Thanks so much for the information. I tried to download the two User actors, but I'm getting a message that says, "There is no application set to open the document “heartbeat-generator-v2 (1).iua4”.  Search the App Store for an application that can open this document, or choose an existing application on your computer. When I click on choose application, Isadora appears, but doesn't allow me to select it. Any insight?

You can put that User Actor into your Global User Actor Folder or drag it from Finder into the Scene Editor of an open Isadora document to use it.

For more info please review our tutorial on User Actors: https://support.troikatronix.com/support/solutions/articles/13000091626-isadora-101-tutorial-11-creating-user-actors

@dillthekraut

isn't that what 'Save as run only' does?

@dusxthis Thank you, this is helpful.

@obx

Ah, I think you misread just "actors" as "User Actors". 

There is indeed a warning you'll get when opening an old file that contains what are now considered "classic" (outdated) actors, and those actors are indeed red in color. Usually these actors have new versions and/or are now considered inefficient because they're CPU-based instead of GPU-based.

It'd be awesome if you could upload this to our Add-Ons Page.

Cool stuff like this eventually gets buried in the forum.

Hello. thanks to this thread we know that the supercard Blackmagic decklinck quad 2 (8 3g sdi configurable in/out 1080p) works with Isadora in a tower pc. Anyone experience of it working on a mac ? I have a Sonnet USB-C cabinet that works well with another Blackmagic PCI card that allows Isadora to have 4 HDMI cameras captured at the same time. What about this one ?
