Clip time via OSC?

[looperhacks]

Is it possible to have the remaining time of a clip posted via OSC? I'd like to show our show hosts and other team members how long videos will run, so they can prepare for the end of a clip. Is it possible to send the remaining time of a clip (maybe as a text)?

Yeah looperhacks,

It might help to know what is the destination application that will receive the OSC data?

[looperhacks]

I'd probably write the software myself, so if there's another way to feed the clip time into external applications, that would be great, too!

If you're writing the app yourself, you could calculate the remaining time based on the incoming Transport position message values, and their timing.
It's floats, so once it would get to 1 with a clip playing forwards, the clip would reach it's end.

That's awesome, thank you! Is it possible to get the total time of a clip? I couldn't see anything like this in my OSC monitor.

If you assume that clips play at nominal speed, or ask Resolume for the clip speed, you can calculate their approximate length also

You can also get the duration (or rather the values of the in and out points) of a clip by parsing the composition avc file
