Non-Lethal Applications updates Video Slave to v3.3 with new features and first Partner Integration of The Cargo Cult's Spanner Plug-in

Non-Lethal Applications has updated Video Slave, the video playback platform for users of DAWs, as well as standalone use in live situations, to v3.3, offering new features, the first partner integration with The Cargo Cult's Spanner 3 as well as numerous bug fixes.

Partner Integration
Over the coming months Non-Lethal Applications will be working with other developers to integrate their products into the Video Slave 3 player. The first developer to join the platform is The Cargo Cult with Spanner 3, the surround panner software. Integration now offers owners of both Spanner and Video Slave 3 a visual indication of the pan states in Spanner 3. It helps to give users a visual representation of the pan moves, so for example if someone is walking across a scene a visual pan state can indicate that it is following the actor by showing this as an overlay during the scene. This offers more precise pan automation settings for those mixing to picture.

New developers will be announced as soon as more details are confirmed.
