VFX Scripting For Everyone
A downloadable tool
Harness the power of VFX+Python!
This is a video tutorial + toolkit for creating your very own VFX scripts using FL Studio's VFX Script module. Complete with a de-bloated, custom default script as well as a more refined example to play with, this nearly-30-minute tutorial teaches you all sorts of practical concepts on the fly, including:
- Navigating and understanding he official API
- Creating forms for user input
- Generating GUI controls
- Updating on the fly with onTick()
- Timebase modification via PPQ & ticks
- Modifying note data from the UI
- Initializing and using multiple control signals
- Constructing, triggering and releasing voices
- Voice lifetime and reinitialization
- Modifying voice object variables
- Note and velocity manipulation
- Creating a makeshift debugger for custom values
- Visualizing signals with the formula controller
- And so much more!
Rather than dealing with theoreticals and endless textbook definitions and explanations, this tutorial shaves off the BS and shows you exactly how to get the right things moving (through real-life trial and error, as it often occurs in the real world) so that you can understand VFX scripting in a practical sense.
Plus, it's fun and easy once you get rolling :)
Warning: Python Required!
While I would've loved to include a Python tutorial along with this video tutorial, this is mostly aimed at people who either have some Python (or another language) experience, or those who don't mind figuring things out as they go. Object-oriented concepts are baked into the API, but I wouldn't rule out the potential for creating a separate tutorial series specifically for those who want to learn Python exclusively for scripting tasks like these.
