VP15 and Control Surfaces for VIDEO FX-ing?

Well, anybody doing this? Not SFX-ing, but using a manual Fader against a Latch Envelope.

Toodles,

Grazie

I use BCF200 which will work with Edius, Premiere and Audition as well

I use BCF200

Sure, but this is for Audio only? Yes?

Oh my eye! Well, this is a bit of a revelation:

In some combination of PF8 - still learning and experimenting - I have Video Track Levels, or Fade to Colour - being controlled by the PreSonus FaderPort 8 and Automation Envelopes being activated and acted upon and Points retained.

Presently it is either Audio or Video. And of course, I'm trying for both to be available simultaneously.

Still playing . . . . 😉

Thanks JL. No I hadn’t, but now I have. It looks in creating Macros. But how would this go with an External MIDI Controller such as the PreSonus FaderPort 8?

In the meantime you can download a trial at macrogenerator.net also a generic manual

Just launch vegas and then launch MacroGenerator

Thank you John.

I still don’t understand how this macro generator will link to the Control Surface via the MIDI Control of the PreSonus FaderPort 8? Is it obvious to you?

It wont maybe i mis understood what you want to achieve

I want to explore the possibilities of using an AUDIO MIDI Control Surface to do the same for VIDEO. For example, operating a Fader Control to make Latched Envelopes to a FX. Imagine that moving a Fader Slider and you could see making Contrast or Saturation or Liquid Looks or......

At the moment I’ve been able to Latch Levels to a Fader. I’ve also got the FaderPort 8 Scratch Strip automatically labelled as Vid1! I nearly fell off my chair.

As a side to this and not presonus 8 related, using keyboard mode this looks programmable to any software ??
