cameraCube patch plus camera controlsHi! I'm looking to hire someone to help with a quartz composition. We need to be able to add controllable virtual camera to the standard QC cube patch. We're not able to get the perspective/focal length quite right with the Cube position controls alone. (This is a projection mapping project that requires using the QC cube with VDMX layers projected onto a real cube that rotates). This is time sensitive, and we are really looking for someone to help today or tomorrow if possible! If you think you can help, please write to me at wileywiggins@gmail.com today and let me know what fee you think is fair and I can describe the project a little better. It's a four person DIY art installation and our budget is limited, but this is a really important problem we need help fixing! Thanks in advance. -Wiley Quartz Composer + Ableton + QLabHi, So I have got a project that I am hoping i can get some setup ideas form you guys. I am open to any suggestion as i am at the drawing board stage at the moment. So the idea is have lets say a multiple amount of either go pro's or replay xd cameras on stage plug them into some sort of matrix and then into QLab that then can be triggered from ableton individually via midi or jump to a different cue where cameras can be in a different configuration. QLab then sends final output to Quartz where the final effects and processing are applied. The final image is sent to a projector or to a hippo media server for mapping. So some thoughts on why this setup. I have read a couple of posts saying that quartz doesn't really handle multiple camera inputs that well, so hence the use of qlab. The reason for go pro's or replayxds is that they are small and can be easily hidden in a set on stage. Can you please give some suggestions if you think this is a doable setup or something can be cut or needs to be added to this. Thanks. Crashes when using Capture patch / QCAsynchronousQCViewHi everyone, I'm posting this to possibly save others the headaches and frustration I was encountering until a minute ago. PROBLEM: Whenever I had a Capture patch embedded in a composition (about 90% of the time in my case), I couldn't safely restart the viewer -- 95% of the times QC would just stop responding or even crash. Luckily KinemeCore tried to auto-save the composition (thanks for that!) so I didn't really lose much work. However, I did feel losing a lot of time, self-confidence and maybe even karma with all those crashes. SOLUTION: So, after a looooot of trial and error I found out it was the QCAsynchronousQCView that I (accidentally?) checked in the extended preferences that was bothering my system. After unchecking this and a restart of QC I didn't have any trouble. N.B. Probably someone else here can better explain the actual reason for this trouble. I know these options are all unsupported, for advanced users and "at own risk" and all, but at least I'm hoping someone else with similar trouble will now find this post. I know I would have liked that :) pyramus
