7. Select the second layer and switch the layer mode from Picture in Picture to Difference b/w. '''(F)'''

8. Select the third layer and switch the layer mode from Picture in Picture to Add. Before positioning, set the desired size using Scale. '''(G)'''

9. Associate a channel of the Spectrum Analyzer with Scale: '''(H)'''
:'''Shift + left-click → Spectrum Analyzer (one channel) → drag&drop → Scale'''
10. Choose the Base and Range settings in the Expression Editor. '''(I)'''
:Double-click on Scale to open the Expression Route.

This tutorial applies to all different OS and MXWendler versions.
<div class="noprint">
== Introduction==
</div>
Patches created with 'Create Patch' can now be played individually or consecutively. Capture options can be set individually for each patch:
<div class="noprint">
==Patches Playback Settings==
</div>
1. Go to the Set tab. '''(A)'''

2. Click on the image area of the patch, which will then magnify and open for editing. '''(B)'''

3. Open the pulldown menu for the patch, and select 'Flip'. '''(C)'''

4. Set the 'Fade In' time in milliseconds. '''(D)'''

''Tip: Patches can be played sequentially as in a playlist by using the ‘Play’ button at the bottom of the screen in the Set. Thereby, the other track is alternately activated and crossfaded.''

{{#mpdftags: pagebreak}}
<div class="noprint">

==Editing Patches==
</div>
An existing patch can be opened and edited in the Live Editor. When you open the Live Editor, all media used in the patch are initially shown in the order in which they were saved. These must first be separated.

1. Select the desired video and open the clip menu. '''(E)'''

2. Select the effect 'PP_ColourCorrect'. '''(F)'''

3. Associate the one channel of the Spectrum Analyzer with 'Gain'. '''(G)'''
:'''Shift + Left-Click → SPECTRUM ANALYZER (one channel) → Drag&Drop → GAIN'''
4. Select 'Create Patch', so that the changes are retrievable as a new patch. '''(H)'''

5. In the dialogue 'Replace or Create New Patch' confirm 'Replace'. '''(I)'''

''Tip: It is possible to load or change footage by dragging and dropping an item from Finder / Explorer directly onto the current clip.''

Tutorial Creating an I/O Event

2023-11-22T15:55:04Z

Fscolieri:

This tutorial applies to all different OS and MXWendler versions.
<div class="noprint">
== Introduction==
</div>
IO Events are basically connections between a message from an input device and a reaction of the software.<br>
The input device can be something common as a computer keyboard or for instance an OSC or Art-net control surface.

In this tutorial we are going to cover a very basic example: <br>
how to connect the space bar with the Playlist play button.
<div class="noprint">
==Steps==
</div>
Before starting, load some footage in Preload and build a simple one column Playlist with the clips you just loaded.

1. Go to: '''Menu - Settings - IO - DMX/MIDI/Keyboard Events''' and in the top left corner select Keyboard '''(A)'''<br>
2. Create a new event by clicking the ‘+’ button at the bottom of the events list and select the event '''(B)'''<br>
3. Click on the Learn button at the top left of the Event Setting area and hit the space bar '''(C)'''<br>
4. Open the ‘Receiver’ drop-down menu, search and select ‘/mxw/playlist/play’ '''(D)'''<br>
5. Leave the other fields as they are and confirm the created Event by clicking on ‘Apply’ and then Ok.<br>
6. The software will ask you if you want to use the changes you just programmed.<br>
7. Confirm with 'Yes'.

The event is created!

