I think two nice enhancements to the clip bank would be (1) when a clip ends instead of looping have it randomly start playing another clip and (2) manually select a sequence of clips to play consecutively as each one ends..............Would any of you programming gurus want to give that a shot?

sbdj is already on the case...

Well sort of, I've written a plugin that allows the clipbank video to be changed (either in sequence, or randomly) at a user configurable interval.

Lol don't make it only random! I use the clipbank to control ledwalls, so i prefer constant loops :)

Way to go SBDJ, Sounds like a definite step up.....but can an option be put in to just change to the next clip when the preceeding one has finished so we don't need to know how long each clip is to enter a number?
I am assuming it will be posted in the plug-in download section, and guess as to about when?

Unfortunately such an option would have to be implemented either in the clipbank plugin, or by writing a whole new clipbank plugin. I don't have the source, so would have to start from scratch - which would take some time ;)
Another thought, you could tell my randomizer exactly how long each clip is I suppose, but that would be a bit of a pain for the user...

will there be a seperate time value you can enter for each clip or is it one time value that all the clips will run at?
If each clip can be set to its own time value (and saved somehow) then it would be worth it to get the length of each clip, enter it and save it then each time you used that clip the value would already be there (like a default value for that clip)
A single value that all clips use would work with things like sheep skins and the promo only ambients as they are all pretty much the same length anyway and they are very short and looped to begin with so if they got cut short or lengthened because of the time value it would not matter; but for movie clips and other background scenes the length is different for each one and with a single value entry the scenes would either be cut short or there would be blank spaces between them.....

Well I can create a GUI that would allow you to specify a default timer, along with individual timers for each clip as well (so you can specify either a specific timer, or to use the default on a clip-by-clip basis). Obviously all this information could be saved/loaded to allow for different sets of clips.
Having been playing with rendering directshow onto a directx texture recently I was looking at creating a custom clipbank plugin with these extra features - unfortunately it's quite a big undertaking (much bigger than the randomizer) and I just don't have the time at present...
