Better path to collaboration

Post by mattblack »

following on from my 'Problem' post about moving .avcs to make collaborating on deck building possible:

inside an avc there are paths to each video file. these are exact paths using the user identity eg for me (user matt)
an example path is /Users/matt/Dropbox/CClive visuals master/B+P ORIG/triangle_form1.mov

now if my man Pete wants to load that avc from our synched, shared Dropbox folder (ie he has exactly the same clips and folder structure) then it doesnt work because he isnt user matt , hes user Pete! so the clips are not found without Relocate.

what would be amazing would be an option to specify Resolume to write out these paths using either:
~ for the user name which is a standard unix convention. then Pete will find the clips in the same place on his machine

and/or, to allow local paths . If my avc is in a folder, and all the clips are also in that folder, then the path could lose the long form and just be /triangle_form1.mov or possibly ./triangle_form1.mov ie the rest of the path is taken locally from where the avc has been loaded from.

This would make several people collaborating on building decks much easier! Currently its very hard to do this. Please consider adding this feature.

Thanks.
