Timeline per video/VST

General discussion about Gig Performer

I wish to use GP for playing along to videos via VidPlay VST.
Is there a way to use timeline actions for such a scenario, as per streaming audio player?

Thanks.

I just downloaded the trial version—looks pretty fun!
It looks like you can sync the play/stop of the video with the global playhead, so the Streaming Audio File Player actions should be able to work.

But I don’t want to convert video audio to mp3 for streaming audio player, just use VidPlay VST.
How can I make use of timeline actions for this?

(Haven’t yet committed to GP)

What sort of actions would you want to perform while playing along with the video?

5

and when?

Things like program change via midi cc; or tempo change…

Yes, you can set up actions to perform all of those things.

I sometimes just use the timeline of the Streaming Audio File Player to perform actions in GP and elsewhere. I have 5 and 10 minute silent mp3 files that I use for this purpose, so no actual music is playing from the file itself. It is just a placeholder so I can add markers and actions on a timeline.

Doesn’t matter if it’s silent - just don’t connect the outputs :slight_smile:

Of course. The silent mp3s just don’t give any visual waveform clutter.

Thanks for the ‘outside-the-box’ solution folks!
I’ll hunt down those mp3s !
