Re: how to dissolve videos back and forth without looping?

thank you for the file MJ, it helped to get new ideas.

i now use an applescript controlling midiPipe, using a "for to" loop increasing the velocity of a note to start the dissolve and another loop doing the opposite to dissolve back. the random chosen video i do control also through that script. good that i can steer QC using MIDI. i do not think this would have been possible without MIDI.

thank you for your fast answer again!

>> hi,
>> i am new on the list and have a question about dissolving videos.
>>
>>
>> ---------------------------------------------------------------
>> here is the scenario:

>> -i have one quicktime movie playing blue content. this is the base video.
>>
>> -then i have 3 other videos (Red, Yellow, Green), the active of

>> ---------------------------------------------------------------
>>
>> here what i want to happen:
>>
>> the basevideo loops continuosly for ever.
>>
>> when i send a MIDI signal (for example #C1) to QC i want to dissolve
>>from the base video to one of the 3 other videos and stay there.
>> when i send another MIDI signal (for example #C2) i want to dissolve
>> back to the base video and stay there.
>> ---------------------------------------------------------------
>>
>>
>> my problem is that i cannot figure out how to dissolve back and

>>

>>
>> sorry for my english, i hope you can understand what i men to do ;)
