Resolume Forum

Hi all, I'm a new Resolume user and have searched for an answer to my question but can't find a solution.

I am using Arena to playout various individual clips over different layers, using OSC which is controlled by an automation script I have written.

Each clip is addressed by layer and column e.g. /composition/layers/3/clips/4/connect but this means that any modification such as adding new layers and columns breaks the functionality as my script then addresses the wrong clips.
As I have named my layers, clips and columns I was hoping that there was a way to reference these in the OSC commands, so that I am addressing an absolute clip rather than a layer/clip index. That way it doesn't matter if I insert columns or layers, my automation would still work.

Is this possible, and if not could it be considered for the future?

Thanks,
Ben

Indeed this is not possible currently. At least not directly. You can poll the clip names fot he layer/column positions, and if you can process those, then you could program an interface you can use to trigger clips by name.

We have a ticket for this.

Many thanks for the reply,

Ben
