Help needed before concert tomorrow... Unable to project output

Eva

Hi Helping hands:)

Today I was supposed to do visuals for a concert. I had everything ready + the projecter did what it was meant to. 10 minutes before the concert somone (else than me) plugged the projector out while everything was running, and put it into the power again. And then - it was impossible to get the project to work. I tried to restart everything, and the particualer project didnt work. I could make other saved project go through the output, and after a while, I picked one that seemed to work. And then after changing 2-3 scenes Isadora frose, so I couldnt change scenes either. when I changed it made an image on top of the last image so i saw 2 images. The only thing I did difrently from last time was that I clicked "Limit to..." to get the output to come out corectly.

I have a concert tomorrow sunday at 16 (danish time) how can I fix this?
And what do you need from me of information?
Thank you for your time and help:)

Hi Eva,

As first steps I’d start with deleting the preferences, here’s how:

Which version of Isadora are you using?

Do you have another computer to test the project on to see if its hardware related.

How is the laptop connected to the projector? Hdmi, hdbaset, vga, sdi..

Does the laptop itself run fine with the projector/second screen attached I.e. can you output to the second screen without issues?

TCheck whether there’s only 1 project running

Try making a new project with a couple of scenes and videos and see if that crashes as well.

Hi, Oh thank you, I will go to the place and go through it all. Now I have deleted the preferences. I could run other things from the projector, since before I plugged it out everything worked fine. And more generally I have never had any problems with the projector, that is my own. Presently also
I work on Isadora 3, and presently I only have this computer. It has Mojave.

Presently also Isadora wants to show the project as the main output, eventhough it is set to stage 2.

I will try and go to the space and find a way to fix it. and respond further - but if there is already something that rings a bell, I am curious.

thanks - Eva

Oh, btw. the projecter is connected via HDMI.
I did try to copy a few scenes into a new project, but at least yesterday, that also didnt work. I am doing a new thing today, but I will need some of this material, so I will try and copy some of it into a new project.

@eva how did it go?
