Global Video Settings
MIDI Channel
Select which MIDI channel (1-16) triggers video clips. Default is Channel 1. The dropdown excludes whichever channel is assigned to Lighting to prevent conflicts.
Video Mode (Beta)
Note: Video Mode is only visible when Beta Features are enabled in System Settings.
Choose between two playback modes:
Fast Trigger
Standard mode. Instant video switching on MIDI trigger. Supports up to 4K.
Effects
Enables real-time video manipulation via MIDI CC 48-55. Limited to 1080p 60fps.
Changing video mode requires confirmation -- a dialog warns that switching will immediately stop any currently playing video or lighting cue. See Effects Mode for details.
Playback Option
Controls what happens when a video clip reaches the end:
Loop
Video restarts from the beginning automatically (default)
Freeze
Video holds on the last frame

Default Video on Boot
Select which video plays automatically when the MVP starts up. Options include:

Edit Mode
Toggle EDIT MODE to enable configuration changes. When off, the page is read-only to prevent accidental edits during a live performance.
MIDI Assignment Grid
The main area contains 100 cards (MIDI notes 0-99):
Card 0 -- Blackout
Always present, labeled "VIDEO 00 - MIDI: C-2" with the description "Black Out Clip." Triggering Note 0 on the video channel sends the output to black. This card cannot be reassigned.
Cards 1-99
Each card shows:
Header: Video Number and MIDI Note (e.g., "VIDEO 01 - MIDI: C#-2"). Note names use standard MIDI naming: C, C#, D, D#, E, F, F#, G, G#, A, A#, B with octave = floor(note/12) - 2.
File selector: Autocomplete dropdown to assign a video file (only functional in Edit Mode)
Hint line: When assigned, shows
FileName - FileSize, clickable to show the Video DetailsCurrently playing indicator: Green pulse animation on the active clip's card
Clear button: Small X icon to unassign the video (Edit Mode only)

Upload Videos
Drag and drop video files onto the upload zone, or click to browse.

video/mp4, video/quicktime, video/x-matroska, video/webm
.jpg, .jpeg
image/jpeg
Still images (.jpg, .jpeg) are supported and display as persistent stills on screen.
Upload validation:
Filename characters: Only letters, numbers, dashes, underscores, dots, and spaces are allowed. Files with other characters are rejected with an alert.
Duplicate detection: If an uploaded file's basename (extension stripped, case-insensitive) matches any existing video file, the upload is blocked. A dialog shows "File Already Exists" with the conflicting filename and instructions to delete the existing file or rename the new file first. There is no overwrite option.
Upload progress is shown in the Upload Queue Widget in the bottom-right corner.

Tips
Edit Mode is your safety net: Leave it off during shows to prevent accidental changes.
Sync after editing: Don't forget to click "Sync Changes to Playback" -- changes aren't active until synced.
Still images: Upload .jpg files and assign them just like videos. They display as persistent stills on screen.
Effects mode is 1080p only: If you enable Effects Mode, videos above 1080p will not play properly. Use Fast Trigger mode for 4K content.
