P5 video output
Nov 9th, 2009, 6:07pm  
Alright, for my first of probably many questions for this community:

Is there some way to change my processing sketches output into a capturable video source? Some way to render it out, so that in another software, say Modul8 (or other VJ software), i can use it as a capture device and use my processing sketches in modul8 in that limited way, in real-time?

I'm asking because as I begin my foray into visual programming, I'd like to know if there is some way to transfer between my sketches, other video files, etc. in a VJ style context (no opening and closing sketches for people to see in a performance context), using pre-existing tools. I know I can export everything as .mov etc. but i want to be able to control the p5 sketches with midi controllers while blending them in whatever vj software I use.

I already know about Mother, and I'm looking into it. I'm just looking for other options that are right for me.

peace

I couldnt find the threat about that topic, but we already discussed that some time ago. I believe we came to the conclusion that the only way is to use an external screencapturing software. But it there are some better ways by now, would be good to know.

I thought of that as an option, and it seems a bit... clunky?

Is there some way to open up processing sketches in quartz composer? You are able to use .qtz files in VDMX 5 and have control over them with midi etc. So that seems like a good way to implement it, if possible.

Is that what is going on here? youtube.com/watch?v=RPdQAI3K9EE or the other way around... in that case how did he get a .qtz into p5?

Ok been doing more research...

Processing has been ported to javascript: processingjs.org
Quartz composer I believe can run javascript.

I don't know anything about javascript, but if this means i can write processing sketches for quartz composer, then use them in vdmx5, then i'd start learning right away. Can anyone verify that this is at all possible before i get carried away?

are there any news about this topic?
i really would like to integrate processing/java into modul8 too.

a suggestion, though i really don't know how to do it:
is there maybe a way to use video-streaming or to work with open frameworks or c++ instead of processing/java?

how is it possible to setup something like a virtual camera in general? i tried to find information about this, but always end up without success.
