Thamks! I knew it was obvious. Just couldn't see it yesterday. I did skim the getting started, but I missed the sentence "An array can be returned by the return statement to allow multiple outputs from the Javascript actor." I probably read it, but it didn't really register. Not enough sleep.

Additionally..

In Izzy 2 the default scene blending method has changed. The new default it to pre-flatten each scenes output and crossfade like a 'video mixer'. This allows cinematic style crossfades. If you wish to run Isadora using the previous method, which allows cross layering between scenes (but in an additive fashion), there is a new menu option under File, named 'Layering' The Grouped and Ungrouped options will allow you to change the method used by Isadora. Note, that the Ungrouped option was added for backwards compatibility, but also offers some additional artistic flexibility.

I received THESE cables I mentioned above and they work without any problems on a new Mac Pro. I first ordered 4 to test them and today I ordered 4 more.

Yeah... I could probably create an input that was a string and parse it as a csv for the list of "deleted" videos. I haven't done much scripting lately so it would probably be slower for me to create. But it should be more performant also.

Thank you @jhoepffner, it's exactly what I was trying to do !

Dear All,

Well, here's an attempt at doing this in Isadora. The mouse watcher is used as an input, but it could be any value that goes from 0 to 100. The User Actor looks at the current input. If the movie position is greater than the current input, it plays backwards until it gets there. If the current movie position is less than the current input value, it plays forward. To make it work better, if the distance between the current movie position and the input value is greater than 10, it sends the target value to the 'position' input to jump there. Don't know if this will achieve your goal exactly, but it does basically scrub to whatever position you use as an input. Best Wishes, Mark P.S. Used the Classic Movie Player instead of the 2.0 Movie PLayer because it's speed inputs are not limited to -2 to +2 -- which is a limitation of AVFoundation, but not for QuickTime.

Thanks @dbini for your quick reply to @lucslike.

Glad you have it sorted. Keep us posted :)

Hey !

I am new to the world of video mapping, but I can try to help :) I discovered a software called HeavyM (available on Mac & Windows) recently, it works really well and is very easy to use. The program is free on their page, but they're currently doing a Kickstarter campaign and I read they wish to add syphon and spout connectivity to the software. I'm not sure whether this might help you or not, but at least I tried :P

Dear @danieljackson,

@Maximortal is right. But to clarify what he said: Each slice in the mapper has parameters that can be "published" as an input to the projector. For example: 1) Add a new Movie Player and Projector. 2) Double click the Projector to create a new IzzyMap 3) You'll see there is a default "Rectangle" slice 4) Go to the output and resize this size, making it smaller 5) Right click the rectangle. From the menu choose "Publish Rectangle 1 : Offset X" Repeat this for "Offset Y." (As you can see, there are many other options, including the transparency, the rotation, etc.) 6) Close the Izzy Map editor 7) You'll see that the Projector has two new inputs: "Rectangle 1 : Offset X" and "Rectangle 1 : Offset Y." You can change these inputs to move the slice around horizontally and vertically. If you create a second slice, you can publish it's "Offset X" and "Offset Y" and move it independently. Maybe this allows you to do what you need to do. If not, let us know and we can help you further. Best Wishes, Mark

Hi Mark,

Yes, that's exactly what I'm looking for.

Thank you so much!

Kathleen

thank you again @jhoepffner for sharing the arduino sketch.  i've modified it to work with the led strip and along with it have attached an isadora patch to play with the arduino.  

usable info online has been difficult to find so i share this for those who want to experiment with isadora and led strip control via arduino and osc.

Thanks Mark, that's what I meant, thanks for translating my thoughts.

The Avolite plugins are proprietary to their own media servers.  (I have been told this before by someone that works there). They were not made with the intention of joining the FFGL community of plugins.  Avolite make most of their money selling their hardware/software combos. If you get some of them working it is more likely to be a case of good luck rather than that there is something wrong with the ones that don't work.

@Maxime @jhoepffner

Yes as soon as you connect a projector or monitor you can avoid that problem.

Very interesting, thanx Mark!

I started to use PocketCam application lately in addition to syphon server...

You can use external bluetooth switches supported by iOS' accessibility setup, and use that to manipulate touchOSC...

Sorry if my answer was misleadingly, i did it with the Blackmagic Decklink Quad and the Sonnet Echo Express.

I were measuring end to end (SDIcam-> Decklink Quad -> AMD FirePro D700-> TripleHead DP-Edition -> Kramer DVI- Network Extender-> Datapath-> Samsung Videowall) 5 to 6 Frames delay. It sounds a lot but it feels ok.

Your welcome.

It's an often forgotten element. As you've probably worked out (but also for future readers of this post) If you have two types of video combing then isadora can either downscale one video source or upscale the other; or change both to the default resolution.

Would love that feature!
