  • Video Generators stuck at 65 seconds???

    Posted by Jeff Weisinger on June 1, 2009 at 1:57 am

    I don’t know if this is a standard default, nor do I know how to change it if this is not the case.

    I have downloaded two free plugins. Mondrianesque and Coverflux. At first I thought Mondrianesque was crippled at only 65 seconds, and now I notice the same in Coverflux. I tested other generators and it’s the same thing! Is this the default length for video generators and how can I go about changing it? Coverflux is great, but the song I’m putting the photos to is near 2 minutes. I can’t for the life of me figure out how to change the default time.

    In need of some help.

    Found this link on GeniusDV:

    Man those guys ARE geniuses 🙂 If anyone knows of an alternate way, that would be appreciated as well.

    Didn’t watch the tutorial, but if you open the generator and change the duration to whatever you want in the duration box before you edit it into the timeline you can make it 12 hours if you like.

    All the best,

    Thanks Tom. That’s pretty much what GeniusDV said. Load it up in the viewer, change the duration in the duration box, and then edit it to the timeline. I wish it was easy to manipulate once it was in the timeline though.
