  • Multi shader video layers to play as videos, not stills frames.

    Posted by Stuart Paciej on August 1, 2016 at 4:07 pm

    I’m creating a previs for a sphere of video screens, I am populating the screens using the multi shader.

    I am doing this by loading a video on to one layer and then using the ‘To Layers’ function to send each frame to a shader. However what i really want to do is have multiple instances of this video layer playing, not still frames.

    Once I have this I’ll be playing with various effectors (random to stagger current frame of the video and plane effector to transition)

    I’m sure there’s a better way of doing this than manually loading each layer and setting it’s animation properties??

    Thanks!

    Unfortunately I don’t believe there is. I once had to go through that grueling process with dozens and dozens of videos.
