Magic Music Visuals

Just a bit of fun, video all done in Magic, music produced by my self..

Is there away to set the "Magic Window" to be the same size as the fixed resolution? as at the moment depending on how big that window is there can be a a big difference in FPS (over 1000FPS in some cases) which will skew the results?

I mean something like this.
and the default will be ignored if there is an input on the outer Scene.

I don't think this can be done if it can I would love to know. I want to be able to have a chain of nodes that will be used as default if the SceneInput is not in use (not connected) and of course if there is an Input in use on the SceneInput to ignore those nodes... My thoughts were, new node calle...

First of all, if you're asking how to use MIDI to control a trigger button parameter (like Goto Next), then it's as simple as it can be: just link the MIDI to that parameter. If the incoming MIDI value is above .5 (meaning above 64), and the previous value was below .5, then the trigger will be act...

My bad, sort of, I was loading an old version of the project however one would of thought they could load old projects into a new version of Magic without these sorts of issues.


Old version I was using.

I have searched the forum as I'm sure this has been asked before. How can I detect a change in a value (up or down) say from CC data. I'm looking for away to convert that change into a trigger (or counter), e.g. to change Goto Next for my next video file. I have one other little funny, as I can dete...

I loaded up a sample project (e.g. Timer or GlobleExamples), then when I bypass any parameter in the Global parameters Magic just closes. I can start a new project and recreate the Globals and they do not crash, I also have very large projects and they don't crash when I bypass parameters?? This is ...

Same way as the Statue of Liberty

I did a quick video for a friend and as usual just used Magic for it, the main thing I took from this project is that I'm starting to get myself more organised with the program

Yeah, another Reason user... Fits in really well with Reason, I have talked about Magic on a number of video's.. Can't wait to see what you do with it :) This video was my cover of an old REM song, largely as a tribute to my mother. :) https://youtu.be/Ko2gIMjrAtY Actually I used Logic Pro instead ...

Very enjoyable ;). I appreciate the amount of work you put into it. My only suggestion is that I'd love to see some eyeballs in those heads next time ;) Thank you... :) I'll have a think about eyeballs, cone shaped, cartoon like LOL.. I did have a problem with some side panels, I used a mask to get...

Nice! I haunt the ReasonTalk forum and had wondered what video sw you used for some of your animations. Now I know, same one I've just started using. :D Yeah, another Reason user...

Staring Predator, Blue II, Go2, Vecto, Quad, SubBoomBass, Blade, Punch, Multi and B.I.T's, all the devices you see in the video are the actual instruments used.

Music made in Reason..

Video done 100% in Magic..

The version I'm currently on is Magic Performer v2.22 64-bit which I believe is the latest version unless you have another version I can test

I have it now so it renders fast most of the time by turning off "Load all scenes into graphics memory". After more testing I think I have tracked it down if I have a scene displayed (talking about the edit screen) that is taking most of the processing power (even if the the scene is not i...

This is a core issue rather than a direct speed issue. So I just sat there and clicked on "Go" and when it only one core was running I stopped it and clicked "Go" again, took about 10 tries then all cores kicked in, straight way another "Stop" and "Go" and bac...

Very weird.. I've also had it today where it has exported fast then the next export (not even leaving the export screen or make any changes) it's slow.

The difference between the fast and slow is the number of CPU cores it uses...

Any other ideas to check on?

Cheers

I have just accepted the render speed of Magic however last night and again today it decided to use all of my cores for rendering an export, so it meant a normal render of about an hour was down to 4 minutes!!! I just exported a movie using x264 quality 7, it used all my cores, I changed to quality ...
