Image Process
This process displays an image in a viewport. Multiple image processes can display their images by outputting in a single port.
Creating the process
The process can be created simply by dropping an image or a set of images on the score, or on an interval.
If multiple images are dropped, it will be possible to switch through those with the Index control.
If those images are GIFs, then the index allows to sift through the gif’s frames.
Image decoding uses the formats provided by the installed Qt image readers. PNG, JPEG, GIF and other formats available in the build can be imported; do not assume that every installation includes HEIC, JPEG 2000 or other optional readers.
Controls and output
- Index selects an image or decoded animation frame; automate it to build a slideshow or frame-stepped animation.
- Images edits the list of source files.
- Opacity, Position, Scale X and Scale Y control placement and visibility.
- Tile selects Single, Clamp, Tile or Mirror sampling outside the image.
- Scale selects Original, Black bars, Fill or Stretch sizing.
- Texture Out connects to another texture process or a Window device.
An image list is not a timed video stream: use Index automation to choose its timing. For codec-based playback or FFmpeg image sequences, see Video and Video formats and color.
Example
Here is an example of a simple score which loops over a set of images and applies a visual effect to the output, useful for VJ purposes:
