[ANSWERED] How to setup display of next cue preview in controls when each cue is an MP4?
-
I am currently using Isadora 3, and I wanted to see if I could code in a small window to display what the next cue is going to look like. An image would be fine, I just don’t know how to tie that to clicking the “next” button when switching between cues.

@koolsteeler this for sure can be done but depends on the complexity of your patch and how you cue. If you are jumping around cues and which cue is next will never be the same, use the activate scene amount instead of switching scenes. This way you can read from the next scene and use a preview in the controller scene.
If the scenes are in the same order al the time and you just want a confirmation preview, you can use scenes as is, but make a preview next scene user actor that previews a video and sends that video ID to the following scene (just to avoid double programming as you only need to enter the ID once)

The simplest way would be to use the Capture Stage to Picture actor to get a still image "thumbnail" of what each Scene looks like, then put a Picture Player actor in each Scene showing the picture taken of the next scene, and link the output of the Picture Player actor to a Monitor Control.
