@eight here at our university we use the Hollyland Mars 4K for Kameras: https://www.hollyland.com/product/mars-4k
They are cheaper than Teradek but they have a delay, they say 60ms on the website but its rather 70ms.

Yes, both files need to be opened by the same version of Isadora. 
Open one izzy file, then use the file/open menu to open the other file.
When opened in the same version of Isadora you should be able to copy and paste scene from one to the other.

@eight

You will need to open your preferences folder, and delete "com.troikatronix.isadora.vst3-plugins.json"
That file holds the list of plugins. Isadora should scan for all VSTs again, and revalidate them. This can be a slow process for users with hundreds of VSTs.

By default, Isadora will output video to each display at that display's resolution and refresh rate, so if your computer sees the display as a 1080p 60Hz screen, you don't need to do any additional configuration. 

You'll be able to see what Isadora sees your external display as in Output > Stage Setup

Here's an article on Stage Setup in Isadora (English).

Here's a video tutorial on Stage Setup in Isadora (English).

You may want to use the Zoomer actor or the FFGLPanSpinZoom actor to reposition your videos because a video with an aspect ratio of 16:9 is not going to 100% fit the shape of a screen with an aspect ratio of 2:1. In case you need to do any Projection Mapping to ensure that your content (with a 16:9 Aspect Ratio) fits nicely on your display (2:1 Aspect Ratio), here's a projection mapping Isadora tutorial video in Spanish.

In terms of general configuration for an Apple computer being used for an Isadora project/production, you can follow the setup steps in my macOS Isadora Show Computer Setup Guide (English) to turn off some pesky settings and such. (For German-speakers, here's an older macOS setup guide (German) by @SchaubühneVideo that may have some more technical steps that I didn't think of.)

I have two small suggestions for you.

First is @DusX updated  python tools, in the add-ons here. Like you I couldn't understand the first video, but this did help me get started.

And the other thing which has really helped me with Python is using AI. Specifically Claude Sonnet. I like that model particularly because it is good at explaining, which helps me to learn the process. 

When I'm starting a chat I:

ask it to add detailed comments to every line of code explaining what it does in plain English (am sure it's equally capable in other languages!).ask it for a "Step-by-step environment setup guide," including how to install the necessary libraries for my OS.

I just did this for Windows, and Claude Sonnet gave me verbose instructions. Including how and where to install all the necessary libraries, etc. I don't have time to try that all out right now, but will certainly give it a go later.

Meanwhile maybe this is useful...

Hello Isadora Team,

First, thank you so much for the latest update. Amazing!!! Especially the VST plug-ins.

As a stand-alone, Surge XT allows me to switch patches using MIDI 'Program Change'. Clunky but it works.

However, the Surge XT Actor does not seem to listen to 'Program Change'. Is this true, or am I missing something?
