I can see where that would be a better approach. That approach should also get rid of what I referred to as "Slice constraints" where your effect is bound to 1 slice. Mostly I am trying to learn better ways to do things. With the ultimate goal of less prerendering and more Live effects tha...

I think I can get the Arena mapping and slices. I did like how that other tool seemed to have an "Edge detect" of the slices with lines that stated chasing. Ultimately that is close to what I was looking to do, except their lines seemed to stay within each slice. It would be great to have ...

So I am just getting started in this VJ world. I have some Adobe Graphics & Design experience over the last couple years. I was asked by a DJ friend who also uses Resolume to help achieve an idea that he has seen. I want to help make the lines in this clip https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q1F0kt3...

Sounds like you already know. No mapping, get Avenue. If you need DMX, you need Arena.

It is also important to say that you don't need to do mapping to use Arena. It can be used just like Avenue, but you always have the capability of more. Download and test, demo mode is fully functional.

Yea, I just noticed all the other options under mapping. Funny how when learning something new, you find a few things that you use and just keep working those functions without looking other around as much. Loving the software, so much to do! At some point I am going to have to start paying attentio...

Totally understood and thanks for the warning. I was thinking of using Lemur OSC, so maybe I need to go that way sooner than later. I can see the benefit of the macros though which is why I did not ask to change it. My DJ software is just different and that is what I am use to. With that software, I...

I think you are right. Just not use to a program that allows "double key mapping". I thought that if I mapped something it would overwrite the old action. Guess I will look at defaulting the map and trying to use something else.

I think I am seeing a similar issue with Arena 5. Like you, it seems that when I trigger a clip with the mouse all works fine. When I use a mapped key, many times I see the timeline Start and Stop marks for a clip snap together. So the clip stops playing. Sometimes it leave me with a still image on ...

I should also mention this thread on the NVIDIA forums: https://forums.geforce.com/default/topic/809482/strange-screen-tearing-in-directx-windowed-mode-on-gtx-970m-amp-gtx-870m/ It seems to speak about my problem exactly and mentions my 870m card in the first sentence. Also to note that they are usi...

Sorry for the delay, So the Target option has "DS + MF (32)" selected by default. Should I change it to anything specific like 64 bit? Just kind of wondering what I should and should not mess with. For "DSF/MFT Viewer" I only have 2 red items under the DirectShow box I have "...
