Author:	AndrewNorris
Device Type:	Instrument
Description:	The Slideshow device is intended for creating an automated, dynamic visual slideshow to accompany an Ableton DJ set or live performance. Now updated to v1.2. - MAC ONLY More info: https://andrewnorris.uk/slideshow/ Demo video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NoLRTZjjsDc Updates include: - Now much more CPU efficient. All graphics processing has moved from CPU to GPU. - ‘Manual / Auto’ switch. Set to ‘Auto’, this will override all manual zoom/pan settings or automation and will ’animate’ each slide with a kind of Ken Burns effect. With ‘Auto Crossfade’ also set to on, each time a new image is loaded a random point on the image will be selected. The displayed image will then smoothly zoom in and out from that set point. - ‘Intensity’ dial. This affects how quickly and how much the displayed image zooms in and out when ‘Move’ is enabled. - X/Y pads for each slide to control panning. - GUI redesign. - Zoom range changed. You can now zoom between 10% size and 300% size for each slide. - Fixed crashing problems when automating Slide selection dials. - Bound mode added for each slide. When zoom is below 100%, you can choose how the border around the image will be displayed: - Wrap: image is repeated inside the border. - Clip: border filled with the colours from the outer edges of the image. - Fold: image is repeated and mirrored inside the border. ---------------------- Other things I’ve made: https://andrewnorris.uk Buy me a coffee: https://ko-fi.com/andrewnorris

Hello Andrew, I've tried to change your device to be able to read video, but I'm so bad at Max that I can't even do this.
Do you think that this little implementation could see the light?
Or any advice on how to?
Thanks in advance

Hi eport,

You should still be able to drag and drop a folder of videos instead of a folder of images into the device and it'll work. I've tried it just now with a folder of .mov files.

The only problem is the video won't be playing and will only show a still image.

To fix this, open up the device in Max4Live and find the two jit.qt.movie objects.

In each one change the @autostart 0 attribute to @autostart 1.

Then freeze the device and save it.
