Beta Version
🚀 Millumin 5 is currently in beta !
It will be officially released early 2025.
A lot of new features to test … and some more coming soon 🔥
Note that it requires macOS Big Sur 11 minimum.
InformationA beta version is for tests purpose. Do not use it in production environment unless you have correctly tested it with your project. Otherwise, please use the official version (you can get it from Millumin's website or from your account page).
To automatically receive the beta versions, run Millumin and activate the proper option in Preferences/Update :
Quick-Find
Press CMD+ENTER to bring up this pop-up window and quickly import some media. Indeed, with a few smart filters, you can browse easily your library, even looking for a color to match !
For an even quicker access, double click where to import your content directly in the timeline for example.
Synced Finder Folder
Drag-and-drop a folder from Finder to Millumin and voilà : its whole content is now part of the library. And of course, if you add, remove or update a file deep inside hierarchy of this folder, it is all synced for you ! The perfect friend of the quick-find feature …
Note that files outside such folders are also synced automatically.
Column Transitions
You are not limited to crossfade any more : use a built-in one or design your own transition with a movie or an ISF shader.
JavaScript … scripts
With this brand new powerful feature, you can do almost everything : control Millumin, control a random another application, get data from Internet, react to Millumin’s or MIDI, OSC, LeapMotion… events.
More info in this article : Scripts
For example, synchronizing columns between 2 computers has never been that easy :
Timelines with Multiple Canvases
Design your timeline with multiple spaces. And of course, you can embed such a timeline in the dashboard, this will nicely display the content for each canvas of your timeline.
Output Warping
Quickly warp with double-clicks and drags.
Scaling Constraint
We redesigned the constraints applied to a layer, so you can quickly fit and fill the canvas, or use a custom size. Very practical for pixel-perfect content.
Rearrange Canvases
Whatever you have a few or many canvases, rearrange them in the workspace in a snap …
Audio at Layer-level
Manage the audio for all the media of a layer at once. Pretty handy.
Generate Timecode
For many years, Millumin was able to receive timecodes, but now, it can directly generate some.
Swap Media in Library
Because you prepared your show at home, you used this placeholder instead of the real camera, and now you want to swap media in your project? Well, right-click and it is done.
Manage Multiple Columns
Insert, duplicate, move, remove, … a batch of columns easily.
New Color-picker
A new and elegant way to choose a color :
Timeline Proxy
For timelines that can ask some resources to be rendered, especially timelines embed in timelines embed in timelines, … use a proxy to pre-render everything 👌
Bezier Keyframes
If you are one of those who want great precision to animate, here are the bezier keyframes !
Laser Masks
Use masks to avoid projecting lasers in some areas.
It can also be used to attenuate laser intensity, as masks have opacity.
AJA update for Inputs/Outputs
We have updated Millumin to use the latest AJA library, thus supporting recent devices.
Wifi communication for Arduino™
The Arduino™ Uno R4 now features Wifi : while programming still requires USB connection, the data can flow via Wifi, allowing you to communication without any cable between your computer and your Arduino™.
