Please tell me difinitavely if It is possible to get this plugin to work as a composition in modul8
January 8th, 2010 at 10:06 am
I guess there is a chance it will work, but I needed to upgrade to Quartz 4.0, and now the plugin does not work at all. Any chance an update is in store?

Hi
The plugin doesn’t require Quartz Composer 4.0, but it will only work in 32-bit. In the Finder, select whatever application you want to use it in (eg Quartz Composer Editor), and check the “Run in 32-bit” checkbox in the File > Get Info panel. If the checkbox isn’t there, the application will run in 32-bit anyway. It should work fine in modul8, which is a 32-bit app.
I might get around to an update some day ;)

anyidea how I can get it working, no quartz patches with video input work, and yes I have the safe video input patch installed… Just curious if you would know how?.. If I can get it to open in quicktime Itll work in modul8

Just picked up on your plugins and am running DataMosh and Video Delay in 32 bit mode – really like the codec switching in the DataMosh. They mix up really nicely with v002′s Movie Player [32 bit] and also the Optical Flow patches. Sweet. Happy New Year to you and yours – any chance of a 64 bit build soon?

Just discovered the offline rendering mode :-) what about syncing this in with Quartz Crystal – or is that overkill or unnecessary ?

Thanks cybero
64-bit Datamosh is a fairly low priority. I think most people performing with it are probably doing so in 32-bit apps anyway, and the 64-bit version will not improve performance, but yes, it is on my list of things to do.
Offline mode for datamoshing should work fine in Quartz Crystal, plus give better results than Performance mode – that’s exactly the sort of use I implemented it for. Any specific problems, drop me an e-mail.
Cheers – T

Just a note to Timesquid and anyone else wanting to use this in modul8: limitations in modul8′s Quartz Composer support mean you can’t use datamosh (or any third-party QC plugin). I’ll look into an alternative solution for modul8 for the next version.

Hi,
Can you please say a few words on how the “Insert Key_Frames” and “Drop_Spare_key_frames” actually works?
March 19th, 2010 at 12:58 pm
Hi
A key frame is a frame with full image information, so inserting one will restore the output to the currently selected Video Frame Source. Insert Key Frame will insert a key frame for every frame it’s set to true, so connecting it to a keyboard or controller will restore the picture (unmosh it) if you tap it.
Drop Spare Key Frames will suppress key frames (except those inserted by Insert Key Frame) which the codec naturally inserts which would undo the datamosh effect. For uninterrupted datamoshing, you want to leave this set to true.

I’ve used it before and was working.
But now i can’t understand why it stopped.
