      @dstrohan

      The best solution is to make a video with transparent background and export it as Apple ProRes 4444 (with alpha channel) or HAP alpha

      example in FCP X:


      and then in Isadora set the projector "blend" to transparent:


      and here the result:


      and if you have the Text Video in another scene don't forget to set the "transition" in the activate scene actor to "above":


      Best regards, 

      Jean-François

      @engue

      I'm not entirely sure how to help here. Is there a specific question you have, or are you asking for advice on how to program the various elements of your project?

      If the original project was created in Isadora and you still have the file, it would be helpful if you could post the file and explain what you need to change and where in the patch we can look to see how you handled that particular part of your project. A description of each of the systems as you want to have them now would be extremely helpful as well (I got a bit confused about what your current goals are because of the included backstory about previous versions of your work). Overall it would be great to have more detail about what you already have working, what you'd like to change about your existing functions, what new functions you need, and/or what old functions you need to change (and how they need to change).

      Best wishes,

      Woland

      why it is so?

       I believe this is so because the video is mapped to the outside of the sphere, but is being viewed from within.

      Isadora now offers a powerful Subtitle player as an Addon.
      The srt-subtitle-player allows timecode to drive your srt file (subtitle file) reading.
      How you display the text is up to you.

      if you think I should make any adjustments?

       It looks like you have all the smoothers set to smoothing = 0.2
      That is rather low.  You might want to try 0.95 (this is a rather extreme smoothing) to see how that's, and then bring it down from there.

      Ok, glad you worked it out. 

      For anyone else looking for how to do this, this article can walk you through the process (you only need to replace the application it demos with Isadora). https://beebom.com/force-apps-...

      @kirsten

      I would personally do a combination of the two. So recordings that you already did / + maybe the video footage of the RGB Camera that the Kinect has so they can see the image / see the puppet or whatever you wish to with the Kinect data.


      And then a few scenes with live data! Either thru OSC / NDI / whatever works in your situation :)

      Although, if all you're trying to do is play a movie more slowly or more quickly, you can adjust the speed input of the Movie Player actor.

      If you can do the Freeze method with the IR feed from a depth camera like a Kinect then you don't need to worry about what the lighting state is.

       I hope I am reading between the lines and that there might be a way to do that in future, as I requested in my feature request seven years ago

      I wasn't trying to imply that we're currently working on it, just that it's on our radar as a feature that is often requested and would be very useful to add. I'd really like this feature to already exist or be in active development as well, but at the moment we've got our hands full with IzzyCast. (Though as a result of requiring a few new features for IzzyCast, we've added a number of handy updates to the Control Panel.)

      the animator was putting files for me in a shared Dropbox folder, and as he revised these he was simply overwriting the old version in Dropbox. Meanwhile the composer is sending me files via GoogleDrive, also overwriting old versions with new, and the script from which we were generating the captions was shared via iCloud. I can't copy and paste these from their various locations into the same folder as the Isadora file, else I won't get the updated assets. 

      You can ask your collaborators to not use three different platforms to provide you with files, e.g. create a shared Dropbox or Google Drive folder before the production and tell your collaborators that that's where the content needs to go. Additionally, putting everything in the same shared Dropbox or Google Drive folder means it's easier to port the show to a different computer since you could just download it. I've done just this for a number of productions and when I finish I desync the folder from my computer and the online folder becomes my archive for the show.

      @gertjanb

      if you do this, the top half of the image will look brighter than the lower half - its better to double the scrim all the way to the floor.
