sandman123 Posted October 12, 2019 Share Posted October 12, 2019 I want to change the hue of a video with the tempo of a song. Currently, I split video clips up so that their duration is a multiple of the duration of a musical "measure", and then I make a template with hue such that transitions in hue occur at the beat of the song. Then I save it as a template. Every song has a different tempo though... Using the GUI is really tedious and repetitive. I would like to make a simple CSV file (with google sheets or excel) with time, parameter, and value columns. Perhaps there's a good way to manipulate the "curve handles" with the CSV too, but I won't ask for that much. Obviously, importing CSVs could be useful for several video effects' parameters, but the most useful for me would be "Motion" and "Hue." I don't want to sound naive, but this can be achieved pretty easily, right? I'd gladly pay a reasonable fee to upgrade to get these features.

sandman123 Posted October 12, 2019 Author Share Posted October 12, 2019 I just realized that effects templates scale with time, so If I make clips in varying durations, then one effect template for one tempo will work for another tempo. I still stand by my original thought of the utility of a CSV importer for various parameters. You can easily manipulate data in google sheets or excel whereas you have to click and drag for individual keyframes with the GUI. I know it was a lot of work to get the GUI to work how it does, but it can get tiresome if you want to produce videos like a well-oiled machine.

sandman123 Posted October 18, 2019 Author Share Posted October 18, 2019 Hello again, Thank you for entering the suggestions in for me. I do urgently need this feature, though! So, I want to know exactly what I need to do to get this feature as fast as possible. Would purchasing a support contract expedite the process? I last purchased a license under v6.00. I'll gladly buy both a support contract and a license to the next version to get these features! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
borate Posted October 18, 2019 Share Posted October 18, 2019 Purchasing a contract or license likely won't help. Your best bet is to use the suggestion form linked above. The developers do see those submissions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
