    idle movie when you quit modul8

    Hi I jsut did a little experiment .
    when you quit modul8 instead of having a still picture as a background, why don't you have a movie instead?
    i did a simple quartz composition that plays a movie in background. to save CPU the quartz composer billboard is only enabled when modul8 quits. i scoped the ressource used by the cpu in idle mode; it's less than 1%. so it's valuable to use that kind of strategy.

    you can download the test right here;
    www.mrlupin.com/Modul8_Lab/downloads/id ... rigger.zip

    A/First launch the idlemovie.qtz comp in Full screen mode
    B/ copy (lpn) Trigger idle movie module folder
    C/ Launch modul8, then quit modul8 to enable the idle movie

    it's easy to replace the video in QC, jsut drag the video onto the comp then relink the iimage output point to the billboard's image input point.
    and Voilà

    Enjoy

    very nice indeed. no more unwanted image when M8 quits. AND it allows you to play idle movie while you tweak M8 without showing M8 full screen. this has come up couple of times at the show when I need to show something during launch next M8 project.