Tutorial Creating and Playing an RTF Text File

2023-10-19T15:43:11Z

Fscolieri:

This tutorial applies to all different OS and MXWendler versions.
<div class="noprint">
== Introduction==
</div>
In this tutorial, an internal text editor is used to compose and format
a text file, to play in MXWendler without the use of any external application.
==Opening the Rich Text Editor==
1. Open the Preload Preview by clicking on one of the preload boxes. '''(A)'''

2. Select 'New Richtext' in the media menu. '''(B)'''
:A Text Editor should be opening.
3. Create or paste and edit the desired text. '''(C)'''

4. When ready, click 'Apply' at the bottom of the text editor. '''(D)'''

5. The text is loaded and ready to be played. Close the Preload Preview and play the preload. <br />

The text is now in play in the Output Window and can be handled as any other media content on MXWendler. <br />
It can be edited in every moment by opening the Preload Preview and clicking on Edit Richtext. <br />
''Tip: A big text made with the RTF Editor requires better hardware resources.''
''A text that is bigger than 4k (Pixel width of text texture) will require a strong hardware.''<br>

::Keystone: standard mapping element, warps content.
::Keystone 3D: warps content, based on a 3D model.
::Softedge: a gradient element (black to transparent) for blending two projectors.

*Elements:
::Lock: the element is locked, can‘t be moved or modified.
::Object Mode: the element can be moved by drag&drop.
::Pivot Mode: the pivots are shown in the editor, they can be moved by drag&drop.
''Tip: these three modes can be activated also by double-clicking or right-clicking on the element.''
::Helpers: rasters, grids, white, black and transparent pictures in different resolutions to be used as a tool for mapping. Checking the Use Element UV box cuts the helper accordingly with the element UV.
::Content: a specific track or layer can be assigned as an element content source.
::Geometry: sets the properties of the element.
:::Rotation: rotates the whole element. A value of 9000 means 90 degrees of rotation.
:::Pivots: number of pivots per side of the element
:::Grade: a higher grade means higher tassellation, smoother curves but more resources needed.
Pivot: when a pivot is selected the element menu disappears and the pivot menu becomes available. Position, UV values and color of the selected pivot (or the shared values if more are selected) can be modified.<br>

Opacity: is the measure of how "Nontransparent" the layer is. The lower the Opacity the more transparent the layer will be. The standard value is 1. (full opacity) <br>

TranslationX: position of the layer on the X Axis. The standard value is 0. (Centered)<br>

TranslationY: position of the layer on the Y Axis. The standard value is 0. (Centered)<br>

Scale: size of the layer. The standard value is 100. (original size)<br>

ScaleXY: size of the layer inversely proportional for X and Y Axis. The standard value is 0.5. (X and Y have the same size)<br>

Rotation: rotation of the whole layer. It goes from 0 to 360. The standard value is 180. (original position)<br>

Reset: sets all the values to default.<br>

''Tip: single values can be reset to default with a double-click on the slider or can be typed with a double-click on the relative numeric value.''

::Please notice that when Softeges is activated every element of the grid will have a 10% (default) extra content in UV to allow the correct edge blending.
::By checking the Blacklevel box, blacklevel elements will be automatically added between the elements.
*Single Element: adds a new element.
::Keystone: standard mapping element, warps content.
::Keystone 3D: warps content, based on a 3D model.
::Softedge: a gradient element (black to transparent) for blending two projectors.
::Blacklevel: a dark element used to adjust the level of brightness around an overlap when no image is played.
::DMX Grabber: sends color values to DMX
::Art-Net Grabber: sends color values to Art-Net

Elements: select, activate and modify the keystone elements. '''(H)'''

*Editor Settings: select visible and editable elements in the editor and in output.
*Elements:
::Lock: the element is locked, can‘t be moved or modified.
::Object Mode: the element can be moved by drag&drop.
::Pivot Mode: the pivots are shown in the editor, they can be moved by drag&drop.
''Tip: these three modes can be activated also by double-clicking or right-clicking on the element.''
::Helpers: rasters, grids, white, black and transparent pictures in different resolutions to be used as a tool for mapping. Checking the Use Element UV box cuts the helper accordingly with the element UV.
::Content: a specific track or layer can be assigned as an element content source.
::Geometry: sets the properties of the element.
:::Rotation: rotates the whole element. A value of 9000 means 90 degrees of rotation.
:::Pivots: number of pivots per side of the element
:::Grade: a higher grade means higher tassellation, smoother curves but more resources needed.
Pivot: when a pivot is selected the element menu disappears and the pivot menu becomes available. Position, UV values and color of the selected pivot (or the shared values if more are selected) can be modified.<br>
