2 Tutorials for Onyx 3.0.3

2 New Tutorials have been created to highlight some of the features of Onyx 3.0.3 –

Tutorial #1: Basic Controls - Loading Video, Filters, and Camera Feeds
Tutorial #2: Basic Controls - Tempo Filters, Global Tempo, Transitions, Audio Visualizers

These can be found on the Video Tutorials Page. You’ll notice in the demo I’m using some filters not found in the build, there will be an update later this week to add more filters, effects, transitions, and visualizers. There will be many more tutorials, tutorial 3 will be about saving mix files, advanced features such as the loop machine, and how transitions and mix files can be used to create seamless visuals. Tutorial 4-6 will be about extending the core to easily create your own filters and effects, also, will highlight ways you can use the Onyx API to create installations, or other projects.

And please, pardon my speaking capabilities :).
