Use Texture Mixing to mix two media file outputs
on one object. With this option, you can crossfade
the texture (media file content) from one active
Graphic Object to the texture of another Graphic
Object. When the Texture Mixing option is
selected in the example to the right, the media
file output of Graphic Object 1 (minus applied
effects) is selected and mixed to Graphic Object 2
at an opacity of 50%.
Modifier 1: Selects the Source file for the texture
you want to pull. A DMX value = 1 selects the
media file content from Graphic Object 1, a value
= 2 selects from Graphic Object 2, and a value =
3 selects from Graphic Object 3.
Modifier 2: Selects the effect level you want to
use for the source file. A DMX value = 0 selects
the original file without effects. If effects have
been applied to the image, A DMX value = 1
includes the first applied effect; DMX = 2 includes
the first two effects and DMX = 3 includes the
first three effects.
Modifier 3: Adjusts Graphic Object opacity of the
source texture from a DMX value of 0 =
transparent to 255 (100%) = fully opaque.
TIP: Use the following steps create a modified
Trails effect with the Texture Mixing option:
1. Select two Graphic Objects. The second
object can be a solid black screen (Media
Folder 1, Media File 1)
2. Use Modifier 1 to select the Graphic Object
you want to display with a trail effect.
3. Set Modifier 2 to a DMX Value = 2
4. Set Modifier 3 in a range between a DMX
value of 240-254. The closer to 254, the
more exaggerated the trail effect appears.
If Modifier 3 is set to 255, the output will
appear to stall or freeze on an image.
