[ANSWERED] Cueing with multiple screens
-
Hi all,
I have 3 stages/screens for a theatre show, for ease A, B, and C. What is the most effective way to cue a video change on one screen without effecting looping videos on the other two? I can't seem to work out how to move to a new scene/Q without reseting a loop or causing a blip. Is there a video or documentation that explains this?
Thanks

Really depends on the amount of scenes that have this behavior. What I normally use for this is an 'Background scene' and 'Virtual Stages'
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FakW7s7pDao, this goes over 'Background scenes'
Virtual Stages basically create a virtual container, that you can sent your footage to (and do things like color correction). Then in my main background scene, I grab those virtual stages again and I sent them thru the Stages that actually have the displays associated with them.

Unless I'm misunderstanding this completely it just sounds like you need to familiarise yourself with the different types of scenes that operate in Isadora.
Basically you can have 2 scenes operating simultaneously.
So for example you might have a scene which plays your video content on screen B, whilst simultaneously activating a background scene which shows video on screens A + C.
The benefit of this is that background scene will keep playing until it is deactivated. So it can play in the background of multiple scenes.
So in this scenario you could trigger a jump actor to go to the next scene where a different video plays on screen B. But the video on A +C would continue as if nothing has happened.
It's the same technique you would use to have an audio track which runs through multiple scenes.
This video explains it all
