For streamlining my recordings with mimoLive I like to have a way to change the backgrounds for my recordings via a keyboard key. At the moment I have a background layer which points to an image, with the mouse I need to change the selected image. Is there any way to use a keyboard shortcut to go to the next image or the previous one?
Hi @RedDev Good to hear from you. You can have a layer with variants and then use the “Cycle through variants” button of the Remote control surface to achieve this.
Dear Oliver, yes, but for this, I have to create the variants first I think. It’s about streamlining my productions, get as fast as possible to the results. So, my workflow is drag & drop of the background images to mimoLive as sources, and then using a background layer with this images and one variant. But yes, variants help, but add an additional step. Thank you for your fast response.
The Slideshow layer could even watch a folder on your drive and add new images automatically, but it advances automatically after a time.
The Media Playlist would let you control skipping to next but it can’t handle single images so you would have to create short videos out of your pictures first.
Of course, using the API you could create an external script that allows you to assign an image from a folder to a source dynamically.
I think this is a great feature request for a future version…
