Is QC the Only Way To Build Layers?

mimoLive Custom Layers for mimoLive

Hello,

As far as I can tell, QC is the only way to build custom layers. I have many years experience with PHP, XML, PLists, javascript (basically web languages) but I am a noob with QC.

I want to know if it is possible to build a layer without touching QC … purely script or xml etc …?

@bbyrdhouse You could use JavaScript and HTML and use the Web browser source to do a layer. However, this will have performance limits. Do you want to share your ideas for the layers? Maybe there is another way to do it.

Let’ s get this group focused on Quartz Composer and building some cool layers.

I’m pretty sure the patch and noodle language is it. Looking to put together a group to find a mentor. I know programming but am totally flustered even after deconstructing an existing layer.

Hey @everyone We’re going to host a “Create Your Own mimoLive Layer MasterClass” on Friday, May 15th at 9am Pacific. https://us02web.zoom.us/j/83385186584?pwd=OCtzY2hTM1RxRnlUOXVZY0grVTB3dz09

Achim will walk you through creating your own mimoLive Layer in Quartz Composer. If you want to play along, please install Xcode, Quartz Composer and the Lua Patch (https://docs.mimo.live/docs/custom-layers#pre-requisitions) in preparation for this class.

Will it be recorded for those unable to attend?

Hi,

I would like to suggest a layer that will be used for programs that follow a format of:
content then commercial then content

A placer that would allow:
the first x amount of minutes to use the main camera and then at the close of those minutes it automatically transitions into commercial break for x amount of minutes and then comes back to the main camera.

If you are a “1 man band” then keeping an eye on the clock, the buttons, and the camera becomes very daunting. I’d love to see some of this process automated with a placer that times out and seamlessly flows into a commercial break and back to the show.

Such a layer should accommodate numerous commercial breaks throughout an hour or two hour program or podcast.

Thanks
