Edge blending / masks

Hello again,

I wanted to upload the izzy file to see how I could do an edge blend with the SEB quartz composer. I didn't create the original izzy file so some of the effects are not IC or QC. The original dance performance only used 1 projector but for my performance I have other video in the show that will need to be projected with 2 projectors, edge blended. So I wanted to try and edge blend the live video to make it more interesting. I realize that I am only using a standard def signal so I would be stretching the image over the two projectors. How could I patch this so I can do an edge blend with this file?

Thanks for everyone's help. I have my system up and running and I am excited to start using it.

Also; try this... It's not complete but it will get you started. @bagarrett74 ;)2f2ef5-magneticfieldsedge-blend-1.izz

Thanks Skulpture. I appreciate you doing that. So with this file I should go through Blendy and Madmapper to do the edge blend. Also what do the fader actors do in this setup?
Thanks again.

You had "Control Watcher" actor linked to each individual projectors intensity - presumably so you could fade each in/out each output? This does the same thing in essence.

There are a few options really. Edge blend seems to be the common method for the time being.

You need to send this out via a syphon output.

on a production in february i fell in love with Mapio - granted it was a bit of a pain to do back then since I had to do a work around to get mapio to work inside quartz (it was more a plugin than a stand alone application) so I was doing Isadora > Syphon > Quartz with Mapio output.

But mapio 2.0 lite is out and mapio 2 pro will be out soon... looks like you can just syphon right into mapio 2.0 and use that as the final output interface to do mapping/edge blending/cropping/warping in some kind of ready intuitive way. Anyways I will probably be going that route for the remount in the next few months.

It can also be used as a FFGL plugin! @Mark, that's potentially very exciting for our future!

Hello all,

SEB actor is not working for me, so I went hunting through the wide web.

I've tested Millumin, Blendy, Mapio2lite.

After that, I jumped on this thread: http://www.vidvox.net/forums/viewtopic.php?f=22&t=5863&p=21811&hilit=edge+blend#p21811

I downloaded the edgeBlend-01.qtz which is intended to work with a TripleHeadToGo, and I modified it to blend for a Dual Head to Go.

I will test it with 2 projectors tomorrow.

Attached are the QC comp.

Hope they can help.
