I tried to load one m2ts file, select all, copy, protect track, add video track, paste. Thus I made two video tracks from same media.
Then I tried to add BlendAlgebra with multiply program by dragging its icon from Resources window onto one of video tracks. It attached but complained it needs two tracks to process. I middle clicked on plugin bar and selected Change, and selected another video track as shared, then confirmed by clicking OK.
Complain disappear, but so are buttons to change parameters on plugin's bar! And I can't see any difference on playback ....
If a plugin needs more than one track to work on, then firstly you drag the plugin onto some of tracks, just as usually. Then you click with RMB on the other track(s), choose Attach effect. You get a big window, select there BlendAlgebra from the list of shared effects. The effect bar will appear under the second track, but without the button to edit parameters - because it is the single effect (although attached to several tracks). You edit its parameters by the button under that track where it was first dragged.
yes, thanks, this procedure worked! I was modifying master effect instead of attaching it to second video track!
How many tracks a blend function requires, is usually defined in its code (REQUIRE_TRACKS). CinGG checks if at least that number of tracks is available and does not execute the effect while playback if there are too few.
After you have attached the plugin, you can attach some algebra function from the plugin parameters dialog. Try to do so firstly step-by-step, as I do not know how this can go through the resources window.
For example, if you load some project with algebra into the resources, then it is a question in which directory it will search algebra functions in the case they are defined with relative paths in the xml file. The function files cannot be copied automatically because only the plugin knows, they exist, CinGG binary cannot know this. If it is the case, functions have to be reattached from the place they actually are.
If there is some function defined in the plugin, but its source file is not found, then no function will be applied at this place, and playback will not be changed. Will be some message printed in the CinGG console if there is no function file, I don't remember.
