Magic Music Visuals

That would definitely be a welcome add Eric! At the moment it is not working at all with my BMD card... Thanks!

Any one got a solution on this one?!

Would love to get my hands on a way to set the correct frame rate...

Well done Sadler! Love the look of it and the way it reacts to the different frequencies... Inspiring : )

Just got the equipment up and running, after a shorter break from our rehearsals... The problem seem to be that I can't select the right frame rate. The capture card does show up in Magic. But the frame is just black. In both Black syphon, Isadora and Resolume I have the option to select different f...

Thanks for that info Eric! Yes Im a Mac user...

I'll check it out as soon as I have the setup in front of me again (just got out of a quite hectic production, where I ended up using Black Syphon as a work around). And I'll get back on this matter with more tests. Have a great weekend

I have a few different BMD capture cards, the Ultriastudio 4K, Ultrastudio 3D and some Ultrastudio Mini recorders. Unfortunately the only one that is working at the moment seem to be the Mini recorders... The other two, they just don't show up as a source. Anyone else having this issue? Could this b...

Hi all! I just bought the ISF for Motion app from Vidvox. They have managed to turn ISF's into transitions in Final cut pro X and Motion. With that in mind I'd love to have a similar functionality, to be able to change the current - None, Crossfade and Additive Dissolve to different ISF's as a trans...

Sure thing Eric. I completely understand your point. I use Resolume for mapping, working with Pixel tape, running all sorts of live cameras. But apart from Resolume I use an array of programs that are collaborating to create the effects or interactions im after... But I truly love the way your progr...

Ok. I see. Well I'm really looking forward to the moment we have the possibility to OSC map everything : ) As I've said before, it will open up possibilities for us creators that can't be figured out in forehand... I actually got it much cleaner by simply having two videos and sending OSC positions ...

Exactly. We will replace the video file during the show. The case is that we have one longer video with a lot of different parts In it. So that the starting point of the video is different but the file is the same. And we create a new video with the audience in every show. That's why we need to relo...

Hi there Magic wizards forum... I have a new show in the creation. And Im using magic to fire one video file, but at different positions and with different masks. Skärmavbild 2019-09-24 kl. 17.32.54.png I want to be able to replace the file with a new one and be able to play them at with all the dif...

Yes Terry. I checked the forum as well and found the threads you mentioned. But Spout is Win only right? Im on a Mac, so Im still in need of the good hands of Eric and crew... The future will tell : )

Im on the NDI train anyway

I bought the Magewell Pro Converter HDMI TX and the Pro Converter HDMI 4K Plus. I bought the HDMI versions to have other camera options in the future... But Magewell converters work like a charm : ) They even double up as a network device over usb.

Hey Terry! At the moment we are using two Blackmagic Design cameras. One 4k and one HD stream. And compared to SDI its less lagg with NDI solution, than going to a SDI switch (making it possible to have multiple programs using the same camera feed) and from the switch, splitting and routing the feed...

I've sold all my thunderbolt capture cards to switch my camera inputs from SDI to NDI... with some huge benefits! 1) It is much faster than a physical live input card. (No more big latency from interactive computers and potentially cameras.) 2) It is resolution and frame rate agnostic! Meaning you c...

Im trying to do the same thing with a OBJ. I have a texture file with both a normal map and a specular image as JPG in the same folder as the OBJ. But I can't get it to stick on the object.... I guess I need to create a .mtl file from the jpg? How do I create such a file? Im used to work in Element3...

Super inpressive Artnik! I can't even figure out whats made in Magic and what parts are pre rendered. Or is it all live rendered and made in Magic? First of all congrats : ) The things I'm missing would be to add some parallax in the parts where you hava a "still image". And a tiny bit of ...

Thanks fot the link Sadler : ) I tried it out. But got the same results as you. The mask is quite not right the whole time. But its nice to see that softwares like this is making its move in creating a green screen less key feature! I really look forward to see what the new Depth API for developers ...

Wow! Thanks for this!
I think this is getting close to the tool Im after... Thanks for the RemoveBackground.fs Eric! And thanks Terry for the nice setup you got running!
Will check it all out with proper cameras instead of my webcam I'm using at the moment.

What a great start of the week : )

Hello there again... I wonder if any one could describe a bit more how to achieve the ISF shader that Eric was describing. I got some friends that knows how to code in general. But maybe not ISF. So I need to point out where to begin. Is there a basic shader to start with, that stores a buffer from ...

I would love to get hold of this feature to! Could you send it to me as well?

All the best.

+1 For this : ) I actually would use this when I have another program front most. So if it makes a quick stutter or so does not matter for me... (i run quite a lot of automated ques and need this feature to enhance the scripting even more) It would make my workflow quit much easier with this feature.

Hey there Blackdot!

