[ANSWERED] Which actor lets me capture an application window?

[thatmattrogers]

This is another 'me being dim' question. I'm trying to capture a secondary application window to use as a video feed in Isadora, but I can't remember how to do it.

I've been looking around for ages but no joy.

Can anyone help?

Screen Capture - its available through the Isadora Add-ons and has recently been updated in line with v3.1

brilliant, now I come up against the issue of installing actors.

I'm using windows and the readme says:

"Drag the file to the "Drag Actors Here To Install" shortcut."

which in theory sounds very easy, but I've been searching for that shortcut for a while and I have no idea where it is.

Help!

Just spotted it,
I was looking for something on the system not the download.

Note: the plugins folder is also easily openable from the Isadora Help menu. Just go to Help > Open Plugin Folder > Troikatronix Actor Plugins

This way you can install the plugins directly. On Windows each plugin is contained in a folder with a name ending in ".izzyplug"
You only need to copy the folder to this location and restart Isadora. (the shortcut simply makes finding the plugins folder even easier)
The default path for the Plugins is: C:\Program Files\Common Files\TroikaTronix\Isadora Plugins
