Column Selection

[timlavalley]

Hey all

Apologies in advance for this newbie question. I have thirty clips - each with SMPTE value assigned, and Transport set to SMPTE - arranged in pairs in fifteen columns. The clips are playing back when they should, but only if I have that specific column selected. If I forget to select Column [X], then no playback.

I'm very confident that each SMPTE value is correct, so I really don't need the extra supervisory step of selecting each column in turn. Is there a way to select multiple columns; or auto advance column selection when each clip finishes playing; etc? I thought Auto Pilot or Ignore Column Trigger might help, but apparently not..?

Thanks in advance!
Tim

Triggering clips via SMPTE or using the autopilot on SMPTE controlled clips are specifically disabled in Resolume.

SMPTE in Resolume was developed to let a VJ run premade content in sync with a DJ track, while that DJ is still able to change and select tracks in the spur of the moment. The VJ communicates with the DJ , hears which track is coming in and cues it. The advantage is that the DJ can send out timecode with the same starting point for all tracks, without the need to add specifically timed SMPTE channels to each and every track.

More and more people are now expecting to build and run complete pre made shows based on SMPTE, which is not what the current implementation is designed for.

We're looking into making this sort of use possible in the future. In fact, we've heard of quite a few ingenious workarounds from a few VJ teams already. But for the time being, there is no out of the box way to do this in Resolume.

Hope that explains things a bit.

Many thanks Joris - that explains perfectly. I guess I'll just remember to select each column in turn - at least that will keep me from falling asleep.

Thanks!