Thanks for the comment

I have used the BBC 70's Globerizer as shown on this picture:

Had some fun playing around with 2.0 and some Dance Hall vibes : )

Based on a project I did with my group Sirqus Alfon with some new elements and testing some new ways to synchronies movements...

Im in!

Just hope to find enough time to play around : )

Heppa! Just wanted to make shout out to all of you that have made this new version possible! Thanks for you effort and creativity... It will be a huge part of my work with stage performances years to come : )

Big up!

All the best from Sweden. /D1gits

NICE!

Love this setup. Exactly what I'm after (I think) : )

Thanks a lot MR... i will try it out this whole week in Barcelona!

I want to be able to do this since when Im in a live situation and want to change a text for example, in a different scene, the whole Syphon output switches to the the new scene that I just want to edit "in the background". Thanks for the input Sadler. But the whole point is to do it in t...

Thanks Visuality : )

If I only knew a bit more of how to program I'd start right away! Hope to se something in this direction in the future : )

Here is a part of our intro to one of my groups Sirqus Alfon. Just one of many ways of using MMV... I made the recording without any audience, so the interactive part was cut away, but you get the picture. One idea I have to even enhance the interaction with the audience would be to have a "IF ...

Hi guyes! I'll start this Idea like a question, rather than dropping it as a new feature request since I don't know if there is a way to achieve what I want. Here I go: I like the way the Input selector easily switches between different pre made setups. But I want to be able to make more complex set...

Wow yes a Lytro camera would be perfect for the job :) But I have not heard of a live capture card for them thou... In my vision I would just take a picture of the stage in its lightning and all just before entering it. That would be the perfect match for the difference key (or difference matte), ri...

Hey guys. I wonder if there is a "simple way" of having a live video feed and extract the moving objects without green screen. Like taking a picture of the background, without persons in it and use that image as a difference key mask (or what the name is of that effect). I'd love to be abl...

Great Idea! I'll try that as soon as Im done with this gig month... As it is now, my rack is quite hard to reach in inside. And all the hardware is connected to the computer thru one thunderbolt cable and a hub. But it's the right way to test it I think!

Nice pdf Eric. Thats almost my setup : ) Well It works better now. It seem to bo important, when I start what program. For me It works better if I start whit Magic early on. And its a huge difference if I have all my sound cards, capture cards, midi cards, thunderbolt hubs connected or not. When the...

Sure thing Eric! To begin, Im on a 2013 MacPro 3.7 GHz Xeon E5, 64gig ram with two FirePro D700 (12gig Video Ram). Still when I start Magic the "waiting wheel" spinns for quite a while (almost every time). And when running "force quit" it says that the program is not answering......

That might be true. The fact that restarting Magic a few times made the whole difference in making magic receive MIDI, made me think that the problem was on Magic's side. Have you heard of anyone else with these problems Eric? Just want to be able to run the show without crashes and glitches... Any ...

Hi all. Im here at Edinburgh fringe festival running my new show. The show it self is kind of complex with a lot of OSC and midi ques from and to programs. I have discovered that Magic sometimes does not receive Midi as it should. But if I restart Magic a few times it all start to run as expected. T...

Nice work Artnik. Looking forward to play with it : )

Could a 360 camera be the "image source". Or is it a still image that is required?

All the best.

Oh, Fractal Grinder, I would love to know how you work with it inside of Resolume...
An I agree on the fact that it is very nice to work inside of Magic, instead of working on two platforms.

All the best.

Hi there! Hope you all are having a fantastic summer. Just came home after a few weeks in the sun : ) I have seen a lot of request coming up about almost the same things (me included). Im have spotted how VUO is working with its community. And it somehow makes sense. Altho its credit system is a bit...

Ok Blackdot. Sounds logical to me, that it is a "leftover" from the programming thinking. Also the midi channels start with 0 but ends up at 16 = 17 Channels (from 1 to 16 would be so much more logical). Hope there will be a change to this in 2.0 : )

I would love to have a new order of inputs. A start from 1 instead of 0 would help out a lot, for me at least... +1 or -1 is a easy math problem, but I find my self quite often forgetting that this little calculation needs to be done. Actually I have not heard of a sound card or so starting with cha...

I hear what you guys say, and of course It would never compete against After effects in any way. But still, there are so many benefits when building a realtime performance where you would have the possibility to have a timeline. Lets say that I want to create a live animated object that moves around...

Hi all! I have yet another feature that would add to my user experience and make my workflow even better. Right now I'm using Vezér to create precise movements of objects inside of MMV. It works well but its a bit of a hassle to listen to midi set up scenes and so on. For me a "timeline express...

Thanks Eric! That made this project much easier...

But having a Tree system of all the scenes would make it even more tidy ; )

Have a superb weekend!

ps. I still want to be able to map all there is in the entire program

Thanks everyone! I'll try all your good suggestions... Think it will end up somewhere similar to what i wanted : )

Would be a good solution. Just that I work with live taken pictures. So no time for rendering a video....

