image slider is pretty cool. is there a way to make the pics fade into each other instead of cut?

did anyone even realize what quartz slider allows you to do?

i think i will make some demo videos.

This would be nice to see
Thank you

it seems the since ssl2.0 the compositions only works if you first save it as video track for the audio and then unload and reload the track. otherwise the content of the composition is not loaded. i don't know how to fix this yet

demo yes

sorry for the bad sound quality, old microphone and i'm having a cold :-D...
plus i'm not a native english speaker....

but i hope you understand me

hope this helps you to understand what can be done with the compositions

radikarl...awesome! Thanks for sharing...

Great stuff, I did not have to eject the track, it worked for me right away

yes, they updated something. i forgot to mention.
happy that you like it

is there an idiots guide to using quartz compositions in serato?

great work-a-round

i would love to be able to use quartz composer
ive opened it a dozen times and cant get shit to happen

hey radikarl can you please upload the tutorial videos again, the link is dead up there,thanks!!

sorry i accidentally deleted it.
but it was too long anyways. i will record a new one, simple and plain.

this week...

That would be awesome,thank you!

video showing qtz slider.
(image slider and movie slider work the same way, only with other file types.)

Watchwww.youtube.com

you can easily configure the swapping time and the order if you edit the files with quartz composer.

if you add (or remove) content to the folder which is scanned, the qtz will automatically update and use the new content.

Awesome! Thanks radikarl!! Cant wait to get home and check it..(nm)

hey radikarl thank you so much for this!!! its gonna help out alot i got it to work great but now i have to learn how to make the quartz files like your tom and jerry one. any tips??

also one of your old post u had the continuous video qtz, u explain how to use it but i coudnt find the file u mind helping a buddy out ;-) thank you again for you help u are awesome!!!! keep up the good work

tom and jerry video:
you might have noticed in the video that there are two MOV files in that folder also.

the tom and jerry qtz, as well as the first one with the guy and the girl in black and white are actually short video clips that are cut with video editing software to be a natural number of beats long.
the qtz files in the folder are programmed to just load a video with the same name and repeat it seamlessly.
by adding the extra information of how many beats are in this short video clip, i can "sync" it to the music.
so for each short clip, i need an extra qtz. where i can add that information specifically per video

but this can be done with copy and paste, and then i just have to quickly enter the number of beats into that copied qtz for a new video and that is it.

this could be made even more user friendly with a configuring text file, but i didn't find the time to do it yet and it was sufficient for my needs that way.

i think i will do this in a not so far future and release a full package...

sadly, the videos are not necessarily "on point" but at least at the same speed as the music due to the relative nature and data treatment of everything in QTZ.
if Serato allowed to get beatgrid information or even the position of the first cue point into QTZ, other things ans better syncing of the visual content would become possible.

continuous video:
i don't even remember that i posted this.
can you show me where?
i am sure i can help you with that.

however the trick is to just define a starting time inside of an XML file, then read that with QTZ and use it as starting point.
now if several music tracks load the same QTZ, it will still always refer to the same starting point as defined in the XML, therefore the QTZ (and whatever is inside, e.g. a video) will keep playing continuously even though the track changes.

yeah i think for most parties i do close counts. im new to qtz files so ill try what u talking about at least until u can get the package ;-)

how do you integrate the xml file with the qtz??

heres the post your wrote, yeah it was a year ago but like i said im just starting so all the info i can get is awesome

serato.com

ok lets discuss it there since this is where it belongs.

serato.com

yes, i will probably release something capable of doing this quite soon

amazing, cant wait to try these out

is there a new one that will fade pictures into each other?

there is, now.

boom! good work man!

Question.

in the next build.
is it possible to do a size/scale for when using the overlay window (not the deck1/2)

so if you want to do a slideshow OVER your mix.

I think this would be very useful if you work with an event/nightlife photographer in realtime
to have night images posted as they are taken.

heres is what I see.

Photographer takes pictures that get uploaded in realtime to a drop box that you share
that Dropbox folder is where the QTZ points to.
as the folder gets populated throughout the night, the pictures come up on the screen.
but not take up the entire screen.

Updated.

three new parameters.
X position
Y position
Size
