Automatically Importing Clips

[projectneptune]

I know that after using Resolume's built in record function, clips are automatically imported into the deck from a specific file directory. I am wondering if there is a way to reprogram this function to "auto-import" clips from a directory by being triggered by midi at a specific time? I am working on a project where I wish to capture a live feed of a performance using syphon recorder. I would like to be able to trigger the import of the recording and play the clip as quickly as possible. Worst case scenario I can take the minute to drag the clip in to resolume. Just wondering if such an alteration is possible in order to streamline the process? I can't use the built in resolume recording function as the performance is too long.

Thanks!

I have the same problem. I need to be able to record longer clips and have a way to quickly make them part of my composition. Have you found any way to do this yet Projectneptune? Or have any one else a quick fix for this?

you could write a processing sketch that would listen for change in a directory, and would load the latest file, and stream that over syphon or spout to resolume.

then you'd need to launch the syphon/spout clip in resolume to view it, processing could do that also via midi or osc, on succesful file load.

If you are interested, for still images I have a similar working solution that loads still images from web urls, or a directory, and streams them over syphon/spout.
