What I want to do is this. I have an animated charactor that I do a TV show with.
I use animated GIFs to make him talk, by having a still gif and then dropping an animated one into the timeline. It works great. I have the opportunity to do this show live with callers but dont have the means to get him on the screen.
I do have an idea. Since I use animated GIFS I have many differnt poses for my charactor ready to go, I want to drop them into the main timeline and use my midiman 2octave music keyboard to trigger the different poses on the fly while doing the voice for the charactor and interacting with the public.
I have the logistics of having the video card to do this. I just need to know how to set each video clip to trigger when i hit a certain key and loop then return to a default state of rest when the key is released.
I basically need to set it up like a sampler for images.
Any help would be appreciated...
Thanks
