three ways to work

still. video. live. one editable stack

madphase interface showing a cymatic sand composition, layer stack, parameters, and timeline keyframes

still mode

Compose one frame at full quality. Stack images, text, generated sources, selected video frames, groups, blend modes, and masks; every effect stays editable. Export PNG, JPEG, WebP, TIFF, BMP, TGA, or EXR.

video mode

Turn the same stack into a timed sequence. Keyframe parameters and layer controls, trim and place footage, use temporal effects, and drive motion from an audio file or video soundtrack. Export MP4, MOV, WebM, or GIF.

live mode

Run the Video timeline as a continuous real-time performance. System audio or a microphone can drive any parameter by level, frequency band, or beat; Play controls the timeline and input together, with a separate Canvas Output window for presentation.