Looks like a great system to me Blackdot : )

Sorry to just spam you with requests, but I guess thats what happens when you are in the middle of a projects... Anyway. I wish there was a way to stack scenes so that a specific part of a project ends up under a "tree" of scenes, related to that part. Or folders to make its even more clea...

Hi again. Is there way of adding isf effects as a transition effect? So that when I switch from one scene to another the isf effect would create a crossover effect with for example a "BAD TV" effect? Otherwise, are there any expressions that would help me achieve the same thing, like: scen...

Hi there. Im creating a quite complex scene setup where I need to switch sources (audio) that are triggering the specific values of different objects. I can active this now by duplicating the scenes and switching the source. But for me (always wanting to have maximum control over my projects) it wou...

Sounds great Eric! Looking forward to whats coming...

Right! I did not know that, thanks Blackdot. But still, I think its so much easier to understand them when I can see the change it does, instead of trying to understand the "cryptic" text (I'm not so familiar with all the terms).

Great! I think i would be able to do even more with magic if I understood all the expressions. So please add it to the next version : ) And also write some comments on each expressions pros and cons... so that I know when to and when not to use them. All the best to you, and by the way, any news on ...

Perfect!!!

Worked like a charm...

I would love to get examples on all the expressions and how they work together.

: Would love to get to know these guys a bit better : ); Screencap 2016-04-28 kl. 20.06.50.jpg (24.52 KiB) Viewed 5177 times

A tutorial or a sample project with comments would be perfect!

All the best.

Hi there! Just need to find a way to move from one computer to another. I just finished a composition on my "work" computer and wanted to move the comp to my "show" computer. But all the files are on a different position. It would really help to have a - Relocate - (and Fix all a...

Looking forward to it! It will do my prototyping much more joyful : )

Have a great weekend!

Hi there everyone! I would love to be able to do quick previews of Shaders or FX either by a Up and Down arrow: Preview1.jpg ISF.jpg Or combined with a hover over FX or Generator with mouse to preview: Preview2.png This would add a lot of speed and make the process more playful when creating composi...

Yes that was my first try out. It works, but to make it as easy to use for our technician (witch may switch from gigg to gigg) the option with a pop up promt Is the solution I want to get to work...

And hopefully in the future, everything will be controllable ; )

Thanks for that Eric! Im doing a show where we quickly ask the name of a member in the audience. I have a promt popping up where I can quickly edit a text file, and write the name of the persons name. Now I want MAGIC to update this via QLab. And the Name is Visualized with MAGIC. But your idea migh...

A feature I see is missing is to Map "everything" to MIDI och Key strokes (or OSC). Would be super nice to have a way of mapping the specific features you want to control. Like in Resolume: Skärmavbild 2016-03-17 kl. 10.54.44.png At the moment my goal is to map the "Update arrow"...

Thanks a LOT dj0le! In the end the first picture with the "Add" highlighted made the whole difference. I have set my Arena Video settings to "disable global effects a% blend modes". Just to have my machine run a bit faster. But when this checkbox is filled you can't use Alfa chan...

Hi there! Have played around for some weeks now with Magic and Resolume Arena. It works great. Now I just want to be able to take the reactive elements I created, and play in between layers in Resolume. I tried to use a Green polygon as bottom layer, to chroma key the "background" but it d...

Thanks for the creative thinking!

That would do it for now, i guess. But I would still love the features of having a light source to play with to further enhance a 3D feeling of the compositions...
And thanks for pointing out the ISF blur sources : )

I would love to be able to let a image make a drop shadow to layers under it. Think it would ad a lot to the look of the compositions. Also, in the long run, i would love to even have a "light" to be able to direkt the shadow in X/Y/Z with the possibility to let the music to impact this, a...

Thanks Eric! I will check out the MIDI pitch bend solution for now. But I'd love to get the OSC feature up and running... Have you got any idea how far away this is on you roadmap? All the best for now, and thanks for a intuitive program, its really easy to get started with I must say as a noob : )

Any news on implementing OSC? It would really make a great add-on for my workflow. Its so great to be able to have a master show computer trigging the video via a cat5 cable and OSC. It has never failed me, meanwhile MIDI has for a few times. In the end you could make the whole program mappable, so ...

Thanks Black dot and Reinhard!

Got it working now...

Ok sorry for the confusion. Im making a "analog VU meter" and have a simple black line that indicates the value of the sound. Now I use the Translate module to set the rotation to start from the lowest part of the line, but I also need the line to be positioned at a lower Y value. How can ...

Hi there Im totally new on this program. But I like it already : ) Works great for me to use the Translate tool to set a different rotation point. But I need the image to appear at a specific spot on my composition. How do I move the image on the X and Y axis without the Translate tool? All the Best...
