Dear Mark,

Thank you very much for such an informative and clear response.

I'm just starting to get to grips with vast array of actors CI has to offer.

Cheerio

Very nice to hear. Thank you! ;-)

Yes actually I have bought it in second hand and I have not seen it working before. But I will try it firstly with NiMate and than I will try with another Kinect to see where is the problem.

Thank you very much I really appreciate the help Ilir

Yes, building my own has crossed my mind. 
A GoPro would be fine, but the Hero3 underwater housing with HDMI output sems hard to find on the internet.  Seems everywhere it's discontinued :(
As far as depth, the pool is only 4ft. and I'll be about (max.) 20 feet away. A wireless option COULD work also.  For instance, installing EpocCam software and having a router to create a local network and put my phone (gasp!) in a drycase and anchoring it underwater.  This is my least favorite option as I like my phone (and can't afford another one).
For context: I'm part of a festival that has agreed to purchase a camera setup for me.  They are running on a tight budget, so I'm looking on the least expensive side.

Cool :)

I was just posting to say I still don't understand how to do this but I think I've got it now.

You have to click the 'show source' icon which sometimes becomes the 'show rich text' icon?

I'm just going to try it now

If that's alright with you guys

Hi,

As mentioned in the title, I cant find a similar effect like motion blur, for CI or Texture/FFGL. If I run a simple Picture player trough the normal Motion Blur in the video mode, my frames get low. No problems with really heavy FFGL effects processing via texture picture player.

@chimerik

the tutorial on Javascript for Isadora might be worth a read.

For Quartz Composer ninjas here's a nice tutorial how to setup GLSL shaders in QC,

Hello, has anybody tried Yosemite with matrox dual analog? (works with 10.8.5)

Sounds great!

Thanks @dbini for coming to spend time with us, and for insightful comments after the show. Was really good to link up in person with someone from this community...

Take care m

Cheers John,

Thats very useful info! I will look into NImate right now.  We are not looking for a perfect mask (if anything i will add more gaussian blur to the incoming syphon) so it does feel like this could be the perfect solution. Thanks for your valuable input! Henri

You can replicate it by using lines to get the cross hair (yellow) and using a red box - both done vida the shapes actor.

You need to scale all the vales but i've done it before.

Can i use the TCP send data actor to send a wake on lan to another computer ? and if yes how 

Right, actually, sorry for the extra question here. I've done the test myself and external USB 3.0 runs much more smoothly. No problem. Thank you Michel!

I made my test with a HD Camera connected in HDMI to a Blackmagic Studio, setting are 1920x1080, 25fps, best quality, the background is a Prores 1920x1080 25fps movie. The subject ( myself ;-) ) was on an very approximative green screen ( in terms of light and regularity). In that very basic conditions, the result was surprisingly good... So I am impatient to test in better conditions.
But it is still less impressive than what Resolume 4 is able to do with the same sources : much better soften edge, acurate color setting, little less latency...
It seems this FFGL has been writen almost 5 years ago. May be there is today some way to "refresh" the code? If only the feather function was efficient... No little genius around to have a look inside the code? :-)

Worked perfectly for my needs! Thanks again.

For anyone curious, I'm working with a Rocky Horror shadowcast and we are doing a version of the famous scene in Spaceballs where they pull up the video of Spaceballs within the movie. So we are filming the preshows and capturing the file to disk while that is happening. Then when we get to the Spaceballs scene we play back the video at high speed and eventually cut over to a live feed projecting on the screen. We've done it for 15+ years but used to film a dress rehearsal so the file with fast forwarding was all pre-rendered. Last year we used Izzy for it for the first time but there was much less video to scrub through so 10x was a fine speed. This year the scene is much later so we have more video to scrub and the envelope generator worked perfectly.

@Mark
sorry just saw your comment,
yes that's right!

all the best
