Any way to have an input parameter to select the video input Hi there, I'm a bit new to QC but I already developped some apps & effects and really enjoy it. One problem I have: I did an application for light painting using video input (http://mattbeghin.net/?p=55). The problem I have is that it doesn't seem to be possible to select the video input without modifying the quartz composition, which is not a solution for me since I'm not on site each time it is used, and the camera is not always the same. Is there any Video Input patch that has an input parameter to change the device used ? Thanks ! Matt |
unfortunately, there's no way to change the camera input from the composition itself -- this is a major annoyance for exactly this reason.
Is it possible to create a composition with many VideoInputPatch (each one could correspond to a different camera model) and to enable them and select their ouput with a MultiplexerPatch ?
Yes, but depending on the camera you connect the name changes so if you send a patch somwhere in the world, you never know what name the camera will have. Even a DV-VCR camera connected with Firewire isn't always "DV-VCR"... It shouldn't be complicated to make a Patch with input selection... If I can make it, I'll tell you ;-)
