Video as background eats CPU (obviously)

@hisefilo - you could try independently scaling the layers - the "disney" technique...

[hisefilo]

@Lindon LOL true. HISE becomes a 2D animation framework

@hisefilo Don't say it too loud or @ulrik will recreate The Jungle Book with ScriptPanels..

[hisefilo]

@Christoph-Hart LOL

[ulrik]

@Christoph-Hart Haha, just wait...

[hisefilo]

Silly question. Anyone knows how to do a function that ramps from zero to 1 value in "x" time (without a timer callback)?, then to return to zero in "x" time ? like an attack and release but not for audio but UI ?? (yes I am trying to move objects like in a timeline)

[d.healey]

@hisefilo What is going to be changing the value if not a timer?

[hisefilo]

@d-healey I was thinking in getSystemTime and parsing milliseconds. But maybe will use CPU as the timer callback

[d.healey]

@hisefilo getSystemTime is a function that will give you the current time, it's not a callback. Why not give up on your crazy dreams of putting videos in audio plugins :p

[hisefilo]

@d-healey never! LOL. I'm also thinking into a VR add-on to allow users to play VSTs in Metaverse

[d.healey]

@hisefilo I wouldn't back that horse.

[hisefilo]

@d-healey Yea I know. Is already dead.

[Christoph Hart]

@hisefilo I think you're using the wrong timer. There's the "synth" timer with the onTimer callback, but you can also use a Engine.createTimerObject(), or since you're most likely working on a Panel, use its timer callback.

[hisefilo]

@Christoph-Hart oh I forgot about the onTimer. Thanks!!
