Using sensor to control video playback.
Posted: 27 May 2021, 11:49
Hi all,
I normally use the software to make music and sound things but I am trying out the video side.
I am trying to figure out how to do the following.
I am trying to get a sensor/camera to trigger video clips to play. So when the sensor/camera has movement
the video will play but when there is none the video stops playing at the end of the current clip and waits
to be triggered by movement again.
It's an eyeball. So I am trying to get the eye to open and stay open while people are near the sensor/camera and then to close
when they move away.
There are a series of clips in my timeline all starting with the eye opening and ending with it closing. I have a long sequence of
these. This gives the illusion that the eye is blinking. Hence why I need the video to stop at the end of the current clip to close the
eye.
Sorry it sounds very convoluted.
Any thoughts would be much appreciated.
Cheers,
Jeff
