Amazing tutorial! And the actual basic idea that recently brought me to TouchDesigner. Now I was thinking... any ideas on how to make each of the videos loop from start to end in its original duration while intercalating simultaneously? Eg. If video 1 starts from frame 1-60, the next time it appears in the sequence would be from frame 61 onwards. Or alternatively in a "Griffithian" way, if in a sequence of 3 files with a fixed variation rate of 60 frames, with video 1 going from frame 1-60, followed by video 2 going from frame 1-60 and video 3 also going from 1-60, the next time video 1 appeared would be from frame 182 onwards (if it's that long), that is, creating the effect that it was still running while the second and third video played.
Thank you for this awesome tutorial. I have a question, what if instead of changing videos every certain time or beat I want them to play the original duration? I want the video folder to play the videos randomly but after each video end.
Great tutorial as always! I find it always easier to randomization with just a pattern CHOP set to "random," a length of one, with rounded integers. It also has the from/to ranges so it keeps things a little less messy. Even with little tricks like that, my projects are always much messier than yours.
thank you very much for all your very helpful tutorials! really appreciated. I have a question regarding how to merge two Table DAT with this automated video cutter setup. have you done a similar tutorial with this setup? (Two Table DAT (one consisting of open source data, another consisting of video files connected to the CHOP mechanisms in the Tutorial 54). hope very much to know how I can process. all the very best
@@sanriokix its probably related to the path. Check if your final list only shows the paths so the expression in the movie file in top works correctly op('list')[int (op('index')[0]),0] it might be that the movie file expression loads something else than the path ex the name of the file.
How could I do this, but have it select from say 4+ different folders and have the folder selection controlled from a macro? So I could go into the animals folder for a while, then back to sunsets, etc? And if anyone is reading this and willing to answer this question - how could I also mix this with other touch designer patches I've created while keeping everything performant? tyvm
If you make this with 4k video so fast your frame rate will not be happy. With hap is ok but with mp4 you ll drop frame for sure. Each time you change a video you should preload the other one so having two movie file in, while one play the other loads the next one. You can make this scrubbing things with a cacheTop / time machine or with a render ,a grid and a 3d texture.
Shutterencoder is apparently not working fine for me: when I set the right codec and I select a folder for the converted files, but when the "conversion" is ended, there's not any new file in the folder, and the previous files are exactly same size. Is there anything I am missing? Awesome tutorial, as usual :)
thanks! hmm works without problems for me. i just drag the file into shutterencoder, choose hap as function and click start function. creates a new file in the directory.
@@elekktronaut thank you so much , I have a video art project due tomorrow I'm using this technique keep doing what you do your tutorials always strangely pop up when I need them!

Quick tip, on the index chop value, set it to cook type Selective and check only Values, for me it is way less perfomance heavy like so!

u got any solutions regarding this? sounds super nice
Very useful as always! :) Thanks Bileam!

awesome! A great extra would be to be able to switch on say 2,4,8 or 16 kicks to make it less MTV-like.
You could potentially do that with a count chop and setting it to limit and loop
@@stickwithit yep ive done it this way

So cool brother trying to get back into some TD❤

Any idea why my output keeps looping only on one video clip and not moving to the other clips?
Ironically I already did this based on two different tutorials of yours! (PS: You can see this on the song called "Morte")
On Moviefilein there is a Warning: Failed to open file (/project1/moviefilein1) . Any help would be appreciated. Thank you!
usually related to the path. Make sure you don't move files around if you're using them in a project
@@LucasVogel Thanks got it working, very nice. & thanks elekk.
hi! sorry for replying to a year old comment, but how did you fix this?
@@sanriokix its probably related to the path. Check if your final list only shows the paths so the expression in the movie file in top works correctly
op('list')[int (op('index')[0]),0] it might be that the movie file expression loads something else than the path ex the name of the file.
Great channel! Subscribed, may I ask the key/mouse visualizer widget you are using in the lower right corner? cheeers
Would this also work with the DXV codec?

notchLC is a very good codec too
What's a good source for videos like the ones you are using?

any clues on how to keep the sound of the videos?
audio movie chop + audio device out chop!

Hmmm. Definitely not triggering video o kick at all. Going to go back and redo the audio network again. Not sure what happened.
I got it! adjusting threshold of the trigger node just as you had stated! Excellent instruction Bileam, thank you much!
