Thanks guys. When I get a moment will definitely setup a camera to demo this. It could be quite useful to others as it's taking a while to figure out and a good info is scattered... Right now, I'm just trying to complete some audio-visual music video mixes, ala VJ TACKT style for a TV show.
@gradek:
So the stuttering is a more a back and forth which comes from Ms Pinky ... there's a slight lag in Pinky (OSC takes a moment to stop) as well as a noise problem with my hardware setup.
There is also a slight lag with the video. So I need to work out delay compensation with audio and video from both apps. The file is HD 1920x1080 because that's the best format I can work with (and the TV Show is being shot & edited in HD). However the composition size is closer to PAL 720x576 cause at full 1080p my MBP clunks.
Now you got me thinking about working at 720p which would be a good compromise
... just don't want to have to re-render the folder of music videos (again).
I did try the DVX a while back but am using Apple Intermediate because the file size / speed / quality ratio is good for a folder of 30 music videos and it seems use-able inbetween apps (Resolume / Ableton / ms Pinky) w/o too much image quality loss. The video file size for a 3-4 minute video is about 1.4GB.
High image quality is quite important for what I'm trying to achieve here. Also re: HDD speeds, I'm testing with a FW800 5400rpm GDrive until the 7200rpm one gets back.
@edwin:
thanks, i still have some hair left
there i was wondering why OSCTestApp wasn't working when actually I should have checked the new version earlier.
So still streamlining the process. And what a process it's been.
Next step is to see how to record audio from MsPinky and video from Resolume in sync. Also this could probably also work with 2 layers and 2 turntables.
Okay back to the lab for now.
