While TouchDesigner is a real-time engine, there are tons of use cases where you might want to output video files from your TouchDesigner project.

I know we've been hush-hush about our "secret projects" and we said there was something big coming soon.

TouchDesigner is a unique platform because there are so many ways to do any one thing. Not only that but there are tons of tricks-of-the-trade that developers learn along the way.

User interfaces can be difficult to build. Control panels and extra monitors connected to your computer can drag down your installation performance. Clients can also be incredibly demanding when it comes to how they operate an installation.

In this video, Elburz demonstrates the correct ways to load assets into a project, regardless of their size or resolution, without dropping a single frame. This is done by using some basic Python commands that even someone with no programming background could catch onto.

Python in TouchDesigner is a very powerful tool but one that can also be difficult to approach and can introduce performance issues in larger projects. One of our community members asked for tips on this tricky subject overall, when to use Python, and when to avoid it.

In this video, Elburz provides the tools you need to choose the right projector for your project, on a budget you can afford. When looking at projectors for projection mapping, there are a TON of specs to consider, and it can often feel like the "good" projectors are out of your price range.

Working with multiple developers and designers on a single TouchDesigner project can be tricky. Nevertheless, collaboration is a critical component of every TouchDesigner pro's toolkit. That's why we made this video.
