Record/Edit/Playback OSC
Posted: Mon Jul 08, 2024 12:34
We are a small theatre and have been using Arena + Palffy Zoltan's (fab) Linear OSC Controller to run multi-projector videos in stage shows for a number of years.
In the past I have used the Arena Envelope feature to allow clips to move/scale after triggering - but the current show requires much more complex movement of videos.
I figure there must be someway of:
1. Record via OSC the position/size/opacity etc. of a clip
2. Allow me to edit it/save it somewhere
3. Trigger the replay of the recorded OSC when the column is triggered - so that the movement plays (in much the same way as the envelope parameters trigger and play when the column fires.
I found TWO (promising) and OSCsee (not looking as useful) - but wondered if there is anyone else with a tool/setup that could suggest anything.
Otherwise - it's back to me animating the path in AfterEffects; which is doable - but not very adjustable during the tech get-in and programming...
Hope someone's got some ideas!
