The Lighting Controller

I get that the software is "basically a lighting controller", but the programs incredible versatility is one of it's most outstanding features. Wouldn't it be possible to implement a relatively simple work around within the media property box where the operator would enter the duration of the clip ...

pogjack - Late last night I found your earlier posting for the same thing.

While I understand the explanation, I don't understand why a simple variable couldn't be added to the media properties window allowing the user to assign a time for the media since the player cant tell. This would seem to be ...

I am trying to run video files in an continuous loop upon trigger. If I put the media files into a timeline all works great, except you can only have a single time line going and my media timeline has a different timing then my lighting timeline. So it dawned on my that I could set up a trigger page ...

Excellent suggestion and for some reason on the mac (which is not the computer I am using for the live controller) .mov works fine, but on the PC (which is where I am using the controller) I have the speed issue. I ended up switching file formats to .mpg2 and that seemed to do the trick.

Thanks for ...

OK, I don't know how fast the playback is, but it is significantly above normal speed.

I have a .mov file that plays just fine in a quicktime player, but when I run it off of the timeline it plays super fast. Whats up with that?

Thanks.

Thanks for the response.

My first question is if this is an input trigger or an output trigger? Just to be clear what I mean by that, I want an output trigger which would allow me to specify a trigger point in a scene and have a specific port close or open to trigger an external devise.

If this can be used as an output ...

This is very cool!

Just to be clear, if I produce a video clip that is 4092 x 768, the player will play that clip?

If that is the case then I am golden!

For anyone else considering this, the manufacturer of the video wall controller indicates that this video card will work :

Thanks for the quick reply!

So plan B requires that I ask a follow up question. I found a cost effective video wall controller that will allow me to take non-standard sized video (which can easily be created with Adobe Premiere) and split it into multiple screens (up to 4 with a single devise ...

I don't know if this could be done, but it would be something I would take advantage of immediately:

I would love to be able to have multiple video files running at the same time. I would then output each to a different monitor and coordinate my lighting based on the video content. This would be a ...
