[ANSWERED] IPad procreate live into Isadora

dbini

@mathieusanchez
i did this recently by using the screen sharing function of iOS/OSX and then quicktime player to convert the image from the iPad into a shareable video source.

@dbini

ah yes thank you , and is it quiet in real time , smooth ?

And so via the quick time player i can use this in Isadora as video live input ?

I would use Touch oscillation to draw on the iPad and receive the orc coordinate in Isadora for the life drawing actor. You can add in your touch orc patch controller to change the leine width, the color, etc.

I haven't an iPad but it works with my old iPhone. Connect iPad with a cable to your computer and choose it in the Live Capture settings

I've recently been experimenting with this. 2 options worked really well for me:

The NDI capture app on ipad, broadcast over a wifi network - this worked brilliantly with the procreate drawing app, using an ndi watcher in isadora.

And the other way was using a thunderbolt to hdmi converter and connecting that to a capture card to plug into my mac, and a video in watcher, like the example above. Using the video capture card option it only showed the drawing area, rather than the brush selection etc and this was really useful.

I am using a M1 max macbook pro

Blackmagic devices will only work when you choose the exact right Input Format. You can check the device in the Blackmagic software to see what it's currently set to so you know what to select for Input Format in Isadora.

@woland ok but i don't understand why Ipad pro 2021 output in 720p59,94 ?

@mathieusanchez

Unless I'm misremembering (I don't use my Blackmagic device very often), that's not what the iPad is outputting, it's what the Blackmagic device is currently set to in Blackmagic's hardware configuration software, Desktop Video Setup. Isadora has no control over what the Blackmagic hardware is configured to do, you have to check Blackmagic's Desktop Video Setup software to see how you've configured your device, then make the Input Format in Isadora's Live Capture Settings match that.
