different value triggering moviein cue

Beginners

Hi,

Right now, I’m detecting a person’s position using Kinect in vvvv and then exporting those values to TouchDesigner via OSC. TouchDesigner will then switch between video based on those values. I’ve managed to switch between videos using the Switch CHOP. However I noticed that the triggered videos don’t start from their first frame. Now, how can I triggered the displayed video to be played back from the first frame? I’ve set a trigger to change the movie cue, but I couldn’t find a way to perfectly trigger it based on the values I got from OSC.

Any help will be appreciated.

Cheers

You could use a Fan CHOP set to “Fan-Out” and input the index channel that controls the Switch. This will give you a series of channels where one of them will be a value of 1 depending on the index value. Export these channels to the appropriate Cue parameters (matched to the Movie In that is referenced by the switch index) and the Cue parameter will let the movie start playing from the Cue Point as soon as it is selected as the Movie to be played through the switch.

Hope that makes sense?
