Reset everything, launch the Animation COMP for video recording best practices

Hi there, long time not here, coming back a bit.

I need to make a series of short videos.
I want to use TD for this and the Animation COMP as it is perfect for controlling what I need to control knowing this is very generative too. It helps to statically control some parameters.

During my test cycles, I need to reset the COMP often and to reset a feedback network and to restart an Audio File In CHOP etc etc.

I’d like to push a button only and the Animation COMP would reset and I’d do the feedback network reset + audio file in restart to the beginning of the sound .

I know how to do that with one button only without the Animation COMP but would you suggest me something with it ??

Thanks a lot :slight_smile:

Hello Julien,

– I would link the animation index to a timer (to start, stop and rewind animation) and a slider (to manualy move it) through as overdrive chop

– I would separate the animation for changing parameters and a chop execute to reset the parameters (as feedback).

Hello Jacques and thanks for your answer.

Ok for this and thanks a lot, I got it well.

I also saw that the duration of the whole segment is set up in the Timer node (Length) and I understand that this Length match the length of the whole range between the two blue matkers

And If I needed “more” resolution (I mean, I want to keep 15s, but getting more room for drawing in the bottow area) I should change the end marker to something bigger, right ?

Actually, I double tested, but don’t know how to change the 600 limit. I mean: I set 15s as length, and start, the playing cursor of animation goes from 1 to 600 in 15s. good. I set 5s, the playing cursor of animation goest to 600 in 5s. very good.

But how to add more space on the screen at the bottom area?

Julien,
There is 2 separate things:
– you change the global time in timer
– you change the “resolution” in math1 chop. (to range 0 to 5000)
The flag is only here for visu. If you change the math output range to 5000, you will have 5000 steps in the same time.
