Projecting multiple animations by using Jitter and only one projector
Hi all,
I’m pretty new to MAX and wondering whether the following is possible:
I have created a basic patch, that plays a video and uses Syphon to send it to Madmapper.
So now I only have it to send multiple video’s, and these are pretty simple video animations made in After Effects. (.mov files)
also:
in the subpatcher, loop should STAY 0, but after shutdown resets to 1 now...
So what I am looking for is a freelance MAX expert who can me out.
Or – if you are in a really good mood today – just give me an excellent hint ;-)
Thnx!
not really sure what your question is.
if you want to disable looping in a jit.movie, simply type @loop 0 in the object box.
Do you mean place different videos next to each other in one big window so you can separate them with madmapper ?
Thnx, I just found a way to fix it like 5 minutes ago, before reading this. Will try your approach anyway.
About my other question:
No Andro... it is more like this:
- currently I have 1 trigger (a sensor)
- when the sensor is activated, a movie plays.
- MAX sends this to Madmapper, using Syphon for that.
- movie is projected full screen, stops after lets say 5–10 sec.
now this I need to implement:
- I have 5 sensors
- each sensor should activate a unique movie
- when 2 or more sensors are activated, related movies should be able to play at the same time (so not one after the other).
- each movie now is a full screen projection, and it would be great If I could show like 2 or 3 or all at once, with one projector.
(like in layers or so)
- however, it is only a part of the screen that actually shows projection/movement (simpel animation)
so it is optional to create smaller movie dimensions instead of full screen (cropped parts) and project these next to each other.
So resuming I need to activate multiple sensors, that active multiple movies projected by 1 projector only.
Hope this is a more clear story...
I see my patch was not uploaded... hope it does now.
best , Miguel
Try sending each movie to a jit.gl.videoplane object and then playing around with the postion xyz and scale xyz parameters.
You could use a preset system with pattr to save different configurations.
Patcher ...
Thnx again, Andro. Will give it a try!
Oh, and this of course is the complete patch (except for the sensor part)
Hi Miguel,
Pretty busy right now so I don't really have the time to go through everything, couldn't you just maybe make a sketch or picture (something visual) showing what your trying to do ?
I'm sure I'll be able to give some pointers then.
OK Andro, but I got help last night from Fransisco Xavier Casillas Navarro (also in this forum).
Thanks anyway for concerning and I wish you all the best then ;-)
Glad you got it working !
