Isadora 1.3.0f25
-
strange - clicking on the above link, or the link in Mark's announcement produces a number of differently truncated versions of the release notes.(chrome on OSX 10.6.8, MBP and MacMini) until a right-click > 'Open Link in New Tab' got me to the whole thing. i looking forward to trying it out - thanks Mark...
-
Hmmm hmmmm hmmmm... this whole browser problem is annoying. I wish I could see it on my machine, which is the same as your dbiini.
Oh, computers! Glad you found a way to see it thought.Best,Mark -
the link for the download is missing. i'm using lion with firefox 14.0.1
-
I think it is sad that we talk here about various problems with various systems and browsers and various computers downloading instead about the new version. Maybe we should start the new discussion about these problems and concentrate on actual release here.
-
The download was also weird for me but got it. This release is a total miracle! I'm not big into prayer but these is kind of incredible.
Three days ago I was pulling my hair out trying to get 720p files to scrub effectively in both directions. Previous release scrubbed fine forward but would lock up in unpredictable ways in reverse no matter what compression format etc. Works great so far for what I am trying to do-basically using kinect to select and scrub files in different ways. I know I'm not supposed to use this version for performance but 50% of my shows blow up anyways so...probably need to use it next weekend and see what happens. -
Dear All,
First, thank you for that thought Vanakaru, but if people can't download the software there isn't much to talk about.
The whole problem originated because the release notes were too long to add to a forum post directly. So I put them on their own page But,if you open the link to the separate page, it opens it in the 'iFrame" within which this forum is embedded. (I was testing withoutnthe forum embedded, which you can do via this link: http://troikatronix.com/troikatronixforum/ -- you need to choose "open in new window" for this link to work!)
Because the size of the opened page was limited to the iFrame, you couldn't see the bottom of the page. Erghhh.
Anyway, by editing the HTML and using target="_blank" a new window/tab is opened, and I think that will address the problem.
I'm going to make separate post about this to alert everyone that this has been handled.
Best,

downloaded and installed the new program 3 times and it plays videos for about 1 sec. then freezes. am using a mac mini 20111 lion with 120gb ssd 16 gb ram.
what am i doing wrong????
found it! was using threaded movie playback, turned it off now it works. duh!
-
I have been on a much deserved holiday but I am now back home and will be giving the new version a blast this week.
-
i just spent a couple of hours playing with the new 3D rendering to video and it's great! and the whole thing feels much faster and smoother. nice one Mark.
-
@Ray -- oh good one. I need to add that to the release notes and actually remove threaded movie playback as an option. It was a failed idea unfortunately. I'll go edit the links right now.

Hi,
I played the new version out last night with a patch I've been using for ages for general VJ club stuff, I'm sorry to say it crashed twice (cant remember the last time that happened live), when I booted into my patch I lost the description fonts for the buttons etc (futura Condensed Extra Bold) - it didn't seem to like the font I have been using for years, and I had some strange issues with movies playing for about 3 seconds then stopping, when looking at the movie player actor the play head was still traveling but not content was coming out, and I would have to quit and reboot finder to get it to play.I'm not loosing sleep over it because it was a mess about really and I could mix over to another laptop, just wanted to test it for a good few hours non stop.I'll try and get some more detail to you.I'm really sorry to say this because I'm aware how hard you've been working on this version Mark and I'm sure you have made some great improvements overall.bestbobMBP 2.2 Ghz Intel core4 GB memory10.7.4 -
I had a similar issue with f25, @wasserts, where the movie player would keep playing the same clip even when others were selected. I filed a bug report with Mark about it the other day.

CoreImage fixed, no error messages, after 10 hours playing with some old izzy files (CImovie CIvideo QC), I quit Isadora with stage on plus capture on, Isadora crashed, MBP 2.5 Ghz 4 GB memory 10.6.8

Works like a dream for me

For those of you who had crashes, grab the small applet that gathers and compresses your crash reports into a zip file and send them. This will help me see if there is some pattern to the crashes you have experienced.

Dear Bob,
Hmmm... those crashes are dated 2009 and are with Isadora v1.2.9.22\. Maybe my little app isn't so smart. What version of Mac OS X are you running?Best Wishes,Mark -
I'm having some issues with .0f25. I'm running OS 10.6.8 on a MacBook Pro. The frame rate on a certain scene will vary from 30fps to 6.5fps depending upon what appear to be internal states of Isadora. It's not an issue of available free memory, or competing processes outside of Isadora. I've attached some screengrabs of three instances, along with activity monitors. For some reason Isadora isn't using CPU that is available to it at times. All scenes are affected, but this one is the most affected.

Dear Scodav,
Well, the speed is entirely dependent on how many clips you are playing at the same time, the resolution of those clips, and their codec and the effects. Are you playing more movies when the frame rate is slow? If you tell us the number of clips, resolution and codec we can offer more guidance.I can see you are using a blur -- that's very "expensive" CPU wise. (You should be sure to use the FreeFrame GaussianBlur [no space between Gaussian and Blur] instead of Isadora's built in "Gaussian Blur" [with space].) Another actor to watch out for in terms of this is the "HSL Adjust" actor.The Cycles value in the Status window tells you how many times per second Isadora can execute all of the actors in the active scene. 20 is very low -- that's why you're getting 6.5 frames per second.Best Wishes,Mark -
Oh! Good to know I was still crashing in 2009 eh ;)
10.7.4, 2.2 ghz, Intel coreI'll run that app again and check the datesb
