[ANSWERED] Reset Live Capture Settings (Video)
-
Hi,
I would like to reset my live capture video settings. Isadora remembers on each channel different sources I have been using in the past, but not every source on every channel. I have tried to reset all preferences, but that didn't do the trick.
Thanks!

It is true that this procedure doesn't work
- Open Isadora
- Choose File > Reset Preferences
- Quit Isadora
Why? Because choosing Reset Preferences from the file menu does not reset the settings of the Live Capture window. When you subsequently quit Isadora, it stores the current settings of the Live Capture Window in the preferences file as the program exits.
This procedure will, however, work:
- Open Isadora
- Choose File > Open Preferences Folder
- Quit Isadora
- In the folder that opened, delete every file that starts with Isadora Prefs... (e.g., Isadora Prefs 3.2.6.izp, Isadora Prefs 3.2.5.izp, etc.)
- Restart Isadora
- Open Live Capture Settings
- Everything is reset.
You need to erase every preference file for this to work. Why? Because Isadora looks for preference files from older versions when it opens; if it finds one, it will import those older settings in service of maintaining the user's setup when moving from one version to the next.
Sincerely,
Mark Coniglio
