Problems found so far

Post by v.j.YOSH »

Problems Found So Far:
1) Hue Rotate effect changes the color of a footage even when on default value. or R2, when on default value\0 the image stayed original. only when tweaking with the value slider, then the footage starting replacing\rotating hue. for example, pink\magenta becomes red even when the Hue Rotate parameter is 0.

2) Keystone Crop opacity parameter does work well. works as ON\OFF.

3) +\- controls all over the software are not mappable. can't assign midi to + or - but instead to the text box that contains the numbered value that makes unwanted resolute.

4) just like that, with no apparent reason, arena take FOREVER to load and even become not responsive. i have to delete the preference folder from the resolume 4 folder under my docs and start everything from the begining. :?

5) i am putting hue rotate as layer effect, mapping the hue rotate parameter to midi and limiting the range to 0-0.85. while on the same session, all good. but if saving the comp, closing and restarting arena (and i guess also avenue), the mapped hue rotated range defaults to 0-1.00 and becomes irresponsive to the midi.
i try to change the value but some behavior in the software push back the slider to 1.00

6) addition of a floating layer, one that doesn't changes with every deck change would be blessed. on the other hand, a lock button for a layer can also help.

7) auto pilot - the ability to set a duration for every clip not only still pictures.

Hey Yosh

Thanks for your feedback. I've made tickets for most of your points.

4. Although this can be frustrating, there must be something that causes this. We'll test for it, but if you could point us in the right direction, that would help a lot. This is precisely what the beta phase is meant for.

6. There is an ignore column trigger feature already. Is this something along the lines of what you're thinking of?

7. This is what the in and out points are for.

6. Ignore column trigger doesn't keep guard of footage in a layer of accidently been replaced.

7. in R2, the chaos mode allowed to to repeat a video loop several times before moving to the next one. you had the option to set time interval for change between clips. in R4, the auto pilot move to the next loop ans soon as it reach ones end.

8. (<---i just added that one) in the file\comp\effect browser, pressing a letter in the keyboard in order to fast jump to, well, file\comp\effect works partly. it jumps to the first something with that letter and this is where it stops responding to another press of that or other letter.

9. (<---yes, this one is also new :lol: ) PLEASE ADD A SEARCH BOX in the file\comp\effect for what ever's on the specific list i am looking at that moment. it happened so much that i am trying to improvise in a middle of a show, and going to a directory that contains the clip\footage and i remember a part of the file name but f**k it! :oops: i need to pass the whole list and search for it and that my friend is real hard on a FULL HD laptop screen :lol:

I know this is not gonna happen soon but as I read through this post by Yosh I had to share my thoughts:"just get rid of that whole library panel and put it into a floating menu that can be accessed via a shortcut (MIDI or key or OSC or abracadabra) and opens where ever the cursor is at that moment. Pretty much like Quicksilver/spotlight for OS X or the goodlike MAYA marking menus :shock: :o :D And then just type whatever is on your mind and maybe then filter it by type (file, comp, fx, source) like in "everything"-search tool. The guy even offers an SDK. 2,600,000 files indexed in under 10 minutes and found in ms. But I am not a coder and should stop dreaming for today :lol: :D :lol:

Okay, in regards to this one:
2) Keystone Crop opacity parameter does work well. works as ON\OFF.
It's normal, the background is transparent by default, so as soon as the opacity goes under 1.0 we are simply drawing the same image twice. If you want a fade there is a black BG option, and then it works as you would expect.
