with todays computers expected standard/minimal output resolution is probably 1024x768. i had 200mhz macintosh with 6mb RAM 2gb hard disc and 1mb video ram at that time 320x240 was a standard resolution for realtime work. I started using realtime video with max in 2000. "syphon recorder" is much more efficient than using record in jitter. it compresses fast enough, and files are not too big so hard disks can cope with it.Īnd yes, recorder just records what you put into it straight to disk. Sorry for the long description but give it a shot and get back to me if you have any problems.Photo jpeg is pretty good compresion for real time work. I tend to name my matching audio and video clips with matching names and numbers, so you know that Guitar001.mov will match Guitar001.aiff. Click "Okay" and save it next to your exported video file. Set it to Aiff / stereo / Sample rate 44.1 or 48. Don't change you're in and out points and go to File / Export Audio. For the rest:ĭeinterlace Video uncheck at first (much like frame rate and frame size, deinterlacing can help reduce file size but to be honest don't worry about it.)Ĭlick "Make Movie" make a new folder to export to because you will be repeating the process. Both effect how much the computer needs to process. Or you like the smoothness of its natural rate but will go for a smaller frame size. Important note (There is a balance between Frame Size and Frame Rate) You could decide you want the larger frame size but will go for a smaller frame rate. If you find your videos are not running well within 64(video)fingers you could try exporting at 15. To the right you should see frame rate: You can leave this blank. It does not work so well when you mix resolutions within the same preset. Important note: once you've decided on a frame size you must make all your video clips this same frame size for your 64(video)fingers preset. So you could try some different frame sizes and see how your computer performs with them. You're safer going smaller because the smaller the file the better 64 Vid fingers will perform but the lower the quality. Next is Frame Size: Here you also have some options. You can choose where you'd like this but I recommend somwhere between 50-30%īelow that is Sound click the dropdown and choose "No Sound" You will export your sound separately after this. Don't worry, just choose Apple Motion Jpeg. Click that dropdown and you'll see another array of choices. At the top you'll see a dropdown menu with the word compression to the left of it. Go to File / Export to QuicktimeĪ window with an amazing amount of options will come up. Play the video either by clicking play or pressing "L" (FYI, "L" key is play, "K" key is pause and "J" key is reverse play) Okay, so now find the frame that you would like to be you're outpoint and press the "O" key. Once you've found the best place for your inpoint, press the "i" key. You can move one frame at a time with the left and right arrow keys. Go to where you'd like your inpoint to be. Find a segment of the video you'd like to encode. From here you can drag the the playhead and scrub through the video. The video will appear in the Mpeg Streamclip window. Once opened go to - File / Open filesīrowse to a clip you'd like to convert and click open.

So, what I recommend you do is download Mpeg Streamclip. This is a long post but don't worry it's just a lot of description.

Check his recent video:Īs well this threads got a playhead position patch for Max 5 that he made called dial-a-movie. Schplingidy is a user on these forums who has been doing some very cool stuff with audio reactive video and the monome. I will have to add that to the docket.įor a good Max patch that modulates the playhead position is called midi-vidi: I need to make a tutorial for prepping your video clips for 64(video)Fingers. Once you begin triggering, it will appear as if the cube is reacting to the audio except in reality the audio and cube are reacting to your button presses. So audio only comes out of it as you mash the buttons.Īlthough that tutorials pretty rad and I could see it working in a cool way if you did use those as your video clips within 64 vid fingers and found really cool audio files to match the cube animation.
it's main purpose is as a clip triggerer. 64 vid fingers doesn't really like mpg files though it will import.Īlso 64 vid fingers doesn't have any audio input functionality.

If you're unsure what a codec is or how to encode a video in it post back here I can detail the process for you. They work best if you encode them with the motion jpeg codec. mov files you create should work in 64 video fingers.

mov you are creating a rendered movie file which cannot react to any audio input unless you were to modulate play position. I checked out the video and quartz composer is rendering the cube on the fly reacting to the audio input.
