I would never upgrade anything just before a major tour... that's kind of asking for trouble!

 I second this.

I didn't think about the tip of simply hiding part of the name!

Well, you couldn't have because you didn't know it was a pixel limit and not a Scene Limit ;)

This issue is one that really annoys me personally, so once we have this next release out the door, I'll see what I can do about pestering one of the programmers to get this bug fixed.

I have had growing connectivity issues with my focusrite Clarett pre8, but It is stable at the moment when wired into a desktop setup. The unit is a bit older now and has a Thunderbolt 2 interface. I assumed that some of my issues were a result of having to use converter dongles and docking devices to use the Thunderbolt 2 interface with current types of connectivity. When the interface is physically connected but not connected in software, I go back to the focusrite control app and it is usually also not detected there either- at that point I try to restart everything. I did have some nasty noise coming from one monitor when using Isadora directly with the focusrite - which was a surprise - but I turned everything off and restarted and didn’t have another hint of it. 

I have used Motu and Behringer interface before - some time ago - I was happy to leave the Behringer behind and have had less issues with the focusrite than I did have with the Motu.

 I think it will be great when Isadora releases a major audio update.

hi Ryan,

Thinking along the same lines I made a quick fixer with Text Parser and similarly thought about JavaScript. I will check out your offer though, and appreciate that we might return to the stripped iteration of the actor in future releases.

Best wishes

Thanks for sharing. Love to see what artists are doing with Isadora features.

Like you, I have had a lot of fun with MediaPipe in Isadora. It is remarkable how accurate and stable the tracking is and it is not too bad at dealing with occlusion issues. My next step is using a thermal or infrared camera system so that the interactivity makes sense in a blackbox/low light performance setting. MediaPipe is really effective with available light cameras as long as there is lots of light - I am looking for a solution for this that works with theatrical/performance lighting that is a lot more subtle. My debut performance with this tracking was a 'cats cradle' game. During intermissions members of the audience at an outdoor film festival could play with virtual strings between their fingers while the Isadora stage was projected onto a giant mango tree next to a large cinema screen. The low latency and accuracy made for a fun audience experience. My only issue was having to light the participant enough to get good tracking and then this lighting interfering with the participant observing the projection - for the onlookers it worked really well. Projection always seems to work better when you can mitigate control and limit other light sources.

This screengrab matches Pythoner MediaPipe with Isadora's 3D Ropes actor module and a Motion Blur. I really appreciate the output effect of this with the physics of the 3D Ropes creating a very responsive live dynamic.

Hello Community,

Anonymous Ensemble seeks an experienced Isadora programmer/operator for our technical rehearsals and run of Anonymous Ensemble's Llontop at Pregones Theater in the Bronx for the first few weeks of January. The job would entail working with technologist Adrian Cameron to help run the interactive installation portion of the show. The job also entails operating a live feed camera during the performance portion of the show (do not need to be expert). The commitment is January 5-18 as well as some paid prep work in December. Bonus for experience with AWS cloud computing, Zoom broadcasting, and Machine Learning. The ideal candidate would be somewhat bilingual Spanish/English. This is a paid position. Please contact eamonn@anonymousensemble.org for inquiries or suggestions.

Warmly,

Eamonn

I’m having playback issues with my Movie Player Actor, where video files are inconsistently not playing…. The actor will spit out a still image, but not the movie file, and sometimes the playback is choppy… These files are using the HAP1 codec on an Alienware Tower… One more wrinkle is that I’m using TouchDesigner via Spout in conjunction with isadora so that we can have some generative interactivity in some cues.
