This video tutorial helped me figure out finally how to import my sequential frames. Thank you! However, it needs to be updated with more detail on that topic and using Looking Glass Studio instead of HoloPlay Studio.
I imported images 1-48 into LGS using Add Hologram. Each frame was imported as a separate jpg, that is, 48 separate imports. I then selected each one as a “LightField Set”. When I was done selecting the entire set, I clicked OK. Eventually, each one was exported to the playlist so I have 48 separate jpeg().mp4. See photo. Each one has the entire sequence. Next step, I deleted the first 47 to see if #48 (47 on the screen) had all the info. Maybe I don’t have to import every image? It’s a mystery at the moment. Definitely seemed to choke on the sheer volume of images when there were 48 separate instances. Now that all are gone except one instance, LGS is back to acting normally and not freezing up for extended periods. Another thing I noticed is that LGP will only show images from the LGS playlist when I click "Sync Playlist to Device" under the LGS File menu. As soon as I do that LGS crashes but then LGP shows images from the playlist when I reopen LGS. Toggle Debug View in Looking Glass Bridge taskbar icon very useful to make sure system is seeing LGP ok. Either that or close LGS and see if LGP image is still there when I reopen. Next step will be to try it only selecting 1st frame of sequence and see what happens. Then try it with 80 frames. I also discovered that focus still works but mp4 has to be paused or it won’t operate. Before I go down that rabbit hole, do you have any suggestions re best method to import LightField Sets? Thanks for any guidance.
I’m in the middle of a project right now and haven’t focused on LGP for two months - I see that this video helped me figure it out. I keep a journal & will see if I can find what I did. I haven’t done a quote yet.
Ok - I found an email where I described what I did. I'll see if I can "copy and paste" here and you can figure it out from there maybe :-). Import a sequence of frames originally shot sequentially (in a line or an arc) and with stereo overlap between each frame. They have to be in the same folder and numbered sequentially. With LGP & LGS open, go to Add Hologram>”Import holograms from your computer”, go to the folder with ONLY the frame sequence, select the first frame and click open. In LGS, make sure to have selected Lightfield Set and click OK. Voila.
