wrap interpolation_M into a type with

• a pad with enum to chose the type
• a pad with the interpolation_M
  create an editor that can modify the model pad

• Takes spread of Canvases / Sources

• (No UI / Patch only)

• Time settable in patch

• Behaves like group spectral

• Loop function after last source

Here I used record mode at a time where there already was a clip and a new one got generated.

This is useful, if we want to change Clips with the record feature.

I just noticed a bug: When I create a new compositor or timeline and select it, v4 crashes - IF the surrounding class or context has no update operation and the compositor isn't called. I can fix that for now, but should be looked into.

The goal is to being able to override the sampling position from within the Timeline UI, so you can preview animations in the leafs without controling the root node.

• being able to select a time range
• introduce the Last selected time pad, so that
• normal clic just set selected time position
• double clic also seek current time
• new clips get position and duration from time selection

Right now resetting the pin doesn't work without stopping and starting the patch.
Probably because the editor immediately overrides it again.

Would it somehow be possible for clips in a compositor to tell the compositor to wait / pause?
The usecase would be: A compositor cotains a clip, which uses a ToKairosSource, so it represents a patch implementing the ISampleValueT interface. Now in this patch, something has to be loaded or computed. Now it would be nice, if this clip could tell the compositor to wait or pause, until this is done.

when a LiveData clip gets deleted (and the pin disappears) the link disappears, instead of turning red and holding the information of the connection

Clips should ba able to inherit their length from children:
So if I create a clip (Foo) in a compositor (A) and connect another compositor (B) to it, the clip length of "Foo" is defined by the time between the start of the first and the last clip in compositor (B).

Clips should have the abillity to be be linked, so that their start and endposition changes dynamically, if one of them is shrinked or expanded.
So if one clip down in a nested timeline/compositor is changed, you don't have to manually change every single clip in the tree.

using a RectClip node after checkboard breaks it.
Inside checkboard:

• the WithinCommonSpace node is not needed.
• create a "Shader" output pin, to output directly the SkiaPaint pad from the cache region

The paths need also to be unescaped.
See the difference between recorded on top and manually added on bottom.

Ideally you could open editor of a clip, by middle clicking it.

GetProperties:

• allows to collect informations about the item we want to sample.
• we can pass PrepareTime, DisposeTime, ...

Active:

• can be called from the sampler
• extends the clip before and after:
  from InTime - PrepareTime (collected through GetProperties) to OutTime + DisposeTime
• the sampler call Active operation feeding and enum to describe the state of activation ("Before/Inside/After")
• active function has an integer input which is the activation count (which is stored in the clip_R of the sampler?)

the channel has IChannels as type?
IChannels<Channel<Name,Type,Value>>

Right now if we change the object, that is connected to the Binder, this causes Null-Pointer errors in Binder or Timeline.

Ideally theses errors would be catched and the Binder would output a warning, that the model has changed, or that the bound object doesn't correspond th the Timeline-Model. This is to avoid frequent crashes when patching.

Use object type instead of object name?
Not sure if it makes sense in every case. Doesn't really help if you have a bunch of similar types.
It's probably a UI issue.

the clock type must be somehow distributed upstream, maybe as part of the interface IChannel?

ctrl clips: quando si cancella non scompaiono le controlled

Use-Case:
We want to use the record mode to record some properties of different objects. At a later point we want to remove one of the objects. This will lead to a null-pointer.

The feature would be a routine, that can be manually triggered, which removes all clips and tracks of properties, who's references are missing.

To do animations in a module implementing the IValueProvider Interface, we need the acutal length of the clip, to use the SamplePosition relatively. E.G. start animation one second before end.
