Millumin 3 Download

[Mirtha Hinrichs]

Trynormalizing the layer. Now everything placed on that layer will scale to fit the size, position, rotation, opacity, blend mode, map, mask, effect and everything you picked for that layer (it preserves the original ratio of course and is restricted by the first boundary met).

Media that are smaller will be enlarged. Media that is bigger than your target will be shrunk. Despite the differences in sizes of media placed on a normalized layer it will all appear to play in the same size window (or target area).

This saves having to have layers for each media size you need to use.

I see it from a theater environment, where a play is touring and you need to adjust small things in every new venue... for example, i us millumin for a fully projection mapped set in a theater piece, where the set canvas can vary from venue to venue. At the moment i adjust my small things layer based, but in terms of show mode, id rather have 3-4 layers on screen instead of 20+ and no, there is no point to render things like a clock, notice board, steam from a kettle and other small things in the set in full resolution or embed it in the background(where the background now is only a image)... hope that makes sense...

I would find this confusing and I see it as going against the Millumin paradigm of scaling by layer. If this was to be implemented, there would have to be a mode you could set for any layer with independent media scaling.

Even if you could click on the clip & give it an X & Y position & a pixel width & height, safe to assume though it would be asking the processor to work exceptionally hard with regards to the size of each image/video in the library that you want to change?

This would be really awesome as I find with multiple layers when I do scroll down to the bottom (main video layer) the output on screen content tear & you have to wait a period of time until it has rectified itself!

Wondering if any experienced users would share their comments. I am trying to compare QLab and Millunim for a project we are designing now for delivery in a month and a half. We are looking at edge blending three Christie LX605 XGA projectors into one wide screen about 10 metres wide. The system will be portable and mainly used for awards and corporate events. Projected content will mainly be preproduced video clips, sometimes many in quick succession, all with audio.

We already have the screen and projectors but need to purchase all the playback gear. Both these software solutions are Mac based and offer integrated edge blending, mapping for screen alignments and playlist/timeline playback cueing but I cant really figure out how either really performs.

Is the edge blending in one better than the other? How stable are they in critical playback situations, are there lock ups, crashes, latency issues? How is the playlist cueing, can they play clip to clip seamlessly? How hard are they on computer resources?

Also for control/operators screen, do I run a dual output video card in the computer and run one output to the operators screen and the other to drive the video splitter? If this is right do these software packages have the ability to asign the program output to a specific output on the video card or do I have to drag a "window" over and position it in the extended desktop space?

As well I am thinking of using Matrox THTG or a Datapath x4 to split the signals to projectors....but would it be just as easy to run something like an AMF Eyefinity video card with four outputs. three outputs to drive the projectors and one to drive the operators screen?

I have to buy the entire playback system including computer. I would prefer PC but I don't think any PC software will do the job. We work in a mixed PC/Mac company so adding a dedicated Mac is not an issue. It would be a tower, not a laptop.

It will meet your requirements for soft edge blending (the Video Mapper is pretty funky), video playback with audio etc apart from playlist/timeline as its a media server. You can drive it from DMX, MIDI or computer keyboard hot keys though.

Sounds as though Qlab would be more ideal for your situation, with which you have the option of going for separate outputs per projector/control screen (which I would definitely recommend if you can, it will also work over multiple graphics cards)

I'd say cueing wise Qlab is significantly better than Millumin. Qlab is made for straight theatre shows (largely) and sounds as though it would be much more suited to the kind of thing your doing (its similar to playback pro, which is used widely for conferences, but has recently gained more features such as keystone etc.) Millumin is more of a VJ software largely aimed at video mapping not just creating a screen which you want to reliably playback the same thing on over and over.

Ive never had any issues with Qlab in a show (and I havent used millumin in one, only on research/development/testing things but never had any performance issues running on a fairly low spec mac pro) and the Qlab support is great as they are a considerably bigger company, also should you ever need an extra machine you can hire a license super cheaply for 3 dollars a day! Playback for both has been fine for me on a Mac Mini running a dual head doing a similar thing to what your describing with no issues playing multiple HD clips and crossfading into others.

Really id say your best to use one of your existing macs and have a play, Qlabs demo is rather limited on the video front, but as I mentioned you can hire a full license for a day to see what you think, and millumin has a fully featured demo you can download. Id have a go and see what works best for you, but my personal preference would defintely be Qlab unless your doing some quite advanced projection mapping which is where millumin really has the advantage.

Thanks for the info. I did have some communication with the Qlab developer and he offered a demo license that allowed better video testing. I'm gonna get the HW together and give it a try. I did like the Millumin timeline idea as I could see the progress of the many clips as they played.

In fact your probably just as well going VGA as your only running XGA, there are loads of cheaper cat 5 VGA balun boxes but as ever you get what you pay for, the magenta ones will be more expensive but also,in my experience, more reliable.

So I have never used a Mac professionally and am not sure how to compare specs for performance. I have found the following box on Ebay, could anyone comment if this will work OK with the Qlab setup we have been discussing here. I am ready to swap out video cards if needed. I want good performance and the tower will be dedicated to this Qlab use, not doing any other
