Feature request: picture from video grabber

[Fred]

Actually this has been coming up for about 4 years and no go.

I'm having a workaround now, not the easiest way. Nikon HDMI to Black magic input - out to projector

Shoot a picture with a Nikon and Sofortbild , picture ends up in user bin. Picture player is already set to picture number (aargh, have to shoot the right picture...), then I switch off live view and enable picture player. 

The problem is I have to do this with 20 projectors on 2 stages...

 I know in the past Isadora and DSLR input was in the works, but I think that stopped (could only find something back in the old forum)

still no go for picture grabber?

I am currently pulling together all feature requests, and grouping related requests.

You can be sure that this is in the mix, and that we will be prioritizing these ASAP.

thanks and thanks for so many satisfactions with isadora 2.0.5!

I grab a short movie and then load it into a movie player with speed set to 0 to get round this

Drop this in:

~/Library/compositions

Send a video into it and you can use an off/on toggle.

Something is missing or screwed up.

[Fred]

I think this will answer it

Here is a compiled version 443252-imageexporter.plugin.zip

Sorry people!

I just dragged it out of my folder; presumed it would work for you all.

Thanks @Fred 

[crystalhorizon]

@fred where do I put your plugin?

[crystalhorizon]

@fred got it, into the qc path, now it looks like on grahams screenshot. Thank you

@Fred

Any chance you still have that Applescript kicking around? I'd love to get my hands on it, provided that you're willing to share.

[Fred]

@Woland long gone, but something like this:

on run
set filePath to POSIX path of "/Users/folder_path"
set theCurrentDate to current date
set shellCommand to "/usr/sbin/screencapture \"" & filePath & "Screen Shot" & theCurrentDate & ".png\""
do shell script shellCommand
end run

And you can attach this to a folder to watch it and import the files into Izzy

on adding folder items to this_folder after receiving these_items

try
tell application "Isadora"
import media into document 1 from these_items
end tell

on error msg
display dialog "Error importing file into Isadora: " & msg
end try

end adding folder items to

And to refine it to a specific stage here is a good thread

@Fred Thanks!

Still I think it needs a good actor for this. There is already an movie to disk actor, I need to capture only 1 frame....Still working with Syphon capture and import it into Izzy
