Is it possible to create a timeline in Runrev that would display movies or wav file as blocks?

Thanks

Hi Bidge,

what do you mean "as blocks"?

Hi Klaus.

Similar to a video editor:



Not necessary to have the wavform display but is this possible?

Cheers

Hi Bidge,

what would you like to display if NOT a waveform?
And how shoud this behave at all (clicked?)?

I have actually no idea, but on the other hand I don't have to

Anyway, I am sure I have an old stack of Mr. Mark Smith that will create a graphic representing the waveform of a given sound somewhere on my HD.

I will send it to you if you doen't mind

I'd be happy to send it to you if you haven't got it from Klaus already - but it would only be useful for wavs or aifs - no video....

On the other hand, I think what you want to do would be perfectly possible.

Assume you're using a simple rectangle graphic as the "block" representing the audio/video. You need to figure out the width of the block compared to the duration of the media clip, and then have a line graphic that you move across the rectangle in sync with the current position of the player - see the docs for "currentTime".

Cheers,

Mark Smith

ps. Klaus, only the taxman and the police call me 'Mr'

Hi Mr. Smith,

mabe I'm a fuzz (in my spare time)?

Hi Mark.
Many many thanks for your feedback on this. I thought it would be asking too much of Rev to do this type of thing. I may need some as I goi along help as I am a beginner with Rev.

Cheers
