For example, you could create 1 for the front, and 1 for the side. Or perhaps you even create 3: The 2 detailed ones, and then a 'low res' overall view.Since the visualization is no longer tied to the sequence, you can split things up much more logically.Of course nothing beats looking at the real thing, but hopefully you'll find the new Visualizer gets closer.

cmoore60 Posted July 13, 2011 Share Posted July 13, 2011 Reading Mike's reply spurred a thought.This almost sounds like a version of the Holiday Lights Designer. Since it is no longer tied to the sequence. Could there be plans later in time to make it run on a seperate computer from the sequencing computer (over ethernet) and then give us 3 programming screens 2 for sequence editor and 1 outboard for visualizer.Chuck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've personally tested it across my network. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cmoore60 Posted July 13, 2011 Share Posted July 13, 2011 Cool!Will S3 (to use the visualizer across the network) require that you fully license another computer to run S3 even though you may only need the visualizer on the second computer?Chuck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

taybrynn Posted July 13, 2011 Share Posted July 13, 2011 I'm also very ok with the existing pixelated animation image ... its not super realistic, but does give a good general idea of what to expect ... and goes across two homes. My base image (of both homes) was obtained from the google maps "Street View" ... which uses a really wide angle lens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marty Slack taught me his approach back in 2003/04, one that I have used ever since - lead the audio with the lights by a fraction of a second, and it will appear more exactly sequenced to the music, than the computer visualizer display would suggest. I used that same lead when I overlayed the audio in the Holiday Lights DVD series, which is why the timing for many of the displays actually came out a little better than how there were on the actual submissions...GregHey Greg -What fraction of a second are you using? .1? .05? .02? How much of a delay are we talking about?Thanks!D.T. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
