I had a prob with my HD vids only being shown at low res on YT....but after reading some posts about it...apparantly when you first upload they will show as low res...but 30 mins later they will be HD.
This probably isnt what you are talking about but here it is .

Re: Midi Files
I am no expert but I just got something similar to this working the other day....I used a virtual midi device called LoopBe1...which is free...then set whatever you use to play midi to use the LoopBe1 as the midi out device and Magic should see LoopBe1 as a midi input.

Re: A Quick Video to Audio 'Vibe' test :)
Thanks mate...yes video making is not what I am good at...I see what you mean about the clash in in styles and I totally agree.
I tend to get carried away as there are so many good shaders out there.
Again...thanks for your input.

Shader and Image selecting.
I personally would find it useful if the shader and image modules had next/previous arrows for choosing the next file in folder rather than having to keep opening the folder and finding the next file.
Just an idea
