ryankernz Posted September 14, 2014 Share Posted September 14, 2014 I am looking to do a sequence and I also have an old Projector that is no longer being used by my office. So I thought I would try and use it during a sequence to put snow on my house or something...question is as follows: 1. How can I include video elements in my show, and run over my sequence? Help?

ezimnow Posted September 14, 2014 Share Posted September 14, 2014 Using any of the free tools out there, I use (FLVTO) you can create a WMV file. Once you have your file you can open SE and create a new sequence just like any other and sequence away. Only difference is now you've created a "video" sequence. When you play it back in your SE make sure you have Video Preferences selected under Edit/ Preferences . I basically leave my projector on the entire show and when the Show editor plays that sequence the video fires up and plays just like a sequence. When I don't have a video playing I have a nice Christmas background showing. I've done this for the last 3 years and it works great. Other considerations would be if you have the projector inside or outside with a front or rear screen.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
godman Posted September 15, 2014 Share Posted September 15, 2014 How do you set up the projector in LOR to show the video? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cjcruz Posted September 15, 2014 Share Posted September 15, 2014 Here's a link to a few WMV video files I use in my show. I'll leave up for a short time. If anyone has a video to convert or add to list. Send me a PM. https://www.dropbox.com/sh/zikcbrj550zh48h/AACLzvFPmmVzws0nbrOKpnCRa?dl=0 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ezimnow Posted September 15, 2014 Share Posted September 15, 2014 (edited) cjcruz....cool to see someone else doing this. I have the same Frozen video as well as the peanuts...how are you displaying your video this year. Last year I used my projector inside but this year I bought a rear projection screen for outside. I anticipate it showing up much better. thanks PSThanks for offering your videos....EZ Edited September 15, 2014 by ezimnow Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
godman Posted September 15, 2014 Share Posted September 15, 2014 @ezimnow Is there anything that needs to be set up in the LOR sequencer in order for the projector to work? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ezimnow Posted September 15, 2014 Share Posted September 15, 2014 In LOR you have to make sure vide preferences is selected.... In SE Edit/Preferences/Video preference....be sure to check ( display video and full screen ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hung it over my 5'x6' window. Turned the brightness down on the projector. All videos looks great from the outside. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ezimnow Posted September 17, 2014 Share Posted September 17, 2014 CjCruze, I have another question, do you ever have an issue when playing your show in SE and when a video/song comes up sometimes it doesn't play full screen but opens a small window in the corner instead?

Do you have (show video) and (full screen) checked in SE? I also use a 2nd video card for my projector. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ezimnow Posted September 17, 2014 Share Posted September 17, 2014 Might be because of the video card....have to check that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cdanna77 Posted September 17, 2014 Share Posted September 17, 2014 Mine does that only when exit full screen is pressed while in full screen mode but haven't tested it out just yet with the projector plugged in as I just got my projector . Just make sure you have the full screen box checked. In theory it should work. Also, I have existing sequences that were done before I had the projector. Any idea how to add a video to an existing sequence. Sorry I couldn't find it here on a search. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ezimnow Posted September 17, 2014 Share Posted September 17, 2014 in the exsisiting just go to media file and select the Video you want to place into your exsisitng Sequence Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ezimnow Posted September 17, 2014 Share Posted September 17, 2014 Cjcruze, I take it you are not runing your show on a laptop, as I dont think you can run a seperate Video Card in a laptop..perhaps on a Tower ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I added 12 CCRs and RGB this year so decided to build a dedicated computer for sequencing and show only. https://www.dropbox.com/sh/1npmso8m8tbapyp/AAAnxmhug7vPE04055kObwr7a?dl=0 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wensteve Posted September 29, 2014 Share Posted September 29, 2014 How long did it take everyone to open the WMV file onto LOR Sequence editor? I am trying to create a New Sequence using a video file that is 33 minutes long. It's going on 5 hours and it's still only half way through the "Converting" part of the New Sequence application.
