Hi,

it might not be quite the thing you're looking for but here's an actor that does something similar I made to replicate 'wiggle' in After Effects. This is handy if you have either a specific value that you want to fluctuate or if you have a changing value, say one made by a envelope generator, that you want to add a 'wiggle' to. It's designed for things like imitating camera shake, or to make a movement more 'natural' by adding variation to it but you can make it do quite a wide range of things.

If we combine the two will we get drunk wiggling walk?

Thanks a lot 

@gunther Thanks !

Do you have OBS's virtual webcam going at the same time?

 No. I saw that, so I closed OBS. But Zoom is opening a 'crash report' dialogue box literally every time I open it, so I think the problem is there. I've reinstalled it twice. Sometimes I get the black screen as above, sometimes i get the OBS image below:

Hi there, Mark here. We've discussed at our tech team meeting today and I personally have no answers as to why this would on macOS. We have added as a concern and will be investigating it over the coming few weeks. If we can find a way to recreate the problem on our on computers, I (meaning Mark) will put some code into an Isadora debug version to monitor this and see if we can prevent it.

Best Wishes,
Mark

Would still love an option for Windows! ☺

@dusx

thank you very much, found your dm.

@woland Thank you so very much for all of this, SUPER HELPFUL! I'm enjoying learning this software so much and yes that article helped a lot! 

@dusx

aah yes that worked well! Thank you for the help!

is there a way to send audio from the video players to separate sound players? 

Unfortunately, no. We have plans to make an audio output from the Movie Player so that the audio can be run through other audio actors, but at the moment you can't send the audio from a Movie Player actor to a Sound Player actor. The article Bonemap linked above about multitrack audio using macOS is the place to go for multichannel audio routing with the Movie Player actor.

I'm not sure if there's a solution for multi-channel audio routing from a Movie Player on Windows right now. @DusX @Juriaan any thoughts?

@rotrocchia said:

Isadora recognizes the Tascam but none of the equalizers in the Audio View are showing any input even though all of the speakers are producing sound.

This is because the Audio View is for the new multichannel audio routing system that's been implemented in the Sound Player and Tone Generator actors. Audio from the Movie Player actor uses different audio code and thus won't show up in the Audio View. We intend to give the Movie Player actor the same multichannel audio routing capabilities as the Sound Player and Tone Generator actors as soon as we can but at the moment we've got our hands full developing IzzyCast.

@bbonilla

We are working on a feature that will allow these to be controlled from the Control Panel, but for now the only way is knowing what the source's name will be ahead of time and hard-coding in a Selector actor connected to a Popup Menu or Radio Button Control and using that. So unfortunately, at the time being, if you don't know the name of the sources when you're creating the file, you currently can't use the Control Panel to select different sources for the Screen Capture and NDI 5 Watcher actor plugins.

You can, however, do something like this: https://recordit.co/Mr7nY6e6Mq

Example file ---> DOWNLOAD

Steps:

Optional: In Isadora > Isadora Preferences > General Tab > User Interface you can set Control/Actor Font Size to the max (24).You may need to zoom in once to get everything to re-draw with the proper proportions (only this first time, from then on it'll be fine. Small bug, already logged.)Go into the View Menu and hide Toolbox (which also hides "Toolbox Filter"), Media + Information (also hides "Media" and "Information", Scene List (also hides "Cue Numbers"), Snapshots, Audio (hidden by default), and Status Bar (which also hides Timecode). The only hidable thing that's left unhidden is "Scene Settings" (so we can use the hashtag menu to navigate).Make your Control PanelPut big instructions in itOn the Scene Editor side of things, right-click the Screen Capture/NDI 5 Watcher actor, select "Show/Hide Properties", then hide any inputs that the user won't need access to in order to simplify things as much as possible.Put BIG Comment actors with clear instructionsEncapsulate each of the actors you want to navigate to in a Background actor and rename the Background actor to "#[ACTOR NAME]"This will allow the User to easily find the actor you need them to be able to find using the hashtag menu at the bottom right. (See the gif: https://recordit.co/Mr7nY6e6Mq)Use these big Comments and the Background actor to make it very clear what to do and how to get back to the Control Panel.Now your user can open the Scene Editor, find what they need, modify it, and go back to the Control Panel easily.

@dusx

I'd like to add, this is a system setting, done in the monitor settings (color managment) of the OS. Every device does offer a specific color range, it can show. So it may be able to show more or les colors or have the same amount of possible colors (eg. 16+ milions), but differences in the color shift. You need to match the color profile to the displays/projectors profile (some standards are sRGB, Rec. 709, DCI P3 e.g., or even device specific). This applies to print as well. This is easier on MacOS then on Windows, as MacOS already offers some profiles. Just switch between them and you'll immediately see the difference.
find some details here.

One other setup is a quiet unknown: Full vs. limited RGB. RGB values on full are 0 - 255 for each color (Red, Green, Blue). Limited only use 16 - 235. Full is used by PC and grafic setup, while limited is most time for Video. 
Here is an complete article for it.
This setting has to be consistent for the whole chain of devices, from Input (if some camera capturing is done) over the GPU output to the display device or needs to be converted properly.
If not, results are crushed shadows and flat highlights or gray blacks and whites.

@noam

As @Juriaan asked, we would need more details before we can offer too much help.

I would start by saying that this may be an issue with the device not being detected correctly by the computer. I would recommend unplugging the device, and rebooting your system. Once fully running again, reattach the device and let the system configure itself. Then open Isadora and see if the device/driver will connect as expected.

why I did not think of the gate is beyond me. But it solves the worlds problems, well at least mine

The reason you didn't think of it is because, instead of actually figuring out exactly what was causing the problem, I created a workaround that hinges on an entirely different part of your system that didn't have anything to do with where the problem was occurring. It was a weird way to do it, it just happens to work. Also, technically, I didn't solve the problem. That errant trigger still happens, I just directed it into a dead Gate instead of letting it continue through the chain of actors.

Dropbox link to the text file: https://www.dropbox.com/home?p...

 The dropbox link isn't working for me.. but my guess is the file isn't set up correctly as a TAB delimited data file. (like a comma-separated spreadsheet, but with TABS).
You should be able to open it in a spreadsheet software (Excel, OpenOffice Calc etc..), format the data into the correct columns and then export it as a TAB delimited .TXT file. (CALC will allow you to make it a TAB delimited .CSV file.. either will work)

@knowtheatre

When you transition scenes, you possibly have audio playing to the same channels from multiple players. My guess is that you have some audio configuration on your system that doesn't like this change of audio source/routing/mixing.
Can you please take screen captures of your Audio setup in macOS? It doesn't sound like a feedback loop but seems like it must be similar.

not sure what you want

 Looking for ASCII Art but using specifically-chosen characters (in this case 1 and 0)

Hola Miguel, cómo estás.... Isadora sería perfectamente una opción para vos, ya que es muy fácil de aprender y utilizar. Tenés muchas opciones de cómo pasar las imágenes una tras otra, según tus necesidades especificas.

 Eventualmente, si quisieras, podrías hacer muchísimo más que simplemente pasar fotos.

Quedo atento a tus inquietudes.Te mando un abrazo grande,

Maxi. Red Isadora Latina

This file shows basically what Dusx was saying here.

 @ckeng I linked my file in the words "this file" so you can try my exact setup.
