Extended functionality of AutoPilot
Posted: Mon Dec 10, 2012 14:55
Hi all
First post, be kind!
I've attached a Quartz patch I wrote that I found useful.. maybe you will too? It's pretty basic but does the job :)
I needed a bit more from AutoPilot - namely to jump to new clips at timed intervals rather than on BPM or at the end of the clip length. The idea was that my clips, however long they were, would loop and also could be changing (randomly) every 30 seconds or so. Very useful at times when it's more important that I'm at the bar rather than syncing visuals with any music! A bit like a slideshow, for footage.
Just drag it into a new layer, set the parameters for first clip, last clip, layer target and duration, and you're away! It uses OSC control so you need to check Resolume is set to be listening on port 8000. Good work to Mansteri.com whose OSC sender I used, that does the hard work.
EDIT: You'll need to install Mansteri's plugin too: http://mansteri.com/download/software/m ... ls_1_0.zip
EDIT x 2 You'll want to uncheck 'Update clip panel on external triggers' on the first page of Preferences, as this will stop the focus being taken to the new clip everytime it changes (and if you're updating quickly, like every second, you wont have time to do anything else - including disable the slideshow!!)
EDIT x 3 - updated the file attachment based on ReggieUnderground's feedback below
Cheers
