I'm wondering how color space is handled in Magic. I'm assuming everything happens in the SRGB color space or is it module dependent? The reason I'm asking is because I've recently made some modules to convert to linear srgb and back though they don't seem to be working properly. If I write the line...

Here is a module I found a while back that has crossfade. One thing I've noticed is diff blend modules often behave differently (perhaps incorrectly or due to some color space conversions or lack thereof when processing). https://editor.isf.video/shaders?q=PSBlendModeExplorer&category=&sort=...

Solved: Found an example that's working void mainImage( out vec4 fragColor, in vec2 fragCoord ) { //Define points used for partitioning the plane vec2 points[10]; points[0] = vec2(0.028, 0.259); points[1] = vec2(0.459, 0.233); points[2] = vec2(0.386, 0.556); points[3] = vec2(0.847, 0.868); points[4]...

I'm writing something in ISF to output a color based on two lists (color and shade) and I ran into some trouble getting an array to work. Can someone please tell me if it is possible to create an array and read back from it in ISF? Found this on shader toy for example https://www.shadertoy.com/view/...

I also find that the search is a bit of a challenge to navigate to and agree that a keystroke would be a nice solution. . User could simply select a module, then search for the replacement without navigate several layers of the menu. So in the end you'd essentially have something like: - Shift comma...

It seems that making a change in Magic, such as adding or removing an module and then saving erases OS X finder tags. Thought I was crazy tagging files and then having tags disappear after making edits, but seems to be a bug (or a side effect of Magic's saving mechanism). Steps to repro: 1. Tag a ma...

I appreciate the detailed explanation and links Eric. That makes sense now. I'm coming at this from node based audio environments and it's often difficult to grasp why certain things behave differently (or are named similarly, but act differently) or why some things I'm used to having around aren't ...

I believe I can provide a more clear example of a practical need for both an input and output selector. If you're using any sort of time based process) that relies only on a momentary input, (such as Micro Buffer RGB) and use an input selector (many > 1), you will instantly cut the output off when s...

I also think this is a much needed feature. It would be great if there was a media library in Magic that let you view all assets in your project and do things like relink media and even batch swap out modules (myFX 2020 with myFX 2021). However, perhaps a simple solution for an improved missing file...

I understand how the input selector works, but had believed that processing resources were used for all chains connected to it regardless of which was selected and that there would be a processing benefit to having a selector before routing to fx. Did some test the other day and could swear there wa...

Sure. Let's say the user wishes to do the following: Dynamically route video signal to either FX 1, FX2 or FX3. and modulate the index. As I understand it: Current solution with Input Selector: Requires that all fx are active as I'd have to route the video through 3 fx connected to an input selector...

I'd like to have the ability to 'route' signal out to one of several outputs. Basically the opposite of input selector. Seems like an obvious candidate for a module, so I'm guessing there is a technical reason this doesn't exist, but would be quite useful. Example: 1 input 8 outputs Index selects wh...

Yep, logically it's similar and isn't a critical request. But it makes much more sense to me to have organization within a scene itself separate from global scenes. Some ideas to explain a bit further in case it's something you wish to think more about. Currently workflow would be: 1. Select some mo...

After reading and thinking about Scene modules a bit, I don't think it covers the use case I was after, though they're extremely useful. The issue with Scene modules is that they are global as far as I understand. This is an excellent feature for things that should be global. But, what I'm after is ...

Thanks Eric. That's great. It seems I misunderstood that and will give the manual another look. Would be great if those 'project's' were somehow visible in the drop down insert menu. Would be nice to be able to double-click a scene module and go to it and also go back after edits. Perhaps I've misse...

I love working in Magic, though I'm really missing the ability to create some logic using several modules and pack it into a 'macro' module that can be easily moved around, copy pasted and saved for later use. It would help to keep the structure from becoming messy and also to reuse them in differen...

Can any one point me in the right direction as to how to create luminosity masks in Magic? I'd essentially like to get shadows, midtones and highlighs split for independent processing. I've been experimenting a bit with luma keys, masks and inverts as a starting point for highlights and shadows, tho...

Makes sense. Thanks

Thanks Eric. Good to know it's doable, but sounds like it will require more than simply reformatting the controls. Will put it on the back burner for now and return to it when I have some more time. Cheers
