I am working on an effect to projection map. I have multiple different effects that I would like to cycle through on one of the Maps. For instance I have a MovieIn going to Switch and also MovieIn going to RadialBlur then to the same Switch component.
How would I select between the different channels over a period of time? I would like to select Channel 1 then pause 15 seconds then select Channel 2, pause again and go back to Channel 1. I know I can input directly to the Index on the Switch, however I’m not sure how to cycle through them with the pause.
I’m sure there is a slick way of doing this with CHOP’s but I have not figured it out yet.
You could use a Count CHOP that resets after a certain amount of time, and followed by a Math CHOP using the Range Parameters you could make it switch at any time you like.
Ben thanks. What I ended up doing is an Animation Comp into a Trigger into a Count. That way I could control the timing of the events via the Animation. The trigger forces it to fire up to one and the count then just counts up by 1,2,3,4, etc… at the right times and selects the proper clips in the Switch.
This is a really old post, so I might do it differently now. But you can use a Timer CHOP to set your time between each count, and make sure the Timer CHOP cycles with no limit. Then wire his into the 1st input of a Count CHOP and you have a counter that increases by 1 for each time interval you set in the Timer CHOP.
You can then use the Count CHOP’s Limit Loop Min/Max to loop within any range you want as asked by original poster.
