Resolume Forum

hello, there is a knob called Griffin PowerMate . its a jogdail with USB connector. If u would write an actionscript like "1 frame forward" use shortcut xxx and "1 frame backwards" use shortcut yyy you can scroll through the clip and also scratch. its works with finalcut and premiere, because there is a shortcut for "next frame" and one for "previous frame" the Griffin PoerMate can apply all shortcuts on your keyboard. i`m waiting for the day, when i can scratch my footage not only turning the direction. the timeline is too short and too rough for mouse-scatching.

your resolume is a great work

i just recogenised that 1 frame is too slow. i have to turn the jogdail too fast to get an running movie or an fast scratch. it think a "3 frame step" forward or backward would be better

I think it is a good idea and it seems easy to implement.

by the way the correct Name of the Device is : Griffin PowerMate

I was also looking into somehow mapping the keyboard stroke generated by the Griffin PowerMate into a midi signal of somesort. But I've never used a midi device before, so I'm lost in that field. Some initial googling suggested that this was possible, but I'm not sure how.

Has anyone got the Griffin PowerMate working in resolume to scratch video? It's a nice cheap alternative to purchasing a midi controller.

midi has the problem that u have only 128 steps of a slider. this is not enough because your clip has to be 5 sec long to get every frame rolling. is it longer, perhaps 20 sec, your playhead jumps 4 frames and this is not so nice. even the sliders and potis u can buy are so good for scratching. u need an turntable with min 12 cm diameters and more then 1 turns like a poti. the griffin would work with an shortcut in resolume, but there is nothing like that.
hope they will implement one.

hi!
at the moment, i am using fader of my pcr keyboard to scratch, and it works out fine. of course i can scratch the hwole clip - no matter how long it is.
i dont understand the problem, why 128 steps are not enough...?

i also have the power mate and would love to use it to scratch. i believe, that if there was some kind of shortcut, like you have for opacity or speed (1 step up, 1 step down), it would be easy to configure the powermate properly with its software!

It,s been on our todo feature list for ages to implement "scratch keys" so if you press a key it will jump foreward or backward a (configurable) number of frames. Or even a % of frames to make it usefull with long and short clips. But somehow we never got time to actually build it.

Hey bart, can u give us a little timewindow when u expact to build it?
