Hi Modul8'er!

I am going to do a light installation from 21-7 o'clock nonstop. So no bugs, must run 100%.

What I want to do is:

1. Capture a snapshot from my webcam ever 15 minutes
2. Use/Show this snapshot for 2 minutes in order of appearance in modul8 and apply one or two effects
3. Next snapshot
4. Capture the whole event
5. End the event at 7.00 o'clock

What I have is:

1. Apple Powerbook running Os X.4
2. Webcam usb
3. Videoprojector
4. Modul8

I am new to modul8 and appreciate every answer - thank you.

I think you'll find modul8 is currently more suited to live performance than time-line based work.
try vjforums. there was a similar subject there recently.

I agree with the previous poster - a program like Isadora or Jitter would better suited than M8 for configuring as you planned. As someone who does this kind of work, remember, no set up / program is 100% reliable!!
