Other:

•Normalize Height/width option from the normalize button
• Force media output to a defined pixel size
•display pixel type and output format in modul8
•64bit version
•video live tracking tool
•soft edge for multiple outputs
• add Bezier mask tool
•a video output over IP
•a memory buffer window to kill buffer or force media to laod and scope memory used for a media.
•h.264 video export from the logical record
•audio input record
•improve media sync performnce
•add a default media loaded in buffer that would be used when a project is loaded ( or keep in memory the current media displayed while the others are loaded)

+1, on his points

As well as following:

Syphon should be implemented on the module level. The results of one module should be sent to the next one. User should be able to direct as to how videos are routed from one module to the next. Basically I am hopping for almost patch environment where syphon is back bone of comunication.

i forgot,
i wish we could change the color of Shapes form the module editor
or at least change it with a property . that would save ergonomics UI drawing process time

One thing I like to see sorted out is the availability of keyword data.

Let me explain....

When a Keyword is triggered, the keyword scripts on the modules receive a message (keyword,param,layer)
...however, this message is sent out before the keyword data is available via modul8.getValues()

While this is normally not a problem as the data is available via the keyword param, there is no way to retrieve data from the 'info' keywords, which only become available after about 3 elapsed periodical cycles. The result of this is that I have written many a script which ends up working on inaccurate data.

My wish is that when a keyword message is sent to the keyword script, all of its data is available through getValues.


Oh yeah, and ditto the 'line numbers'. Good call!

Thanks,

Andy T.

Ha ha...

I've just realised I've made a request to not be kept waiting for a couple of thousandths of a second!
It's laughable, really. Who do I think I am, the Nike Corporation? As though I have something better to do with my 3/1000th of a second!

But seriously, it would be good if it could be sorted out.

Right then, number 2 on my list:-

The main window is on all of the window layouts, and cannot be removed, or kept minimised.
Why is that?
The window layouts is such a great feature, but really, I only need one view of the main window.

I would like to 2nd the request for the undo/redo function- just seems silly that its not there... We can all use the chance to take our mistakes back!

Best wish list ever .....

i hope for version 3.0 .

and Andy T. did a real good job on gener8 (micromodul8)

we have now 5 different timelines (ableton live, qlab, vezer, gener8, millumin)

we have more transfer modes , excellent...


i don´t know if it´s listed but maybe it would be quite helpful to have

.pixelanalisis (or call it tracking of pixels)

most effects in NLE and Compositing Tools (AFX, Nuke, Fusion) is the ability to analize the pixel motion.
MD8 has audio detection (very cool) , but the ability to react or interact with pixel is something that would
shift MD8 interactivity to a new level.

As this would be calculated in the GPU it could be very fast. Imagine visuals that react to sound and to
other visuals.

. playback from any position of logical record (you can jump to different positions but if you hit play it starts from scratch)
. progress bar layer play_rec_ (ctrl_layer_record_stopPlayRec)
. some of the most common filters (rgb offset, glitch , etc ) should be implemented

that´s my new years wishes for 2015 ....

what are yours ?

Happy New Year
A big Thank you to the Garagecube Team

So long and thank you for the fish .....
