42 Python in Touchdesigner : "0 to Her0" :: Engine Based Mediaplayer

Hello everyone! In this tutorial, we’ll dive into the first step for creating our VJ setup. We’ll explore the moviefileinTOP operator in depth and how to build a media player optimized for live performance.

In addition, we’ll cover the different video codecs you can use. Each codec has its own strengths and weaknesses, especially when it comes to CPU usage. Many codecs rely heavily on CPU power, which can impact performance during demanding VJ sessions. To manage this, we’ll look at how to leverage multithreading engines, allowing us to spread the workload across multiple cores for smoother playback and reduced lag.
