This forum closing - my attempt to keep things going
Hi Guys,So I have setup a forum here:http://www.sawberry.com/bbs/It links to the archive stuff. Plus allows posting on the threads which mirror the threads here.In a few days this forum will close so this is my attempt to keep things archived and also allow the community to continue.The way it is setup makes it difficult to search but i'm working on that in the meantime. The basic is to preserve the knowledge from this site and search will come later just i have a day job also so I can only get…

the ultimate dream of drawing on top of a movie and having the paint interact with the movie is still just out of reach.... until John surprises us again.
Wouldn't that be nice though...
I did try the dual mode but didn't feel very comfortable with it. I'll keep playing with it. The sample presets look cool. I hope there will be more later. I'm much better at using presets than at making them :-)
To make a dual mode action all you need to do is choose the paint preset you want, then choose the secondary operation .. either a ImOp or a Warp is a good place to start.
Try scale proportional for a start. With your paint preset selected head to the warp editor, select scale proportional, pen down on the canvas to make a small adjustment with the warp. Then head to dual mode. In the dual mode editor make sure that warp is selected for the "Dual Op".
Now you can draw on the canvas and 2 things will happen at once.. the paint will draw and the canvas will scale.
Now for more fun hit cmd-Shift-r. This runs a loop command. The paint preset you selected will paint in auto mode and the warp will be adjustable interactively... pretty cool stuff. Have fun.
As to painting on a playing movie, i guess i'm going to ask the question i always ask when someone talks about this, which is how to you envision this working (and please provide a very detailed answer). Because when you start thinking about it there's a number of different questions that come up.
Let's say you are drawing a single paint path. Now should the entire path persist as new video frames come into place over time? Or is just the current nib location painting on the current frame and the older parts of the painted path are not persisting?
When you say you want the movie to interact with the movie, what kind of interaction are you thinking of?
I need to play more with the dual mode as I said. The reason I didn't feel very comfortable is that it uses functionalities that I don't use. I do use image operations but rarely, and MSG is totally beyond me, at least until I can find a tutorial to get me started.
I've been reading the SA4 documentation and noticed that much of it seems to be based on or inspired by the way music synthesizers work. I suppose that's why I've always felt so baffled and frustrated by it, lol.
Anyway, is there a chance that the dual mode will some day also handle paseqs? Or does it already?
When you say you want to use a PASeq in dual mode, is this because you want a second paint preset to be running at the same time?
I'd like more than one thing to happen on the screen at the same time. For instance, draw a line in one corner, and before it's finished start drawing another, so that for a while both actions are happening simultaneously.
I tried to do this with paseqs, but it seems that if I start running a new paseq it stops the one already running, is that right?
