having trouble opening any file sent into second inlet of pix_mix, even if its the same file that I successfully open when put in the first inlet. if anyone can spot an error that I cant see in the patch itself would be greatly appreciated

@polychromacollective [auto $0( is wrong, but that doesn't matter because it sends "auto 0" as $0 is meaningless (without value).
Maybe the reset sequence at the end of play is being interrupted by a new triggering of [oneshot]
You should probably reset [onshot] last after all the parameters are reset for [pix_film]...... so the [clear( message should be connected to the leftmost outlet of the [t b b b b]
Not sure why it works for the left inlet of [pix_mix]...... maybe something to do with the different [threshold~] settings.

Another thought before bedtime...... is your knob sending between 0 and 1?
If it is 0-127 you will be stuck with just the left inlet unless you turn it completely "off".

@whale-av

the parameters are set to 0 and 1 and I am testing by manually triggering the videos so it is not a problem with the threshold settings although I plan to adjust those anyways when I have the video playback and [pix_mix] working. both videos work through the left inlet so its not a problem with the video files, but for some reason neither video works through the right inlet.

@polychromacollective Is your knob range from 0 to 1?...... well, 1 - 0 would be better..... more logical.
If that is not the problem then maybe upload the patch (without the videos).
David.
Sorry... more questions....
Are the images the same size?

thats okay

no i realized the videos are different dimensions so i have to go into premiere and adjust them. that will hopefully fix the problem.

@polychromacollective Yes, that should solve the problem.....
