metro problem
May 07 2008 | 6:27 am
Hi, all,
I'm working on a patch that uses two variations on the same video, one controlled by a metro that is activated only when it receives a certain amplitude from an audio track, and the other that is running on a normal metro 40. The audio-variable movie is chromakeyed so that the normal movie shows through it in certain areas.
My problem is this:
Because jit.chromakey is controlled by the chromakeyed video's metro (the audio-variable movie), the normal video is also subject to the starting and stopping. I don't want this. I want the normal video to play normally, and the audio video to play in the sporadic, glitchy fashion that it does.
Apologies for the convoluted wording, I can post the patch if necessary.
Thanks for any and all advise!
