Individual clip start offset/anchor point

[Fableist]

Not sure if this is possible, but I want to have a clip start halfway through and then loop back to the beginning in BPM mode. Essentially, it would mean having a movable anchor point that serves as the 1 down beat, allowing you to change the feel of the loop whilst retaining the overall timing... Is that do-able?

I guess maybe it's a feature request....

I vaguely remember fiddling with Visution's IR ClipSA a while back that might have worked, but that was 32-bit with R5. It would be great to get some of that functionality built in, or to have an envelope to control the timeline.

Any suggestions welcome.
Thanks

I guess what you could do if you launch your clips with a midi controller for example, would be to set a Cue point where you want the clip to start, and map the same midi note to the cue point as the clip trigger, with This clip target, and set the clip to continue from last position.
This also works with beat snap, but only if the clip is not being previewed.

Ah yes! Good idea. Just tried it and it works well to get a loop with a different start point.

In an ideal world, I'd like to be able to skip around the clip by hitting different MIDI notes, as this would save on RAM by only needing to load one version of the clip, instead of several with different start points.

However, I'm guessing the above technique requires the clip trigger message to go alongside the cue position message... I'm sending MIDI in via Ableton though, so I might see if there's a way to trigger a send of two MIDI notes at once.

It definitely solves one problem though. Thanks

Should be no problem with a midi clip.

Could be done either by using more of the Cue points, or mapping the Transport position to Midi notes in Value mode directly.

I just upvoted this!

I have a lot of elements that I want to synchronize on the down beat and this it would be awesome!
it is much easier to set where the clip will start rather than set cues and mappings for a lot of clips.

I'm a relatively new user and don't really understand how to do this, can you maybe repeat what you mean? Also, any chance this feature is on resolume yet? Would be nice to just set the point where the clip/loop starts instead of going back in to edit it!

This sounds very similar to my feature request where you can pick on what beat you want the clip or animation to start on, so we can do beat offsets where "x" clip starts on 1/4, "y" clip starts on 2/4, etc. etc. so we can make custom animation but all sync'd with the beat.

Check out the cue points in the clips: https://resolume.com/support/en/video#cue-points You can use these to jump in the clip quickly.
