Newbie: Using numeric values in a textfile...
« on: Mar 17th, 2005, 10:59pm »

I am doing a video project that involves creating a visualization derived from numeric values stored in a textfile.  Is it possible with Processing to create a visualization programmatically using time-stamped numeric values in a textfile?  
 
For example:  I want to overlay graphic information on top of a long video clip (lets say 15 minutes of footage).  The graphic overlay needs to change (color, position, or opacity for instance) based on a numeric value (lets say 0-10 for now) periodically pulled from a text file (7-10 times a second).  Any ideas as to how whether this is possible using Processing and if so, how this might be accomplished?
 
Also, To what extent does Processing accommodate large video projects and how does it compare to MAX or Flash in this regard?  
 
Thanks.

I am curious about this too.
 
So we have some video stream(could be live), and we want to apply effects, stored in a separate control file.
 
We could make a different kind VJ tool as cool as GRID2!
 
I'll have to investigate this later.
 

I hate programming . . .
