sample video and trigger it immediatly?

[hamageddon]

fetched this one from numb, who was asking this Q in the chat
while nobody was around, so i move this topic here:

"can anyone tell me how ican smple live video footage and trigger
it immediately?"

good Q. any ideas, fellows?

Why would you want to capture and trigger immediatly.

Just use a live feed???

YOu could do that easily with the hardware device I was proposing....

I saw a documentation about a party series in the WMF club in Berlin at the European Media Art Festival 2000.

In this party series the veejays could choose the djs/livacts they'd like, kind of the other way round than ususal....

There was one crew that had an very nice instalation where the
party people could sample themselves into the material they used
for the show. There were 3 monitors where they could push a button and then their actions were sampled.

The software of the video guys triggered this movements to music and once the people got in that system their pictures are used all over the evening.

Maybe that's what you're thinking about?

well it wasn't my question, but i think was numb meant was
to capture a live feed, cut it to single clips, trigger them instantly.
like the stuff u'd be processing audio with ableton and sorts.

can this be done with the new version of resolume?

[eXhale]

nope...

In the next version of my software... basically we'll allow you to record the capture as a file, then manipulate it placement wise. In the interim you'll be able to do all the video effects that you would to any regular image.

@ current I actually take a DV cam and a USB capture device to each show, videotape the DJ for 10-20 seconds, capture in VirtualDub and shoot into my video sequencer. The entire process takes a good 3 minutes, but is worth it.

Max with the Nato plug-in for the Mac can do what you want but you have to build the patch yourself (which isn't too hard). They aren't particularly cheap (~$800 USD with student discount), but the software is extremely flexible and powerful.

i know max/nato, that's we r using pd/gem :)
but i haven't seem readymade solution 4 both of them,
from my point of [vju:] that patch ain't not that easy
as it might seem. remember, u wanna cut it live, and reuse it
instantly in a vj-like app.

- record function (real-time video sampling)

Was hoping to be the first to provide sampling.

[hamageddon]

maybe u spent too much time just talking about it ;)

[infopocalypse]

Well it's on the lengthy itnerary, shortly after UI work... it will probably be implemented as a filter in case you want to sample something from a non-capture source as well... but UI isn't exactly easy.

Check-out www.steim.nl

Image/ine is a Macintosh program that allows a user to manipulate visual source material in a live performance environment. Video sampling and playback, keying, displacement and other effects are available with video (live and recorded), QuickTime movies, text, scanned images, image files with alpha channels. Unlike digital video editing programs such as Adobe Premiere, Image/ine works in real time. There is no compression slowdown, no rendering time - the digital filtering effects are immediate and controlable through Midi.

Lifted it direct from the site. Makes me sound intelligent and all.
