In her April, 2017 column, Vickie Claiborne put the online tutorial for Notch through its paces, and brought PLSN readers along for the ride. Here’s her summary of the program: “Notch is a node-based, real-time compositing software package that can be used as either a stand-alone media server or in conjunction with other media servers like d3 vR14, Hippotizer v4.2, Avo’s AI v9.1, and 7th Sense Delta Media Server. It can be used to create and play back generative effects in real-time, letting users edit and create HD content in a node-based environment. Node-based media servers allow the user to create compositing chains, linking together elements to create a scene. Regardless of the type of compositing chain being created, Notch scenes begin with a Root Node that links the chain to the output. Next step is to drop in a node of some type. This is when the options begin.”
