Dennis Laff Posted January 26, 2015 Share Posted January 26, 2015 looks like you don"t get software only a dvd configured to your house. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Denny Posted January 26, 2015 Author Share Posted January 26, 2015 looks like you don"t get software only a dvd configured to your house.That's the way I read it too. Sort of like buying CCR sequences which are already finished. Seems like it would be a good way to see how video mapping would look on your house without investing in the software only to find out later that it didn't work out in your circumstances.

saxon Posted January 27, 2015 Share Posted January 27, 2015 I watched the tutorial, seems you get your projector first, project the PAINT app on to your house and outline it. send in the outline and money and they send a small sample clip back to make sure it works, if it does they send you the file of the video you purchased. Thanks for posting that, was interesting! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

robo Posted January 27, 2015 Share Posted January 27, 2015 I added video last year to mine with some video projecting and mapping. It was by far the biggest addition to my show this year it added a whole new dimension. visitors loved Frozen that was projected on the entire house with some pretty cool effects made in Powerdirector. Also Josh Groban's I'll be home for Christmas,troop version, with videos of our soldiers reuniting with their families. It takes some time to get your projector to lined up and the exact location every time you move it, I brought mine in every night. Once you get your mount secure and have the house outlined for masking. Everything else was done on my laptop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Denny Posted January 28, 2015 Author Share Posted January 28, 2015 Been doing a little research on this video mapping; found this freeware program that really looks promising. Haven't played with it yet, but thought I would pass on the info if anyone else is interested. It's called VPT7. https://hcgilje.wordpress.com/vpt/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dgrant Posted January 29, 2015 Share Posted January 29, 2015 I'm really impressed with the videos. I would love to try this but the cost of a projector plus at least one file set up for it...if it doesn't work, I'm out some money. I'm tempted though. The trick is my garage is set on a side so even though its white door type, no one could see except on that side. I'd have to mount a screen type something up on the roof or a silk-screen type arrangement on some surface. Fantastic idea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ken Benedict Posted January 31, 2015 Share Posted January 31, 2015 FYI: I'm working on a project to run three different videos from LOR into three different projectors.Three wide video plays great, then gonna send it out three different directions. I'm optimistic.More details on the Facebook page for LOR.And a final how-to video when complete. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dennis Laff Posted January 31, 2015 Share Posted January 31, 2015 Ken I have a question I have a projector that shows videos on a couple of songs using lor in a window how can I put another projector in another window and show a different video in the second window not at the same time I would like to know in light o rama how can I select what projector to use ? Thanks Dennis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ken Benedict Posted February 1, 2015 Share Posted February 1, 2015 (edited) Ken I have a question I have a projector that shows videos on a couple of songs using lor in a window how can I put another projector in another window and show a different video in the second window not at the same time I would like to know in light o rama how can I select what projector to use ? Thanks Dennis I gave directions on the LOR FaceBook page, but generally you create a video two or three times wider than normal and put your videos in either the first or second "frame" and send it out that way. An outboard video divider splits it out to each projector. There are three ways to get multiple videos out: USB video adapter, Matrox splitter, and a multiple output video card. I'll be producing a how-to video when it's complete. Kinda cumbersome, but you could use a third party piece of software to switch with a Command Line command from LOR Edited February 1, 2015 by Ken Benedict Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dgrant Posted February 1, 2015 Share Posted February 1, 2015 So I'm wondering if we can use two projectors, get LOR to command both of them at the same time, playing the same video file? The reason is that white garage door is mounted sideways to the street, therefor no one can see it unless viewed from one direction only. But was thinking I could create a screen up on the roof for a second projector to do the same main video too. Also, getting a video feed out to the projectors from the computer at high enough speed. Certainly would need a faster machine by far to run it. Spliiting for HDMI would be needed and then if that company would provide two different videos of the same song for the two projectors? I'm sure they would for twice the price but would have to ask. Shadows from existing things like megatrees and so on would be an issue too I suppose.
