basically what i want to do in autopilot mode is the following:
on one layer I am running a background-video or some live-feed from the party. This should be overlaid with some abstract clip-loops in the next layer, some effects being linked to audio fft. To avoid getting boring, the abstract clips should change, say every 30 seconds. So I would like to load that layer with any clips I choose, set their duration to 30 seconds and let autopilot random them through. I know I could pre-process the loops to 30 secs. length. But a duration setting would be so much easier and I have always been wondering why it isn"t there

English:
Please let at autopilot "individual" or "all" Clips repeated several times before the next clip is playing.
Thank You
German:
Bitte bei Autopilot "einzelne" oder "alle" Clips mehrfach wiederholen lassen bevor der nächste Clip abgespielt wird.
Danke

I'd like to set the number of times a clip loops before autopilot action. Some loops are very short (one bar, maybe even one beat) and it is silly to have to render out a longer clip made of copies.
Another option I'd like to see is autopilot after a fixed duration (time or bars), eg every 30 seconds, independent of clip lengths.
Thirdly, I'd like to have a buttons for "one-shot" autopilot actions: previous, next, random. At the moment the only way to do it is turn on autopilot (forward, reverse, random) and subsequently turn off autopilot.

Here's a little processing sketch:
nClipLen is the length you want the clips to play for in seconds and nMaxClip is the number of clips you want to cycle through.
Code: Select all
// start OSC config
import oscP5.*;
import netP5.*;
/*portToListenTo, port we are listening on, this should be the same as
the outgoing port of TouchOsc on your iphone
*/
int portToListenTo = 7001;
/*portToSendTo, port we are sending to, this should be the same as
the incomning port of Resolume 3, default it is set to 7000, so you wouldn't need to change it.
*/
int portToSendTo = 7000;
/*ipAddressToSendTo, ip address of the computer we are sending messages to (where Resolume 3 runs)
*/
String ipAddressToSendTo = "localhost";
OscP5 oscP5;
NetAddress myRemoteLocation;
OscBundle myBundle;
OscMessage myMessage;
//end OSC config
int nClip = 1;
int nClipLen = 5; //length of clips
int nMaxClip = 10;//number of clips to cycle through
String sAddress;
void setup() {
frameRate(1);
oscP5 = new OscP5(this, portToListenTo);
myRemoteLocation = new NetAddress(ipAddressToSendTo, portToSendTo);
myBundle = new OscBundle();
myMessage = new OscMessage("/");
}
void draw() {
boolean send = false;
int nSec = second();
if (nClip > nMaxClip) {
nClip = 1;
}
if (nSec % nClipLen == 0) {
sAddress = "/activelayer/clip" + str(nClip) + "/connect";
println(sAddress);
myMessage.setAddrPattern(sAddress);
myMessage.add(1);
myBundle.add(myMessage);
myMessage.clear();
nClip++;
send = true;
/* send the bundle*/
if (send)
oscP5.send(myBundle, myRemoteLocation);
myBundle.clear();
//wait a sec
while (nSec == second());
}
}

I would like to see this feature too! I always cut my loops to be as small and efficient possible. With the downside that they're very short when played with auto-pilot.

+1 for clip repeat number.
