Hello Troikatronix,

I use the 2D slider to move and record the position of my moving lights. Right now I use the limit/scale value actor to move the lights proportionally to my studio, but because I use "show value of linked properties" the value coming back from the 'record file' does not reflect the actual position of the moving light. 

I'm wondering if there is a 2D slider that allows you to input a separate min/max for the X and Y. This would be very helpful.

@wolandI saw that  Thanks. And I'll test them with the next mocap system we are buying, " The Captury" so I can also do a comparative test

The Captury" " markerless with hands an facial expression and multiuser. Plus it streams OSC NATIVELY!!!!

The little scene name buttons at the bottom of the page are all grey, and turn blue when active, pale blue when active in the background and red when using blind mode. But would it be useful to be able to change the default state colour independently? kind of like the new coloured actor titles, you could create groups of scenes just by changing the button colour. I guess the palette might need to be restricted so it doesn't interfere with the functional colour changes, but a right click - simple palette selector (a bit like the slots in Ableton) might be useful. Even a choice of 4 different greys would be nice. What do you think? 

 I'll add this to the existing feature request.

audio stream to be made available from the movie player

 *Currently this is not possible.  

Big things are coming on the audio side though. We are hard at work :)

@dillthekraut

This is an interesting Idea, and something we will discuss. (being added to our FR database :)

As a note, what I do is save my files with Version numbers file_v#.mov for example, in my media folder, the file named file.mov is replaced by a copy of any new media I make. This allows me to update my file without relinking each file manually, while maintaining an archive of versions. Down-side of this approach is I need to have 2 copies of the latest version at any time. I do find renaming a copy much faster than using the relink UI interface though.

@dillthekraut

I would also love to be able to specify different bins for the Player actors. Currently, you can create any number of Picture bins to arrange your media in, but, as far as i know, you can only access one of them with the Picture Player.

@dusx

Thanks a lot

Best regards,

needing to change all the numbers in the addresses manually.

 Yes, this has been driving me nuts as well.

@dbini

Is this not the same as the lock feature? When I choose this, I get the exact same options.

The issue is, if I activate the option "User can save changes", the only difference is, that one could save the patch to a backup file, but not to the original.
Second; In non of the options the scene editing is available.
Or am I wrong here?

@DusX 
I'm working for a big city theatre, where the main system is a bigger media server (pixera). But for smaller productions on the little stages and the rehearsal rooms, we need a system, which isn't to complex. As we are a small team for video and can not be there all the time for all rehearsals and productions, we like to give the prepared hard and software to the production team. But they often doesn't have any technical background beyond playing a youtube video or maybe using VLC. Therefore it needs to be as noob proof as possible. But then sometimes there are more complex productions, with multiple outputs and often live cam inputs, etc.
This is where Isadora could come in handy. We would build a basic patch with a specific GUI for the production, limited to the settings they need. To avoid irritations and braking things, it would help to deactivate all parts, which could lead to issues.

At the moment as far as I could try it, these are the available options:

1. No option activated at all:
Controls can change values
No actors view/ control edit
No adding of new Scenes
Media library locked
No save option at all

2. "User can edit controls"

Controls can change values
Controls can be edited
Actor view is available and actors can be manipulated (Which is not obvious reading the options text)
No adding of new Scenes
Media library locked
No save option at all (still)

3. "User can edit media"

Controls can change values
No actors view/ control edit
No adding of new Scenes
Media library UNlocked
No save option at all (still)

4. "User can save changes"

This works as an addition to the other options and gives "Save Backup" option. But not saving to the same project.
But still no Scene adding/editing (Maybe with an option to lock the first X scenes to keep them save)

Actually I am wondering why there is no Scene editing available at all...

What I'd need:

Controls can change values
No actors view/ control edit
Adding/ editing Scenes with an option to lock the first X scenes to keep them save
Media library UNlocked
Save to the same project
