A few questions

[wrybread]

I'm new to Resolume and absolutely loving it. Just a few questions, thought I'd put them all in one place:

- is it possible to move clips around in a deck? In other words, if I have a clip in position Row2Column3, can I move it to Row1Column1 without using the File Browser and re-importing it?

- Is it possible to play a clip and have it disappear from the layer as soon as it finishes play? In other words, I'd click the clip, it would play once, and then drop from the layer so other layers aren't affected by it anymore. I know I can set it to play once instead of loop, but then it still sits on the layer when its done playing.

- is it possible to set transparencies for pictures in some way other than Luminakeying or Autotransparency? Would be nice to be able to use transparent PNGs to have total control over what parts of a picture are made transparent.

- is it possible to loop through a part of a clip? In other words, a clip would start 5 seconds in and loop until 10 seconds before the end?

- how to write text? Do I just use the sample SWFs/FLAs in the demo? If so, is there any way to swap fonts short of recompiling the FLAs?

- is there a more complete (or additional) manual than the one downloaded with the program?

- does anyone have any suggestions for good programs to create loops with? I've been using VirtualDub but, as far as I can tell, it doesn't have any sort of loop preview feature.

Thanks for any help.

don't think so

try a movie with alpha I think? not sure which codec tho.

Yep there are in and out points on the layer time lines

Not sure but I think yep recompile. Use Flash 8 or below.

Not found one, right click lots of stuff

Thanks for the tips.

Is this the only Resolume forum? This is such a great program and I'm guessing there's lots of people obsessively using it. Can anyone recommend another forum to use in addition to this one?
