Teenage Engineering OP-Z App | OP-Z Screen, Photomatic & Motion

Hey thanks for the video. How do you capture live videos as pictures as you did in the video??

[@soundtechnology]

The 'live video' is actually just a screen recording of the camera feed being used for Photomatic on the OP-Z app. We had it pointed at our mixing console to capture stills. Holding the 'screen' button on the OP-Z while in Photomatic activates the camera. Keep holding it and press the OP-Z keyboard keys to capture images. Images are saved to each key you press, so you can capture 24 total (per roll). Hope this helps!

@@soundtechnology this is incredibly helpful! Will allow me to get pictures assigned the keys much much much faster. Thank you 🙏🏾

Does all of this also play nice with the OP-1?

[@soundtechnology]

The app is only designed to work with OP-Z. I imagine there might be ways to get around this, although I don't know how that would work necessarily!

How can I export my photomatic session. Screen record leaves you with the gui showing.

[@soundtechnology]

If you're using an iOS device, you could use a lightning to HDMI adapter which outputs photomatic without the app interface. Then you'd need an HDMI capture card to record the output. I think that's currently the best solution.

I need them to allow to bulk transfer 24 images rather than having to put them in one by one. It takes soooooo long to do it that way

[@soundtechnology]

There is an alternative method to bulk transfer images into camera roll via iTunes: 1. Plug in your iOS Device and open iTunes 2. Select your iOS Device using the icon on the top left 3. Select 'File Sharing' from the settings side-panel 4. Select 'OP-Z' to bring up 'OP-Z Documents' 5. Copy the folder titled 'photomatic' from itunes to desktop 6. Open the 'photomatic' folder on the desktop and you should see folders numbered 1-10 which represent the camera rolls 7. Copy up to 24 images (jpg or png) into each numbered folder you want to use. (As an example the default 'hand' images are .png, 640x427. You can load higher res but I don't know if there's a limit...) 8. Open the cameraroll.json file in text edit (or something more advanced) 9. Populate the list of quotation marks with the file names of the images in the order you want them to appear eg. "image1.png" etc. Try not to change the rest of the layout. (if you want to see an example, open the .json from roll 1 with default images.) 10. Save the .json file (replacing the old one) 11. Copy the folder from the desktop back into OP-Z documents and choose to 'replace' it. 12. Once it's finished transferring, open the app, go to photomatic and your images should be there in order.

It's not the quickest solution, but I find it's easier to manage more camera rolls at once.
