Just started and have a few questions

Hi

I've had MMV for a few years, but haven't used it anywhere near as much as I should. Now, I'm using it in earnest, and making shortform content for instagram mainly, and youtube. I understand the basics, but there are some things I'd like to know, to grow, but I can't find any help on these things on youtube.

1. How can I use text in a video ?

2. When I use "blend", is there any way to adjust the 50/50 balance between two video streams so that one is 20% visible and the other is 80% ?

3. How are masks used ? I've worked with a video tool in FL studio called Zgame Visualizer, and it's possible to apply a texture to a sphere, cube etc.....and have the texture move on the object. Is this what masks do in MMV, and if so, how could I do this ?

4. I can work the ISF shaders, but I have no idea how to add more as I can't figure out how to actually download them. Same with the GLSL module. I know that given time, I'll exhaust the shaders that are installed in MMV already, so I'd love to know where to get more, how to download, install, and use them ??

I'm sure I have other questions but this is more than enough for now.

If someone could help me figure these things out, I'd really appreciate it.
There are tutorials on youtube, but they tend not to veer too far from the basic concepts, so this is a last resort, and I hope it's still active here.
Thanks in advance =)

Hi

1. Text module or TextFile module (Used with iterator)
2. Mix with original after the Blend - there is a feature request for wet/dry effects
3. Mask takes the value of one image to modulate the transparency of another - it doesn't texture map on 3d objects.
4. Create and download shaders with the ISF Shader Editor

Thanks for your reply.

What is iterator ? I've never heard of this

"Mix with original after the Blend " -- I don't understand what you mean.

I don't want to edit shaders. I'd just like to download a pack of already-made shaders that are ready to use,
but all I can find are pictures that show a lot of code when I click on them, and I have no idea what to do with that

The manual says, "The Iterator module draws its input the specified number of iterations" and "The internal Iterator# reports the current iteration number as controlled by the Iterator module". The manual doesn't tell you how to use the iterator but I've done several tutorials demonstrating its use (as have others).
