Re: Video mixing using MIDI

Hello jean-Paul,
just to say that Resolume would be a good solution for the manipulations 
you want, and very easy to manage : you plug your usb cams, they appear in 
the soft (as an image or a video), you select the midi command you want to 
trig one or another (as in Live).

Objet: Video mixing using MIDI


Hey everyone, 


Does anyone here have any experience or know of any ideas on how to mix 
video content in a live setting using a MIDI controller? Here's my vision: 


As a live loop artist ( http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qdZRqF2taZI ), I've 
always wanted to have cameras (GoPro or otherwise) attached to me/my 
guitar/my other gear so that people in the audience could see what I'm 
manipulating from my vantage point. I was hoping to have a minimum of 3 
cameras running, attached to a projector that would then display those 
different angles to the audience. 


What I'd like to do is be able to control which camera angle is 'selected' 
on screen, preferably with my feet. It'd be great if I could manipulate 
other audio hardware devices too using the same MIDI signal, so that I 
could essentially trigger something like playback of a certain layer while 
simultaneously switching the camera from angle 1 to 3. 


Take this idea one further, and incorporate some basic lights into the 
mix. 


So, any ideas for something that could be used to switch between cameras 
for live video projection? My preference is for hardware since I don't 
trust laptops. Not particularly interested in effects and/or other visual 
manipulations either, but wouldn't turn them down! Thanks!
