FileStream, video to effects to VideoOut

vvvv beta question
1

hello everybody.
kind of new aroud here.
i have a question about the node i should use in a specific situation.

i want to send a value from video, using the node filestream, to several effects and then send several values, from diferent effects, to the node videoout.

i need two nodes that would do basicly the same but the inverse way.

one to send values from video out, from filestream, to many effects video input.
and second to send video outputs from many effects to videoOut node.

i would be happy to just find the answer for the first question, because video out from filestream node only accepts one connection.

so, i can not connect as many effects to it as i wish without having to unplug them. wich is not confortable for live performance

i want a specific node. something like a multiplexer, grouping, join, route, gate thing for video in vvvv.

can anyone help?
thanks a lot!

hey dimi, welcome :)

You want to use
VideoTexture (EX9.Texture VMR9.

to turn your video in to a texture.

You can then mix different effects with a group node and output them to a Renderer(EX9).

I think you might want this instead of a video out. If you are sure video out is what you are after, then asvideo is your node.

Attached Patch might help to clear things up

Renderer.v4p (9.4 kB)

thanks a lot friend!
video texture might be an option. i haven’t tought about it, still making some tests. the problem seems to be that the effects don’t connect to textures… by effect i mean a .dll freeframe plugin file.

i found another very simple thing that maybe will solve my problem.
if i connect the effects one to another for like 20 effects, and then connect the final one to video out, i can control them all by just enabling or desabling them.

:)

keep in touch,
thanks again!
