[Request] - Map video files in Pixels (with fade in and out)
Posted: 26 February 2018, 01:01
Hi Support,
I would like to have the ability to add video files to Pixels mode to map across my fixtures. Similar to the way we can currently use .gif files, I think it would be great to be able to use video files as well. In addition to that, I think it would be great if when triggering a pixels scene with a video file in Live Buttons mode, the "Fade in" and "Fade Out" functions would fade the video in and out, either to or from black, or to and from whatever else the fixtures were displaying beforehand.
I know that in order to support video files of a decent resolution, you would need a much larger pixel display than is currently supported (ie. more channels!). I have previously requested the ability for the software to support more than 6 Universes. I would like to reiterate this request. If every interface unlocks 1 universe over DMX and 1 universe over ArtNET, it is only fair that the software support up to 12 universes. I don't see why this wouldn't be an easy and frankly necessary addition to compete with other software like Martin M-PC or GrandMA which offer 16,32, or 128 universes, depending on connected hardware. Having more universes would open up the ability for users to create far more detailed effects, and make Pixels mode much more powerful.
