Resolume Forum

Been using LTC recently to trigger some clips, but was thinking it would be really useful if you could trigger a column from a specific time code. Would alow custom built media to be fired automaticly. I have made this work in past shows using QLab to get triggers from LTC and then firing columns via OSC, but would be nice that this is intergrated directly.

Feature Suggestion: Batch Timecode / Timeline Switching and Offset Settings for Selected Clips

Based on user-selected clips, add the following batch timecode-related features:

1. Batch Timecode / Timeline Switching
• Users can select multiple clips just like when moving or deleting clips.
• Then, via the right-click context menu, choose:
• “Convert Timecode → Timeline”
• “Convert Timeline → Timecode”
• The selected clips will switch their playback mode simultaneously, while unselected clips remain unchanged.
• This allows flexible control, enabling some clips within a column to use Timecode while others remain in Timeline mode.

2. Batch Timecode Offset Settings
• After selecting multiple clips, users can set a unified Timecode Offset via the right-click menu.
• Alternatively, a common offset value (positive or negative) can be entered in the properties panel to apply to all selected clips.
• This makes it easy to correct time differences between clips that need precise synchronization.

Operation Logic
• The feature follows the same clip selection logic currently used in Resolume.
• Only clips explicitly selected by the user are affected by the batch operation.
• Clips within a column that do not require timecode can simply remain unselected and keep their original playback mode.

Benefits
• Greatly improves the efficiency of timecode synchronization and adjustment.
• Eliminates the need to manually toggle timecode on each clip.
• Provides more flexible partial control over selected clips.
• Especially useful for columns containing multiple layers or screens, such as complex stage or lifting screen setups.
