That is pretty much it! I recommend cracking into it and adding your own touches. Next is zoom x and y, which would be handy for sizing your output to fit, say a screen - as well as changing the aspect ratio if needed.Īlso included are offset - for sliding the image left right up down, boundmode - which sets how blank space is to be dealt with when zoomed down small, and anchor which sets where the image rotates from.

First off is "theta", which rotates the signal a full 360 degrees. Below this is a Rota section, which serves some important functions. The "rst" button resets to default values. One could always copy / paste the idea onto each channel upstream of the mixer, downstream of the player. I usually like to have one of these for each channel, but for simplicity I just put it on the main out. First is a Brightness / Contrast / Saturation function. Both of these can be assigned to midi controls from Lives midi mapping mode.Īfter essentially a duplicate channel, there are a couple of global FX. The Fade to black is incredibly helpful between songs or between layouts. Next over we have the A B mixer and a Fade to black. I recommend using a Video DA and a separate monitor for doing shows if you need to see your mix. Because we are now on the GPU, we do not have a way to preview the final output other than the final output itself.

I have purposely limited the preview framerate to free up CPU processing for other jobs, such as making music. This preview window is the last stop for the CPU.
#MPEG STREAMCLIP ENCODING LOOP PATCH#
This patch is set up to do mixing and effects on the GPU, not the CPU. On to the right you will see a preview monitor for the first video channel. Speed, volume, and loop type are all assignable to Lives midi mapping.

Loop determines if or how the movie should loop. Volume controls sound coming out of the movie file. Speed allows you to fine tune playback speed.
Read allows you to load a movie from anywhere on your LAN, regardless of whether or not you have pointed Max to the folder it resides in. As I said earlier, you will need to point Max to your root movie folder in order for it to find the movies.īelow this are some basic movie controls. Choose one of your movie folders for each menu. The button is how you populate the menus with your movies. I figured 5 was plenty for this instrument, feel free to add more if you need them. These are where you load your movie folders and then select individual movies with the pop up menu. Next to the right there is a bank of menus with buttons next to them. This patch should run between 20 and 50 fps if you encode your movies properly, and have a decent computer. This way you can monitor the performance of your computer. Make sure to uncheck Float before you Fullscreen if you aren't using a second monitor, or else it will be impossible to uncheck the FS box.īelow the Float box there is a FPS meter. For practicing, I recommend using Float so you can see what you are doing regardless of where else you navigate to in Lives environment. Do this by dragging the window, named "Optimized", to your 2nd monitor and then hit the toggle.įloat controls whether you want to see the output window on top of Live or not. I recommend only using fullscreen when you are outputting to a separate monitor. To stop a movie from playing, you need to hit the appropriate red "stop" button as well.īelow this we have two more toggles, one controlling fullscreen (FS), and one controlling floating window (float). Uncheck it and MFL will stop drawing, but any movie you have playing will still be running unseen. This controls the metronome in charge of drawing the frames. The first thing you will see is a big toggle box that is checked. Lets look at the instrument, Looking left to right, top to bottom: This will make it possible to load your movies into the various blank menus you see on the instrument. It is a basic A B mix and fade to black with some other basic controls.įirst, you will need to launch Max, go to Options > File Preferences and point one of the empty slots to the main folder that has your movie folders in it.
This is a very simple but effective two channel video mixer to use in MFL. I wanted to start simple and work towards a more robust device later.
This is my first version of a simple video mixer for MFL. Device Details Device Overview Name/Version:
