Spout is a video frame sharing system for Microsoft Windows that lets applications share OpenGL and DirectX (9/11/12) textures between processes, similar to Syphon on macOS. It provides a C++ developer SDK, a C-compatible library, and sample applications.
Use cases
- share video frames between two creative coding apps
- send Resolume output into TouchDesigner
- share OpenGL textures between Windows applications
- pipe generative visuals into an ESP or VJ workflow
- exchange DirectX 11 textures between renderers
- integrate real-time visuals across multiple media applications
When to avoid
- you are on macOS or Linux rather than Windows
- you only need file-based video export rather than live frame sharing
- you need network streaming to remote machines rather than local inter-process sharing
