Editorial interest 78/100 Selection signal · not a rating of the site

Free, open-source Windows software for warping video and images onto real surfaces and running a projection show from a computer or phone.

Landing page captured for the 2026-10-01 issue.

For: Small-venue show operators using Windows projectors
Worth noticing: Its mesh warp can start as a one-cell corner pin and subdivide for curved or irregular surfaces.

Field notes

The console separates preview from the live program and marks the preview “EDIT - NOT LIVE” when the two differ. A numbered alignment grid can be projected before media is loaded, and its mesh can be subdivided as needed. The page also describes one-minute recovery copies for unsaved shows and a rotating log, with a report-writing option for bug reports.
