Viper - streamers plugin

[Adam Venn]

Hi there,

Apologies for the commercial post, but there was a problem posting in the 'partner' forum.

I made a plugin for generating wipes/streamers for ADR/Foley recording. If you want to trigger on screen wipes with midi notes in your DAW, please do try it out at https://www.vennaudio.com/product/Viper

I hope it helps some people out. If you're just starting out or you need a basic, minimal solution, this might be for you. Or if you use Windows/Linux and don't have as many options. If you do try it and have some feedback on the plugin, I would love to hear it.

Thanks!

Very nice, thank you! Could you add an auto-cue option so that you don't have to prepare midi cues at all? So that when you set an X-second preroll in PT and in your plugin it will auto-backtime and fire the streamer whenever one hits play/record? This would be essential for Foley sessions where your cues constantly change. Saves a ton of time manually setting up these midi events.
Can probably be worked around by creating a one note event that's as long as the entire reel so it's simply always triggered. At least that's ow I did it with the good old Streamers stand alone app.

Many thanks!

This is great, thank you! I'll gladly support you. Would love to be able to make suggestions if needed in the future, too.

I'm really keen to try this out Adam. I noticed its not a win installer as such, is there a guide to where the unzipped files need to go for aax support.

[Adam Venn]

Hi @BobbyDazzler,

There is indeed a guide! There is a readme.html which says that the Windows AAX should go into c:/Program Files/Common Files/Avid/Audio/Plug-Ins/

But if you have an older version of Pro Tools, you can check here:

Thanks!

Hi @Frank Kruse,

Thanks for the feature suggestion. I expect your workaround will work - Viper was supposed to function in a similar way to Streamers.

'Backtiming' from midi events is difficult with plugins, since they receive the midi information from the DAW and cannot predict what is coming. I will look into what midi information is provided by the DAW - I expect it would be possible to trigger the wipe as soon as you hit play but not to figure out how long your pre-roll is.

Thanks again, I'll post if I find out any more!

Hi Adam

Some great thinking there, I love the freely drag-able midi event concept.
If you are shooting ADR though you are often using referenced video hardware (AJA or BM) and a sync HD so that your video playback is 100% accurate.
If your software could talk to external video hardware (as a an Avid Video Engine plugin?) it could be very groovy.

Just a thought..
