move_warp_marker

[macduff]

Hi
I'm trying to use move_warp_marker from the Live Object Model, but without success. I'm doing this, for example, to move a warp marker at 2.1 (ie beat time = 4) by a distance of 1 beat:

var api=new LiveAPI(null,'live_set view highlighted_clip_slot clip')
api.call('move_warp_marker',[4,1])

I get an error in the max console
jsliveapi: Invalid arguments: 'move_warp_marker 4 1'

add_warp_marker works as expected. I've also tried using a dict instead of an array for the params.

Any ideas anyone?
Thanks

This needs to be checked, but I think warp_marker's position is defined as a ratio of the total clip's length, or something like that, even maybe in seconds:milliseconds. I never tried myself but I remember that it looked utterly complicated when I looked at it, especially regarding the time format used... but once again, don't take my words for granted, the LOM is the place to look at.

Hi [jur] thanks for the suggestion. I tried using values which are ratios, but no joy. I also tried using values returned by clip.warp_values, but these don't work either. Also, warp_values doesn't return a dict as the LOM docs say, but an array with a JSON string. Time to contact support I think...

This works for me:

function bang() {
var api = new LiveAPI('live_set view highlighted_clip_slot clip');
api.call('move_warp_marker', 0, 1);
}

But there needs to be a warp marker at beat 0, which is 1.1.1 in the timeline.

aha - thanks zsteinkamp - my mistake was putting the arguments to liveapi call method as an array, not separate values
