AWESOME job on M.E. 2.0 (!!)

Andy_Boy

I had play with ME for 5 hours last night and try everything...and its awsome!!!! Only I found one problem, when is Quartz Composition Enabled and im change .qtz file sometime ME crush, not everytime but sometime. Its not a big problem, I disable QC then change ;) Nice job Nick...this version is mindblow ;)

Nick

That's odd. Could you please e-mail me your crash report?

Mark

Hi Nick... Yes I'll try to get you some more info on the "beachball when trying to quit" thing. My sense is that it's related to uptime, since I didn't see that happening earlier at home when testing (running ME for much shorter durations). I assume (if that happens again) it would help to check stuff like CPU and memory usage in Activity Monitor? Let me know if anything else would be helpful...

beat gridding! fark! i gotta get ableton and re-analyze files.....crap.

Mark

skinnyguy...I don't think you do. I don't have my files analyzed with grids, just the normal way...and the grid-effect thing seems to be working just fine.

Nick

I'll post more info about the beat-sync soon (hopefully - there's a lot going on right now). If you want "perfect" beat-synced videos, then you'll want to use the Beatgrid feature of Scratch Live (or Itch) to analyse your videos, and save the Beatgrid to your video file. If that isn't found, then MixEmergency can fall back to using the BPM of the video, synced from the first cue-point that you have saved.

Nick

@Mark - Right now I suspect that the problems when quitting may be related to the Video Input issue that you were also having. I still haven't had a chance to thoroughly look into that yet - but I'll try to find out more soon.

currently there are two ways to get beatgrids enabled. install ableton or ableton demo and enable the bridge. now beatgrids will automatically be created when you analyze and the beatgrid edti button will be enabled. you could also install Itch 2.1 and analyze there. Itch has beatgrid support natively. you have to edit the grids in Itch tho if you don't have the bridge installed.

Mark

djnyce: do you then need to leave the bridge enabled for the beatgrid to continue working? Or, are you seeing things working okay with SL/ME leaving the bridge enabled?

Nick

MixEmergency reads the Beatgrid from the file itself - so you won't need to leave The Bridge enabled, as far as I'm aware.

Nick, love the update! the auto border is beautiful. The beat grid is great but I can't seem to find the grid BE from the video to do the beat grid transitions... or maybe I just don't see how. Anyone else have this issue?

Nick

It's not out yet - it'll be out in the next week or two on our plug-ins page: http://www.inklen.com/mixemergency/plugins/

knappy

ah... good... thought i was losing it! Nicely done.

cool - that is what I was also looking for - beat grid transitions

djnyce

Mark, you leave the checkbox for the bridge enabled, but you never have to open up Ableton again. as long as the checkbox is enabled, you will have the ability to edit and create beatgrids.

Mark

Thanks djnyce... guess I finally have a use for the bridge/beatgrids after all. Even without having done that, the new ME effects looked pretty spot-on to me. I assume the beatgrid thing would help for live-drummer songs that don't keep a quantized tempo.

mark did u try your iphone for the live camera? how was it?

Andy_Boy

I will this week try it...with iwebcamera.. http://www.drahtwerk.biz/EN/Products/iPhone/iWebcamera.aspx

Mark

Yes, I've used it a bunch of times in the past week. Very crashy when actually turning on or off the camera feed. But seems stable if its left on (use the knob to fade it on/off). It gets a lot of attention :-)

Mark

Total SL 2.2.0/ME 2.0 uptime yesterday: 9 hours. No problems at all. Also haven't been able to reproduce the "beachball when attempting to quit" thing again either.
