@bonemap Thank you! (I got it to work that way)

Nevermind. I figured it out. Bottom of the page. I'm an impatient fellow.

@dusx the actor input calls for the Absolute Path to be used (AHK Script Absolute Path). I did not design support for relative paths, so I invite the user to submit the feature request for me to implement that, but that is currently not scoped for the actor. Perhaps Windows 11 updates the OS path handler to implicitly allow this.

@woland thank you, saves me the trouble trying. :) love Isadora and what it makes possible!

@talyarden

There are a couple of options available to you. First, the default is set up on the top of the Stage setup window, while each stage can have specific settings entered if needed.

In RED below:
The stage tab (not selected in the image: DISP 1) has a Preview setting that is in this case set to Use Default, this leads this Preview to use the settings at the top (boxed in Red), If the Preview setting is set for this tab to another value it will use the specific settings (as we will see with the Green).

In GREEN below:
An additional Preview window is activated (this is Disabled by default). As you can see this preview will show the output after the keystoning is applied. In this case, it is scaled to 10% of the full stage size. 

Options like Force On allow specific Previews to be always active.

Perhaps it is a feature request for the Color control module to have a swatch facility for feedback. It would be awesome if it could have assignable and selectable swatches too. Or perhaps a new control panel with assignable / selectable swatches in addition to a feedback swatch associated with the existing Color control.

 That would be a great add-on Russell!

@woland & @Reinhard 

thanks for quick replies! and (duh) i had forgot the other intensity controls inside the projector once the mapping is used. 

I will experiment with incorporating the different slices in the same projector, but it gets a bit fiddly, so I had made separate mapped projectors to keep it simple. However, this is good stuff. Many thanks...

Thanks @dusx for un-perplexing me

as soon as i connected the Envelope Generator's output to a Selector it worked fine

rgds, Mr J

This is my take on it ;)

@jfg

Well I'm completely stumped because I don't ever really work with 3rd party AU plugins.

@mark Any ideas about this?

@woland

Yes, we know the track listing ahead of time.

And after reading your post I had a 'doh!' moment. (Imagine me slapping my forehead!). I realise we're both overthinking this: I can simply use the Blackmagic Media Express software to capture the phone's audio and video and play that movie back in Isadora. Might re-encode it first to save on file size, though! Easy peasy! Thank you, Lucas!

@woland 

of course you can. if anyone finds a need for , most welcome. i will add  some sound to it and also send you. once again so much thank for your help!!!

best

@woland Thank you, I though MA wasn't taking Midi show control, I'll try that way!

@woland

first of all, thank you very much. 

I applied the 3rd example and it worked. I had to tweak a few values but it works perfectly.

The project, which is part of my practice-based PhD, is an art installation.

I walked from England to Italy last summer, and I want the visitor to the installation to experience part of my walk.

When they enter the space, they are presented with a walking machine (along with other things). 

When they start walking the video, recorded with a 360 camera, of my walk is activated and when they stop the video carries on without showing, and you can just hear the sound. 

It is a way for me to create a sort of reward, where if they walk they can see what is happening.

I was really stressing out, and you guys here are so knowledgeable and really helped. 

And if you are ok, I will mention all of you in this topic and the troikatronix community, in the acknowledgement of my final thesis.

Really thank you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Dear all,
Oh my, you are the best:) Thank you so much! I will try this out:)
All the best

Hi.

Sound very similar to a project I was part of a while ago in Helsinki called Reveal in 2012/13 [https://vjskulpture.wordpress....]

The touching part is also possible! Drop me a DM!

@dusx when I got the results above I literally just had a video in actor hooked up to a projector and the RTMP actor, and the whole thing choked itself down to about 12fps.

I don't remember what the project resolution was, so I'll do some optimisation experiments over the weekend.

Thanks for your help

how can I have a trigger automatically sent on startup to connect to the dLive system when the patch is opened?

The Enter Scene Trigger actor can be used to trigger things upon entering a Scene, so put one in the first Scene connected to whatever it is you want to trigger immediately when the file is opened.

Thanks @Woland for explaining the differences illustrated in your attached video

I should have been more specific with my question. If input a constant stream of changing numeric values into a Smoother and a Multi Blocker with the Smoother's smooth setting set to 0, the output of both will be the same as i increase/decrease their corresponding frequency/time inputs - right?

@oscar

No, it's not currently possible.

But I made this feature request some time ago:

https://community.troikatronix...

Perhaps time to bump it up :-)

In the meantime, I have found that setting the movie player to view timecode, and using the timecode comparator actor (IME set to ge (equal than or greater to)) works well.

Yes, it's a long way 'round.

HTH
