Is anybody making a copy of all the material in the Tutorials Forum
Since the Forum is going away in June, has anyone started to make a copy of all the stuff in the Tutorials forum?I've made copies of some of the tutorial material on the main site, but haven't looked at the Tutorial Forum yet.I'm going to continue copying as much as I can for my own personal use anyway, but if anyone else is doing it, or has already started doing it, please let me know.Maybe we can co-ordinate our efforts. ps can't ..... believe John, would let this happen without so much as a…
Read more…Studio Artist is in Italy!
I was crawling the streets of Matera, Italy today and may have discovered where SA is hiding! (see attached photo). Not meaning to make light of this great, sad mystery. But I just couldn't resist as I try to make sense of what's happening. Losing my connection to SA, Synthetik and John has been a great sadness... and if real, ends a monumental era in my creative life. love,~Victor

"The Overload"! A video with music, from the various experiments I made in Studio Artist with stuff that I have learned in the last few days, from tips and tricks I found by scouring this site and the Synthetik site for tutorials etc. MSG! Paint Synth with MSG Path Generation! Movie Brushes with MSG Path Start Generation! Time Particles! Time Particles with MSG Path Start Generation running Movie Brushes! All that, and more! Haha I have been trying to stretch the Paint Synthesizer in the…
Read more…Teenage Tongue Cult
Hi, here is the video I made back in 2010 for my song "Teenage Tongue Cult". I finally found my master folder of image sequence files for it on one of my old hard drives, and since the version I had on my Vimeo was of pretty terrible pixelated low quality visually, I re-did it yesterday. It has extensive use of Studio Artist through the whole thing. I made it by first animating the characters and scenes in Flash, against a mostly kind of muddy green background, a color I knew wasn't being used…

You could manually run a PASeq step by step by clicking on the keyframe calls in order. This would let you do manual color selections after specific steps. You could then run the continue command to continue the PASeq if you then wanted the rest of it to play out automatically.
I'll think about what you're asking for. Are there other uses for this or is it really about manually selecting a color?
What you describe as a way to implement my idea is basically what I have been doing as well as turning History record on and off and switching between History palette and PASeq palette. This all works fine but requires a little bit of switching, stopping and starting.
So I am still thinking that I would like you to consider a pause implementation as, i don't know, an IP OP that could be placed into a History or PA sequence that would allow me to then manually adjust the previously run step by undo, then go to the editor window and make my adjustment.
As a direct example with Selective colour matte, I could place the pause right after this step in a PASeq, let it run and when it hit the pause command then I can undo and manually select my colour memory 1, or what ever I want to adjust, then continue the PASeq. When the pause was activated, It might be nice to allow me to enter some kind of note that would be displayed on the screen as to what actions I was anticipating to redo so that when I ran the PASeq at a later time I would be reminded why i placed the pause at that location. An option to continue the sequence might be "continue and skip pause" or "continue with pause" so that I could check that what I adjusted was to my liking. The pause could also allow me to create a manual region select if placed in the appropriate spot in the sequence.
This request stems from laziness on my part. I get a PASeq set up nicely and then experiment with it on either the same image at different resolutions or different images to see what happens. A lot of times minor tweaks improve the different images and the laziness creeps in when I start splitting a PASeq into multiple shorter units or recording parts to the history palette so that I can make those tweaks at specific spots in the run.
So if you feel inclined, please consider the option if you and others think that it might be a useful implementation.
Thanks John D. I am really starting to get into this powerful little monster you have created. The learning curve climb is really paying off for me now.
