I would love to see a few more offset options in EOS:
Offset Random AFTER Grouping:
(I know this can be done in two steps by recording the grouping first and then applying a random offset to the recorded group, but it would be great if it was one step)
Ex: Ch 1-25 [offset][number of groups][5][random] makes 5 groups of random numbers. I would love if it could make the groups and then randomize them so I would get (6-10)(1-5)(16-20)(11-15)(21-25) instead of (1 7 5 12 6)(2 21 19 17 8)(3 4 9 13 20) etc...
Offset Random WITHIN Grouping:
Ex: Ch 1- 25 [offset][number of groups][5][random WITHIN grouping] would create 5 subgroups in order and then randomize the numbers within the subgroups so youd en up with (1 3 5 4 2)(6 9 7 10 8)(15 11 12 13 14) etc...
Remove Subgroups AFTER using offset:
It would be great if EOS had the option to retain whatever order was created by offset but simply remove the parentheses afterwards, so that I could use the offset tool to create an effect without the channels changing together within the subgroup.
Ex: Ch 1-25 [offset][number of groups][5][offset random AFTER grouping][remove subgroups] would create 5 groups in random order (6-10)(1-5)(21-25)(16-20)(11-15) and then make them into a regular selection order 6 thru 10 + 1 thru 5 + 21 thru 25 +16 thru 20 + 11 thru 15. This would be useful for creating an effect like the green falling ones and zeros in the matrix movies, or any sort of random waterfall looking effect. Obviously this could be done with pixel maps too, but its nice to always have more offset options.
Thanks for your time,
Greg
