Useful workflow trick using Producer for instant video fades

Just talk about kJams stuff with each other, describe things you did that worked, talk about your setup, anything that doesn't fit into the other forums!

Useful workflow trick using Producer for instant video fades

Post by DeusExMachina »

So you are near then end of the night, and there is a song that goes on FOREVER, with the singer just singing "Oh, uh uh oh."
Over and over again. After the 10th time, it is clear that even THEY are getting a little antsy.
Or perhaps they are really drunk, swinging the mic, and falling into your new LCD TV.

You can fade out the audio, but it is clear from the lyric screen that the song is not really over, so it looks bad.

Take advantage of kJams' built in video fader.
Make a ShowScreen with Producer with nothing on it but a black background, or make a variety with the splash screens of various companies (or to avoid Sound Choice's armada of trade mark lawyers, something that just LOOKS like one!)
Wait until a moment when the screen is about to refresh the lyrics, and trigger your ShowScreen, and simultaneously fade out the audio on your mixer. Viola, Instant video edit
