for free running, don't use a montage track. montage tracks have fixed timecode, which allows for instance to scrub on a generative material.

This is why it's a wish list item and I explained the downsides of the alternatives.

In an effort to transition between seamless looping generative visuals on a paused/looping timeline (described in this feature request: ( https://forum.garagecube.com/viewtopic.php?f=29&t=36265 ) I have started using timeline player tracks containing the visual parater for each surface. However the ...

In case anyone else has come up against this, a workaround is to use timeline player tracks, but it's a little clunky: -In the timeline grid, create a timeline for each media changeover, with only the quads' "visual" parameter within each eg. "dunes" on quad 1 in timeline 1, "madnoise" on quad 1 in ...

A very common show scenario is for the timeline to be kept in a holding state in readiness for a cue, while other media is allowed to endlessly loop eg. Some lighting/mapping running animations while waiting for a video to start on cue. However montage tracks seem to have all media (even generative ...

I don't like it when users ask/comment about wanting more as soon as a massive amount of work is released....but timelines. These timelines haven't started basic, they look to rival some of the best timeline ui's out there..really leads me to wonder about the future direction here so can I please as...

Hi In 3.7 there seems to be some problems with the cue improvements. -The new default media position as zero(thank you!) doesn't do anything when you re-trigger the cue, only when coming from another cue. I would have thought that it would start from the start every time I trigger that cue? It also ...

OSC is often not supported at professional level equipment. They support sending UDP/TCP strings only. I've had no success filling this gap manually in order to integrate MM into a pro environment without middleware. I've learnt that the udp string "/medias/Clouds/assign\00\001" sent from one source...

I've just spent a couple more hours on this and it's a clearly ambiguous format to get right consistently. I've learnt that the udp string "/medias/Clouds/assign\00\001" sent from one source triggers the "Clouds"media, but the same udp string sent from other sources("packetSender" for example) doesn...

Thanks, I've seen the spec but that doesn't make it any more convenient. Millumin and Qlab for instance have implemented this "UDP strings as OSC commands" because there is the need in the production world where nothing much supports OSC. Things like Barco EventMaster, Christie Spyder, Dataton Watch...

Hi Matt I'm interested in this too. Tbh i've not got a handle on exactly how to structure an OSC packet out of a plain udp string command(which Brightsign players, watchout, e2 etc will send). For instance, I'm assuming just sending a UDP string of the OSC address is not going to work, for example "...

Thanks Matt,
As you know you can get precise details on frame drops in TD and I'm not getting any at all. I'd say it's the pre-reading that TD does giving it an advantage here?
I had already tried chunked and non-chunked encoding, with no effective difference.

Thanks Franz materials are rendered directly at the screen/projector resolution, as to provide resolution-independant quality. This sounds like how I was hoping it would work, but what confuses me is that if I scale up an output quad in an extreme way, it gets softer. Does the whole material render ...

Just HAP, with a single P5000 gpu(main display).

Sorry I should have mentioned, I'm on latest win10 with latest quadro drivers, and P5000.

Hi Generators have input for resolution parameters, but materials do not. What is the recommended workflow here? I have these considerations: -resolution deosn't seem to be driven by the quad's output size because it gets softer as the quad gets bigger. -Quad sampling the right aspect on a square ma...
