Chapter 35. Version 1.9.1.4

35.1. Pixel Mapper

Support for playing movie files has been improved with the implemention of the Movie Mode attribute. Previously this was marked as Movie Direction but was never implemented. The new modes are:

Whole movie

0

Plays movie from start to finish looping, restarts when Movie is changed

Frms

1

Plays clip from start to end point (in frames) looping, restarts when Movie is changed

Secs

2

Plays clip from start to end point (in secs) looping, restarts when Movie is changed

Whole, Once

8

Plays movie from start to finish looping, restarts when Movie is changed

Frms, Once

9

Secs, Once

10

Whole, Int Strt

16

Play from start Plays movie from start to finish looping, restarts when intensity off 0

Frms, Int Strt

17

Plays clip from start to end point (in frames) looping, restarts when intensity off 0

Secs, Int Strt

18

Plays clip from start to end point (in secs) looping, restarts when intensity off 0

Scan Frms

25

Scanning for start and end point (in frames)

Scan Secs

Reset

255

Resets to start of Movie

The Start and End point reuses encoders A,B,E, and F in the Text Page (Text mode and Movies are never used together). For backward compatibility, Start and End point are not supported in Whole Movie Mode.

When scanning MagicQ will show the frame at the start and end point depending on which encoder was changed last. To choose a part of a movie the User can set Movie Mode to scan, set the start and end points and then revert to Clip mode to play the movie.

The current frame and time of the selected layer are now shown to the left of the master preview in the Media Window.

When using with shows with Pixelmap personalities already patched the Movie Mode ranges will not show unless the Head (generic_bitmap_fx3.hed) is reloaded using Edit Head, Reload Head.
