Re: [QLab] Qlab 3 to Resolume to Trigger Videos - MIDI (OSC?) HELP!

Hi Anthony,

If you're using QLab 3 you can just use the OSC Cue.

Hi Guys

I was looking at creating some video mapping sequences on Resolume and these will then be activated during a play using QLab. Did any of you guys had any luck achieving this?

kindly

I assume you mean resolume Avenue 4?

If so……..

Set up an OSC port to resolume in Qlab settings if you are on the same machine as Qlab localhost port 7000.

Enable OSC Input in preferences on Avenue 4

Then create some empty OSC custom messages in cues in Qlab.

Go into resolume and on the mapping menu select edit application OSC Map.

Select Deck tor Layer in the OSC pane bottom Left  and click on any control or clip in the interface.

The OSC string appears in the  pane

For instance for layer 1 x position OSC mapping would tell you the required OSC message is

/layer1/video/positionx/values (Float 0.0 - 1.0) range (-16384.0 - 16384.0)

Copy the string and paste it into the Qlab custom message changing any parameters to the numerical or string value required

So you would put something like: 

/layer1/video/positionx/values 0.5125

Press Stop in the OSC mapping pane

Test your Qlab cues.

Once you have looked up a few parameters then its quite easy to guess what the OSC addresses should be without opening the OSC Pane.

If you want to fade parameters, you will need to use MIDI and not OSC. But you might be OK with OSC if you use the  resolume transition controls and set those with OSC from Qlab e.g

/layer1/video/transitionmixeroption 23

/layer1/transitiontime 0.5

/layer1/clip5/connect 1

Good Luck!
