Now that Izzy3 recommends not to use default size when processing video, what method do you use to consolidate different res video sources?For example - taking a video feed from Kinect could be 640x480, combining with a webcam at 1280x720 and the output could be to a 1280x800 projector.Which method do you use for making sure everything fits together with minimum distortion and minimum drain on resources?cheers,John

hello all.why is there no standart firmata actor in isadora? it would be graet to do things more efficiente, inside izzy. so ableton has this suppi dubbie m4l patch inside which is possible to give you all possibilitys of the most microcontrollers i/o stuff. conection kit! and it is not understandable for us, that in izzy you have to learn programm a arduino bevor you can use its i/o possibilitys. and a sound soft like ableton do it in a side way, without any need to get a programmer and lose time for art of video. thx. bj

Do a quick double check with black magic software on the computer to see the exact frame rate its outputting. I was only seeing black until I selected the exact output in the Blackmagic device side of live input. (for example mine was 3840x2160 with 29.97 fps) it would show black if is was any other setting. or if it was using windows live capture.

One other strange behavior of Rebuild Media from Folder -In a project where a media bin has been added, contains files, and has its disclosure triangle open so that the files are showing (call this Bin A), if you right click and choose rebuild media from folder to add another bin (call this Bin B), there is a strange behavior with the UI:  If you collapse Bin A, Bin B collapses with it. Also, if you attempt to drag Bin A below Bin B in the list, Isadora encounters a fatal error.

Hi, I am working with file names that begin with numbers, all padded to be the same number of digits.  If I use Import Media Into Bin, and select a group of such files, they come into the bin in alphabetical (thus, numeric) order.  This used to be how Rebuild Media From Folder worked as well, but now it seems that Rebuild Media from Folder brings the files into the bin in some kind of mixed up order, requiring them to be re-ordered manually.  A bug?

@jbbarriereI would suggest looking thru Shadertoy.com for a glsl effect/s.The site has thousands if effects that can be used with Isadora. I know I have seen at least a few blurs available.

@camilajaime@CitizenJoe 's advice is the same as I would give. Most importantly, switch to HAP if you have a fast SSD drive on your notebook. (HAP files are big; for them to work well, you need a good SSD.) Without knowing what codec is inside those Coolpix P600 and how they are compressed, re-encoding becomes more important.That said, unless you have a really slow/older machine, 1080p should not be a problem. We have tested extensively with HD and have also had success with 4K files.But if this problem persists for you, and if you can see this problem when simply fading (for example) from Scene A with a single 1080p movie to Scene B with a sceond, single 1080p movie, then I would suggest it's time to open a ticket and provide our team with a) your patch, and b) those two pieces of media that demonstrate the problem. Giving us concrete materials like that is generally the fastest way to find out why you are having trouble and to come to a solution.Again, the URL for opening a ticket with tech support is https://support.troikatronix.c...Best Wishes,Mark

@rodgy_fr and @bssd72  Any news for NDI input release ? It would have very helpfull for me next week :-( My attention has been focused on Kinect/Depth tracking actor. If you want this and are not part of the beta program, then open a ticket and ask to join the beta program. I will be posting a beta of the NDI input plugin to the beta tester only thread in the next day or two.Best Wishes,Mark

Hi, i know there is multichannel audio output available using parameters in the MovePlayer and SoundPlayer on the Mac and I have these working beautifully with the Focusrite pre 8 I am using. But is there any way to specify audio channels for sound manipulated/generated within Isadora on the Mac platform? I have looked at numerous audio device output actors but can not find a parameter for multichannel selection. Best wishes Russell
