<p> How smooth is the movement when controlled by OSC?</p>

Still figuring that out: its inbuilt AI tracking is great. Seems to ease in and ease out of physical camera movements, but I'm still trying to get the OSC working well.

However, MSC was tested during preshow and worked and then 2 cues into the show it stopped working. This also happened during preshow and was fixed. I did notice that Isadora was still seeing a Midi event because the dot next to the midi label would flash when the light board cues were taken but Isadora would not change or go to the next cue. Turning Isadora on/off did not help, the only thing that did momentarily was restarting the computer until Isadora stopped taking MSC triggers again.

Have you performed these steps?

@dusx thanks, if i manage to recreate the bug, I'll post a ticket...its verry on and off ..

and now I did simplify my patch, so hopefully it will have desepeard!

Is everything supported on the M1 and M2 MacBook Pros now?

Answer: Yes

most importantly can you open new files?

Answer: I'm not sure what you mean, but you can open files made in Isadora 3.2.6 and also create new files using 3.2.6 if that's what you're asking.

As expected am getting much better performance with my M2 max MBP compared to my 2019 MBP. Load is around 50% when running 8x 1920x1080 HAP encoded videos simultaneously (with 1 out), with settings of target frame rate 30fps, general service 20x per frame and display refresh scaled.

My 2019 MBP would hit 100% load after running more than 6 simultaneous videos, so i previously used a target frame rate of 15fps

hi @nandada, i haven't hit any snags on my M2 MBP

Have borrowed a couple of monitors to play with 3 out and will report back results soon

The playhead indicator bar on the bottom remained green and does not advance to the next frame(s). This is different to when the player crashes altogether because the bar does not grey out.

I have upgraded to V3.2.6 and now using ProResLT and the issue has resolved itself I think. If it re-appears I will post on the thread.

Hi! I think that you need a special network cable to connect directly two computers, called a crossover cable.

I agree that the easy way is to put a router between the two computes and use a normal ethernet cable.

Best regards!

@lmtech

Make sure you have set Isadora to use the dedicated graphics card: 
Windows: Laptop Configuration of Integrated (Onboard) and Dedicated Graphics Cards for Isadora 2 and 3 : TroikaTronix

ALSO be sure you have updated your AMD driver to the lastest release. I have had a couple users this past month or two on AMD cards reporting this issue, and a driver update has been the primary fix.

@dusx Thanks ! I never noticed the gree dots (I am ashamed....)

@woland

not quite the same... but it's a useful approach. 

Hi Gina,

This sounds like an interesting interactive installation! For triggering Isadora cues from the Arduino magnetic sensor, here are a few thoughts:

Use the Arduino Firmata actor to receive the sensor data into Isadora. You'll need to initialize it and set the input pin accordingly.Then route that input to a Switch actor to control the scene changes. For example, set it to switch to Scene 2 when the input goes HIGH (door closed).You can use a Timer actor in each scene to transition back to Scene 1 after a set duration.For automatic start up, you may be able to use something like a Powershell script that launches Isadora on boot up. Just need to make sure it opens in fullscreen.For shutdown without mouse/keyboard, look into remote login software so you can SSH into the Mac and shut down calendar 2024 from another computer.

Definitely try testing the Arduino > Isadora communication first. Once you have that working reliably, the other automation should be very achievable. Let me know if you have any other questions! Excited to see how this project develops.

 Here's a slight improvement to your system (check the second Scene of this file: actors-keyboard-watcher-up-down-2023-09-11-3.2.6.izz)

 Whoops I attached the wrong file before. Here's the right one: actors-keyboard-watcher-up-down-v2-2023-09-11-3.2.6.izz

@woland You are welcome. I'm filing a support ticket on that

thanks Fred. sorry for the late response had a much needed vacation.

@dusx O.M.G! 

thank you

Hey thanks I see what you mean by the strange behaviour with the overlap. It would be nice in feature updated for this actor to be able to do any surface size. At the moment I have found that I can use two edge blend actors, change the value on the mask width and then use the offset value to align them properly. the values get down to the 0.00 but it seems to work for me.

@ariana said:

to adjust the size before it is sent to the alpha mask?

 Below I have used a Shapes actor in place of the Picture Player you will be using for a PNG file, but the rest should be similar to what you are doing. I have added a number of Get Video Size actors to show how the resolutions are being set, and combined (using default Isadora settings).
The Scaler actor is the actor used here to resize the image.

@jfg amazing! 

@dusx

User actor good call 

Ta thanks
