Whatever dude. If you doubt my creativity and ability to troubleshoot and figure stuff out, check my youtube. I'm working on a show with about 100 moving parts, virtual and literal. I'm not going to spend my afternoon installing mods, figure out how to get them to do whatever he did, create an alignment grid like the one in the vid, etc, etc, etc in order to do something that should be a matter of checking a "blend edges" box in the advanced output. And fyi trying to figure out how to do a "work around" for a basic feature of multi-projection that's lacking in this software isn't really being "creative". I spent $420 on this software so I could spend my time actually being creative, no trying to figure out how to blend edges. I have no doubt I could do it, but I have lots of other more important stuff to spend my time on, like converting one of my midi controlled mini robotic track cams to a sky cable cam like at a football game. And btw most of my videos mention the software and plugins I'm using but I wouldn't call them "tutorials". Perhaps "demo" maybe.

If you don't get that, that's fine. I''m sure I'm the ass here. That's also fine. I hate messages boards. Some people? You're right about that.

To be clear, again I appreciate the video and the guy who made it. But I doubt he'd call it a tutorial.

[B3Bear]

Oh wait, apparently he does. My mistake. Funny how this thread started like 3 years ago with some poor customer asking for a step by step guide, and the link they gave him in reply is definitely not that. No, I don't think I'm alone here.

I'd just use GrandVJ but I'd like to syphon my video loops from QC in to the middle of my 20x8 foot screen and I'm not sure yet if that's possible in that software.

Can you please stop being a 14 years old girl?
We understood… this video is not a tutorial… yep… soft edge is still not here after 3 years… sorry about that… it's still on its way. In the mean time, for your PRO projects you can still use what we all pros use: Watchout…

If this thread continues in this way I will be forced to lock it.

[B3Bear]

Right. Use grandvj/another solution or spend a bunch of time figuring it out. Ok if i do the later I be sure to post the step by step instruction to save a bunch of other "artists" time on bs so they can spend on their art. And answer a 3 year old request. Really professional btw garage team admin. Very nice.

Oh yeah, garageteam if it's so easy why has it been 3 years. If you get it why no real tutorial? But I'm an ass for asking for help. Whatever. Words are weird.

Let me be very, very clear.

Modul8 does not currently support soft edge. If someone finds a solution for soft edge by using Modul8 they are completely free to provide a proper step by step tutorial on how to do it, or not.

From our point of view, because Modul8 does not currently support soft edge, there is no reason we should provide a solution, in this case a work around, that does not meet our standards.

We have looked very carefully at the other inexpensive solutions out there for soft edge and determined, early on that these are not good solutions. We are taking our time to get it right.

This is the last word on this matter. It does not warrant anyone the license to be publicly rude.

[B3Bear]

That's fine and I understand. Everything I said is still true.

[B3Bear]

Just so I know was I rude before or after I was referred to as "some people" and a "14 year old girl"? Ok, I can come off harsh and for that I'm sorry but these opinions aren't baseless and text can be interpreted with many tones off voice. That's why I like using emoticons but then you just look like are newbie r-tard. It's truly a lose/lose. I always try to be respectful which is why I pointed out in my first point that I appreciate the vid.

Sorry but I spend SO much time troubleshooting and trying to get stuff to work and edge blending was one thing I thought would be easy and maybe I was a little frustrated. It's still all true stuff thought. Take it as you will, I feel bad for the other customers in this thread that were made to look like r-tards asses and who may have also come off as rude because of their frustration. And sorry GC if you've gotten a bunch of complaints about this but I only posted once. Don't act like I've been making a big stink out of this with your condescending remarks. That's not a professional way to deal with customers.

[ilan]

I understand your frustration. I have already spoken to sigmasix.

However you are still using unpleasant references and I kindly request you to stop.

Thank you in advance.

[B3Bear]

Sorry I didn't mean to be unpleasant, but sometimes the truth hurts. I'll try to not mention competing software or use colorful "slang", if that what was unpleasant. Being blown off as uncreative jerk (ie "Some people") and a 14 year old girl wasn't very pleasant either. Sorry if this is unpleasant.

[B3Bear]

For the record, it's fine that Modul8 doesn't support EB. I get it, it's fine, I'm not complaining about that, and re-read my posts if you think I am. We all probably agree that it's an important component of multi-projection and if it's taking longer to get it right, I understand. Things always take much longer then I thought because problems always arise, no matter how simple a task seems. My original post was only meant to point out that the vid isn't a tutorial and ask if one exists yet, and yes to point out that 3 years is a long time. And maybe validate some of the previous posters.

I apologize that a remark from someone who is coming from a very different place when it comes to time management got me irritated. That was unprofessional of me. Luckily, i'm not a pro video whatever. I'm just the curator of a looptastic spectacular.

Can we all just be friends?

[ilan]

No worries. Just trying to keep the house in order.

[B3Bear]

Doesn't the other software you guys make do edge-blending?
