@Mark: Question about 2.0 upgrade non-USB licensing: is this going to be the good old 3 licenses per year deal?

Thanks.

@bruper,

Do you by any chance have "v002 Screen Capture" installed? It seems to have a problem with 2.0\. Another user was getting the same crash, uninstalled "v002 Screen Capture", and then everything was fine.

Please check for this.

Otherwise, file a bug report and **compress (please!)** a crash report and send it to us as a bug report.

Best Wishes,

Mark

Dear All,

Just a small update. I was hoping to process the remaining early adopters tonight, but I am stuck at a hotel in Copenhagen with an internet connection that is only barely useable. I will be back home in Berlin tomorrow, and will be processing these orders starting at 10am or so. Those of you who are waiting can expect to see your upgrade notices then.

Also, for those of you who got 2.0.0b1 -- there will be an new build tomorrow fixing some things that the first batch of early adopters found. It will be 2.0.0b2.

Thanks for the patience

Good Night,

Your intrepid leader,

Mark

Rest intrepid leader!

@eight: to answer your question about 3 per year: yes. ;-)

Do we need a 2.0 section in the forum?

bruper

@mark: YES, IT WORKS, it was in fact "v002 Screen Capture" Thank you very much!! by the way, in the bug report page there is not yet a 2.0 selection possibility, I wanted to do it yesterday but then I choose not to, to avoid confusion

mark

@bruper - yes, I'm looking into why this came up now. There is some sort of conflict with a piece of code called an TaskWrapper, which Isadora wasn't using before but is now.

Will fix the bug report page presently. Thanks for the tip.

In any case, glad it works. ;-)

All the Best,
Mark

Got it, thanx Mark! Great, didnt expect the new FFGL Effects, trying them right out now. Really fun! Or is Isadora loading my Plugins from Resolume? ad3bee-screenshot-2014-08-24-18.26.34.png

I really should be finishing some animation work, but Isadora 2.0 came in today ;-) Works like a charm here. Can't wait to dig in deeper, thanks Mark and team it looks great, definitely worth the wait!

Testing it right now..
Mapping features are AWESOME ! I needed it for my next project.
Movie playing engine seems much better.. (didn't tried HAP yet)

So much to test and discover...

Thanks Mark, thanks all TroikaTeam. Great work !

@feinsinn
It could be loading your resolume fx if they are in the Isadora freeframe folder.

bruper

2.b02 Rocks!!

Skulpture

@feinsinn - pretty pretty sure they are Resolume effects: most of which we used at Glastonbury :)

Reinhard

Any sources here for FFGL that are fresh and free or not too expensive?

Got an empty folder.

mark

Dear @feinsinn,

Yes, it's likely that Isadora is loading your Resolume effects. The FreeFrame folder is at an agreed upon location -- it is not specific to Isadora. So if other programs have installed FFGL plugins there, you'll see them.

@Skulpture + @DusX: putting a list of where users can get free/useful FFGL plugins that don't belong to another software would be a priority at this point. Please talk together and put something together, OK?

Best Wishes,

Mark

Hi @mark and team, the mapping is absolutely astounding! ... I am tempted to put my whole life on hold to get my teeth into the new features, but will have to take it step by step. But this really looks like an unbelievable achievement.

A few questions (that will be answered in the documentation I'm sure, but I'm impatient hence the early adopting):

- To get the best out of h264 decoding and general playback, should a CI Movie Player be used?

- Are there also gains in terms of encoding performance, as in when recording to disk?

- I assume the CI Projector will be the most efficient for complex mapping... however on my side the mapping only works on the Classic Projector (on CI it launches but has no effect). Have filed a bug...

Thanks again for the fantastic developments, will clock in more as I run tests

Take care
