Magic Music Visuals

Yeah, it's not a big deal, everything is prepared for the New Year with PNGs.

But during live sessions, being able to render emojis properly would be a plus

Trying to paste emoji into Text node, or loading them via TextFile, just renders some other characters.

Hi!

From time to time I want to copy-paste not just modifiers of parameter link, but source feature and all that.

Any chance to add this?

I had some success (basically, proof-of-concept) with using native iOS AR apps, streaming that to macos and using syphoner (probably, cheaper solutions exist too) to grab video into Magic. Interesting thing that I was doing that over the network, so e.g. with dedicated wifi hotspot (or even ethernet...

Well, this one seems a bit of an overkill =)
It's your choice to implement this kind of cache or not, but if you're counting users eager for it, here's one

Hi! At some point creating a scene I've added a chain of blur shaders to a static text (see the attached screenshot).. and it reduced FPS greatly. I've checked out the code of both Soft Blur and Fast Blur and they both don't depend on TIME and both don't use persistent passes. That said, they depend...

Hmm, I've tried to make a clean example and everything worked on my machine too.
And while I still _feel_ that yes, of course I've been saving that file,

Maybe I've had so much of bug reports like this at work, so I've started to follow the example

Hi, a little bug report here
If you change min/max value of parameters in ISF shader, ISF→reload shadername.fs doesn't change it, so you can't apply lesser/greater value without restarting Magic.

It's not a big deal, but fix is probably trivial too =)

Thanks anyway!

If I save the project with VideoCaptureQT module and Device set to external webcam, I'll get "Project loading failed" on trying to load it. I would expect same behavior as with mediafiles or audio devices: popup with detailed info on what failed to load is shown and modules reset to defaul...

I think, it would be pretty cool to let user to save and reuse arbitrary expression functions. For example , I use sqrt(x*500)*5000 % 1 as random from seed. I could save it to random(x) and use it in all my scenes. While exprtk allows user defined functions: https://github.com/ArashPartow/exprtk/blo...

I assume, scenes with multiple output is even harder thing to implement? =)

But this is a feature request forum

so I'm trying to explain why this particular feature would be very useful to me

Also, as I mentioned above, if you don't want to keep changing the scenes, you can have a dedicated Preview scene that looks like this:

But how do I edit those scenes, on the left? Oh yes, by changing the scenes

I'd like to have one workspace to work on all scenes at once

Well, in that case, I must always switch between these scenes, and not just clicking on them, but using "Edit this scene only". It's kinda how I do it right now. But, if I had "Preview" module that I could attach to any output, I could've done everything in once scene, without le...

I tried several methods like this and none worked, because a scene can only have one output. If I have something in separate scene that I want to preview, I've got to send outputs there. So I would need a main scene with five outputs (that's not possible, right?) and two extra scenes: one with previ...

Hi I think it would be nice to have a separate "preview" module, which would work as output, like "magic" module. My usecase: I don't use playlist and control everything through one scene. Looks kinda like this: https://yadi.sk/i/Ss3va7Ep3T29nN. So I've got five channels which ar...

Maybe scale wasn't a good example and modifiers like "smooth" or "delay" would be better ones. But yeah, a good point: I could actually implement most of modifiers in expression language. I can't save any state, to implement smooth/delay/hold/etc., and, putting big one-liners in ...

Here's a scene with a problem: https://yadi.sk/d/OYiRCjV23SAC8v Screenshot of a scene: https://yadi.sk/i/mh11RTXE3SAC4V Now, if I change input in inputselector, trail that was already produced, will reset. Here's a video with a problem: https://yadi.sk/i/9wX1aps43SABtu I also encounter this when I s...

Here' a technique i've adopted after last magic release (which allowed to use globals in expressions). Might be useful for you, fellas. I've added a "time" global, which just has "increase: 1" in it. That way, each expression now could know about the time passed since scene start...

Hey! So, what about "Locals" and scene parameters? This feature would be super cool!

I've seen that you fulfilled my request about allowing globals to expression and i'm VERY grateful. While I was enjoying this feature and struggling with programming some modifier, i thought: why can't we allow expressions in parameters? if you print "50 * 2", you'll get a scale(100). If y...

I think, it would be really helpful to set modifier values not only from midi, but from any source (including globals)
