I will see if HAP is a possibility on my new Premiere

If Isadora is installed on your PC (even the demo) it will install HAP codecs. They should appear in Premiere. Thanks @enibee for sharing your expertise. ;-)

Best Wishes,

@mark They show up in Isadora but not in Premiere. I'll try to figure out how to get them going in Premiere.

Hi there,

The .oni file allows you to record the movement of the OpenNI trackers inside Isadora. That way you don't have to a dancer running around the entire time. You just press record, let the dancer / person do his thing and press record again. When you enter the filename inside Isadora you can then recall that movement and keep patching.

Hello everybody.

First of all thank you very much Mark for your excellent work. Your pedagogical qualities are also freat.

I have a question, in relation the guru 13 session:

at one point you use on the actor an .oni file in the first example, i.e. the video film dealing with the cathedral. How did you convert the movie into an .oni file? Why doing so?

Thanks in advance, Jean-Marc Matos

[STAFF NOTE: @kdmatos I moved your question and @Juriaan 's response to this thread so that all the discussion could be kept in one place.]

@mark Thank you for this another fantastic guru session. I am trying to locate the tutorial in the material download. I have clicked on the link you have provided but the tutorial.izzy file is not included in the download. I am on Mac Siere 10.12.6. Thank you.

The file guru13-tracking-with-openni-tracker.izz is in the download. Isn't that the file you are looking for?

Hello, I am trying to follow this tutorial, but the link for the session materials seems to be for a different patch to what is featured - would it be possible to get a link to the patch from the tutorial? Many thanks !

@smoon I have the file titled "guru13-tracking-with-openni-tracker" but the file used at the start of the tutorial titled "Openni-tracker-tutorial" is missing

Many thanks in advance for anyone able to advise !

@woland thanks so much for the reply - so I have the Open Ni tracker and the camera set up is working fine but what I don't have is the patch which is used at the start of the tutorial, which is for a skeleton visualiser

I have the second patch used in the tutorial but not the first, which seems to be missing from the download file

many thanks in advance for any help you might be able to offer!

@smoon

The name on the file in the screenshot you are providing is "openni-tracker-tutorial.izz". The link I provided is to the OpenNI Tracker Tutorial file, not the Guru session. Please download the file I linked and tell me whether or not it is the file you were looking for: https://troikatronix.com/add-ons/tutorial-openni-tracker/
