Variable in/out-points?

[Gicasso]

I've been looking into this for the past three days, and I can't seem to find a decent solution.

I want a video clip to loop between an in-point, and a variable out-point.

For example, this could be my video: A----B------------C. I'd like it to loop between point A and B for as long as necessary, and upon the press of a button or an OSC command switch to point C as the out-point, ignoring point B. It's vital that I don't have to reset the playhead.

I've tried shifting the points through OSC, using /activeclip/video/position/values/, but I absolutely don't want to reset the playhead - it should just carry on as it is. Unfortunately, the command doesn't work with just two values passed, and it will simply shift the playhead instead.

I've tried to split the clip into two parts (A to B, and B to C), and set the Auto Pilot to "Play Next Clip" via OSC, but there doesn't seem to be an OSC command for that.

Any idea how to solve this seemingly simple problem?

Cheers.

I think the only way to do this, is to use Midi instead of OSC :/
