I only have a black screen !!!!!! What am I suppose to do.... I think it's my camera who's not set well.....PLease help...

Same as benoit1842 : the camera works, but only a blanck screen in live. How do you configure Motionmod ?

Posted on June 06 2010 by selene (report)

hmmmm.... not sure about why you're getting a black screen. i'll have to have a dig. only suggestion right now is to jump into your system preferences and make sure your desired camera is set as your default video device.

hi. looks great. but the only output signal available is 'device on' , would like to map it to a filter freq for example ... how can i do so?

hi! is there any possibility to use a video-clip (mov, avi, etc) instead of the wabcam as input? do somebody know a patch able to do that?

Posted on July 01 2010 by pryds (report)

dope but i have no idea how to use this? :(((((((( tutorial perhaps?

Posted on July 20 2010 by Sapience (report)

@xbuster17 just make sure you drop motion mod into your track after what ever you want to modulate. motion mod populates the list when it's loaded

@pryds that's certainly possible with a little tweaking. will put it on the to do list

@sapience i'll put a tutorial together for the next version. main thing to get going is a drop down list of video devices... short on time at the moment but it's on the to do list. maybe some one else would like to hack at it in the mean time?

If anyone isn't seeing any video signal, try adjust the threshold while providing the camera with lots of movement. otherwise check your OS video settings, motion mod should be drawn to the default video device.

No video here

on windows 7

microsoft vx 700

wasted money on a webcam just to use this

And a what do you mean by " motion mod should be drawn to the default video device."??I have to Drag the thing to my camera but where in live i don't know such Option?

very cool midi plugging~ thx for share

For the windows users who see only black, try changing jit.qt.grab for jit.dx.grab in the patch.
It worked for me.

Posted on January 28 2011 by sidora (report)

I have no options under "target parameter" regardless of target device. When I do get "target parameter" options they don't correspond with that device...looks like they're compressor settings? I'm confused.

nice crazy!

Posted on July 23 2011 by jamland (report)

Really like the concept of this device but suffering from blank screen syndrome and target parameters not being recognised(no drop down menue appearing).

Using win7 64 like others who are having issues with this patch however web cam works fine with VIZZable M4L video devices.

Posted on September 29 2011 by sham79 (report)

For those with black screen syndrome... I had the same thing. I realized I had Vizzable open in another track and even though it wasn't running, it was causing the video not to show in motion mod. Once I deleted those tracks with Vizzable, motion mod instantly came to life. So, make sure nothing else is utilizing the camera while running motion mod.

Posted on June 28 2012 by bnovak32 (report)

so I am a newbie to m4l. I downloaded MotionMod - didn't work :(
so I replaced jit.qt.grab for jit.dx.grab as per a comment above. Woot - got it cam working, and mapped to a vsti parameter.

But now when I go to the VSTi (sugarbytes turnado) that parameter is stuck at 100% and when I hove over it i get a message like "this parameter is locked as it is being edited by a max device".

Any ideas?

Posted on September 25 2012 by artoo (report)

Hey guys - got this to work, I have the output running to the freq on an auto filter - but its super choppy - like its at either 0 or 100, at a million fps. i've tried adjusting and going in a tweaking the parameters - but no luck. any suggestions? much appreciated.
