Help for Python script needed

Beginners
1

Hello,
I’m preparing my first setup and after watching so many tutorials, I still cant figure out, how to NOT cook all cointainers exept the two indicated in the both switch Top’s.
Please see my Setup in below video. The Movie file in Tops are just replacing the output of other containers that I will add.

So the input switches as soon as I start fading in, the next scene. How can I allow cooking, for only these two switch inputs? I would be so happy if someone could copy paste in the python skript I need. <3

Thanks so much!

Hi @Uberschall,

things cook if they are displayed - if I understand correctly, you want the Movie File In TOPs that are not in use to stop cooking? This could be as easy as just turning of the display of them. They will cook though if they are being displayed in the network. TouchDesigner will only cook what is needed. A bit more background on this can be found in this cooking article:

I might misunderstand your question though…
cheers
Markus
