    Dunno if I'll get the right response in this forum but it seems like the only forum I should put it in.

    Got a mate whos asked me to look into doing visuals for a couple of gigs hes got coming up in a while. Nothing too fancy, just swirling colours with maybe a bit of text here and there.

    Said to him I'd look into doing it myself off a laptop. Anyone here have any experience doing this?What kind of programs do you use etc??

    Any help much appreciated!

    Depends on what equipment is available. Some clubs I have gigged in use a digital projector (roof mounted so no fecker can pull it down!), and then either a DVD (movie, slideshow, or music videos), or pc/laptop (same with the DVD,s plus Powerpoint visuals).

    After that, it is trial and error. You can find a lot of psychadelic visuals cheap on the net, hard to find free ones. If going to be used a lot, their worth the money.

    Not sure if it's too late for you, but R4 is by far the best / most powerful visualisation program I've found around the net. Theres a free version, registered version is about 300 bills.

    It's really customisable, can even be remotely administered from another pc on the same network. Does scrolling text, visualisation rating, visualisation customising, pretty much everything.

    I was looking into programs for stuff like this a while back and it was the best one I found by a long shot. The unregistered one only has a tiny unregistered message on it, I'd say itd still be grand to use.
