@nick, @jhoepffner
Thanks so much, works a treat: much smarter!

Thanks, @Michel.

In a hurry I forgot to select RGB±Alpha in AE output module. Your suggestion works after that fix. --8

@DusX - I use Trigger Thru (and other Thru) user actors as well! saves a lot of time when developing patches.

That was it! So much better!

Thanks Mark.

This page might give you some options, you could look at using syphn to get them into isadora http://www.zachpoff.com/software/live-video-delay/

Thanks Marci for the Processing files. I am new in Processing and wondering that is it possible to resize and re-location the Kinect Depth Image behind the fabric curtain?
Since I have increase the size of the fabric curtain and I want to resize and locate the depth image in order to interact the curtain.
thank you

@eight

glad you solved it.

@k8tefree may I know your config? 'couse I'm going deep into this bug and one possibility is a dependance to the hardware (as you can see I got 2 pc, a desktop and a laptop, with 2 complitely different GPU...the desktop got no problem, the laptop got the issue)

HAP alpha is my go to.

Dear @tim_f,

Glad it worked. But just to complete this thread: the reason the movie player played was because Isadora must tell the movie to start playing before it enters the scene. This is because it can take up to 100 mS for the movie to deliver the first frame after you tell it to play. Therefore, to have the first frame ready by the time the scene has actually become active, Isadora tells the movie to play at the end of it's "preload procedure", which is done when you Jump into the scene. The reason it worked some times and not others is unfortunately somewhat variable, which is an inherent problem in both AVFoundation and QuickTime. In other words, sometimes your zero speed go to the movie before that first frame could actually be delivered. Hopefully that allows you to make some sense, and is also to document the fact that this behavior is not a bug but just an inconsistency that we have to live with. Best Wishes, Mark

Glad it helped.

@Fred, thank you, I did not know that.

so as I understend until now your patch must work, maybe issue is somewere else.

to recap: port 1 have in and out too 4 a self loopback port 2 have just an out can you share a screengrab of your midi config?

Dear @dritter,

Please note that the conversion from GPU to CI and back is very cheap. If you want to use the CI Gamma Adjust actor, the conversion will have very little impact on frame rate. Best Wishes, Mark P.S. Converting to/from CPU is, however, very expensive and should be avoided.

The Apple driver uses the settings in your Quicktime app.

You can change some sound settings by opening QuickTime, and checking its preferences.

@em_tx

the screen capture looks like the correct sort of setup, except that you will gain much in performance using Vid_gpu rather than cpu and, I suggest using the native isadora plugin "Luminance Key". It offers more control and, includes help text that can help you understand the inputs.

Thanks. I was afraid is so. As I dance time is bit sliding. Its life cue based... Hmmm, Thanks anyway.

Isadora will not help you much here, and this is a tough job, something like ffmpeg will help you out and look at high end routers with multicast ability - you can send a stream to the router and it will make it multicast without need a heavy server Ruckus have a system called smartcast but there are other variations each with their own ups and downs..

The audio routing in OSX can get a bit complicated, but it makes things like this possible with a little experimentation. I've done something similar with a Multi-Output device, as Michel explains above.

@michaeljr

You have to set the loop mode on the movie player for the talking puppet to "off" and then use the loop end trigger of that movie player to trigger another movie player to start the loop. See attached image.
