’ve received a huge amount of feedback about VDMX5- the only way to accommodate the changes and additions requested by users was to redesign and rewrite VDMX5 from scratch with a substantially different structure and workflow. As a result of these changes, b8 is noticeably different from the builds which have preceded it- this page contains various video tutorials and documentation for the next major series of builds of VDMX5.
Getting started with VDMX
In this manual you will find detailed information about the workflow and user interface of VDMX.
Installing VDMX

- Follow the instructions in the installer
- Look in the ‘Extras’ folder for other bundled software that you may want to install
VDMX Compatibility
VDMX is currently Mac only. It will run on both Intel and M series (Apple Silicon) machines. As of b8.8.0.1+ the VDMX5 application builds are Universal (Intel/M1, M2, M3). Previous versions of VDMX5 may run on newer Apple Silicon macs under Rosetta 2; however, we recommend you run the latest version of VDMX5 on newer machines. Which version of VDMX is compatible with your machine will depend on which version of OSX you are running. See VDMX5 versions for information on legacy downloads and OSX compatibility VDMX Versions
Additional Sample Media Downloads
Along with the application and included extras you may want to download some of the available Sample Media movie files and interactive generators to use with VDMX.
