I just got home from playing some visuals at Kent St. The show went pretty well but unfortunately the internet connection was down. This meant I could use only the clips I had on my laptop - no flickr image leeching :-). I’ve seriously gotta make/process some more clips and/or explore some more different effects because by the end of the three hour set I was thoroughly sick of all my clips.
I added a couple of new buttons to the interface so that I could have more than 25 clips at a time to choose from but they didn’t work as I had planned. Rather than getting the next 25 clips from my xml file, they got only got one extra clip and replaced the first. Luckily I was able to edit the xml, cutting the top 25 clips and pasting them back at the bottom, then re-loading the thumbnails. Whenever I load an xml file everything pauses for a good few seconds, even if the file is stored locally. I think I’ll just try to make more space for thumbnails so that next time I don’t have to reload as often.
