Power Up The Follow Actions!

why not this seems pretty cool

Great idea. (Would also make Live great for serial music.)

Some scriptability of clips would be great too (including random functions). Compose in non-real-time.

"Jump to" by click dragging to any clip would be nice.

also will be cool if you select Jump from "Clip 4" to "Clip 1"
and you move this clips to other set it should save jumping
so better use not names but Guid "85c77e25-da49-4b2b-a8a0-8c072e090059" or some thing like that.

Yes please!

bump time


I would also like to see a time variant added. Then there could be some time before the follow action is executed.

For example:
End + an empty field where a time can be entered:
End + 1 minute
End + 30 seconds
etc.

This time field could be represented as 00:00:00 for hours, minutes, seconds.


While there may be a work around, this would be so immediate & helpful. With this, & surround support, I wouldn't even have to look at my screen to do my work.

+1, I just got into Follow Actions and this one is a no-brainer

Especially the most basic request of having the next clip launch as soon as the previous one ends. Seems like that one could be implemented the easiest.


Thanks,

I want in on this.

bad that it cant be implemented in version 8
with akai apc this feature will be rocks. because you can automate allot of clips..

im going to + 1 on the stregnth of expanding follows in general. with an apc 40 follow side to side and such. crazy

As the initiator of this thread, it's nice to see so much interest in it, but sad to see no interest from Ableton. Obviously they assume that this can be done with warping - just add a warp marker at the very end of the clip, enter its time into the follow action field and you're set. While this indeed is a valid solution, we all know that warping takes a lot of CPU, especially when one uses the Complex mode. When one uses follow actions with many clips on a single track with effects, then this may cause a serious burden on the CPU, because Live cannot divide a single track's processing needs between CPU cores.

I still can't see why this one wasn't implemented in Live 8.

i don't think that follow action will take allot of cpu.

Because you probably read my posting too quickly or I did not express it correctly, Belkin!. What I mean is this:

Currently it is possible to do follow actions when clip ends only with Warping. You warp a clip, place a warp marker at the very end, enter that warp markers bar count to the follow action time and you're done. However, warping (in complex mode) takes a lot of CPU and if you have 20-30 warped clips on one track, that may take a lot of CPU, especially when you have effects running at the same time.

I hope it's clearer now.
