interface space

Post by visions »

I use a lot of very short clips in my composition. I had to put them into small decks in order to reduce the switching time between them. Now I have 54 decks, and interface of switching them is weird! look that at right there is free space for some additional tabs... A workaround of a scroll bar or group them by pages would be very usefull... Look at the screenshot:

Yeah, we need to look at this and improve it.

For now, you can close decks. Closing a deck will make it disappear from the composition, but doesn't delete it. You can open them back up from the browser.

I usually start my show with 3-4 decks and as the night progresses, I add closed decks from the browser. Once the bar becomes too full ( 10-11 decks ) I start closing again the decks that I'm not using anymore.

Btw, I'd love to see that storm trooper loop. Pretty please?

If I number my decks 01, 02, 03.....I can legibly fit 26 decks on my MacBook Pro which gets you almost half way there. Note that if you number 1, 2, 3, etc... you won't be able to see as many!

But if I label my decks 1, 2 ,3 .... A, B C, D, ...... a, b, c, d...., u I can legibly fit 56 decks on my MBP and it's pretty easy to select decks.

Thank you!
I uploaded it here: http://we.tl/f2COpGjTM5
It's a dxv-alpha 640x480 file, wich I use synched to 2 beats.
That's my style... most of my footage is made by me, or heavily modified someone else's work.
Use it with discretion ;)
...and sorry for the off-topic.
