Using Arena for corporate shows - rehearsals specifically.

[ianmcdan]

I use Arena for all the fun stuff.. but the stuff that pays the bills is corporate.

I'm all good for run of show. It works perfectly. But for rehearsals there's one thing I get asked for all the time, and I haven't found a solution.

The show caller always says "Go to the last 30 seconds" or some other time. They're used to Mitti and Playback Pro that has that feature built in. But for me I have 7 layers of different videos playing at different timing. So I realize the complexity of the ask. I usually just tell them that they'll only see if playing correctly on one clip.. then scrub through manually.. which sounds and looks terrible... and only is happening on the video with audio connected.

Is there a creative way to do this with OSC or Companion or something?

This one works if you have the same length clips. viewtopic.php?p=53188#p53188

I work pretty heavily in the corporate world as well. Most the time they don't need the last 30 sec, just something that shows the end, it could be 5-10 sec and they're happy.

Just have companion send a float value of 0.9 to
/composition/selectedclip/transport/position
