Hi!

Am working with a Brompton Tessera processor and LED wall and 60 fps of framerate out of Izzy (wall is also set to 60). Am experiencing jitteriness and non-continuous/smooth motion when animating the position of a still image horizontally (same with jpgs or png). Am using the ease in-out actor to do a bit of horizontal position left to right.

Any thoughts? It's not a very fast speed of motion either. 

Thanks

it's really great seeing 'Isadora' events happening. We need more.

 Yes, we're also always happy to signal-boost other people's Isadora events

@videosmith

I posted about this in a couple relevant places on Discord.

Have a lovely workshop :)

@eMTv made a neat feather crop User Actor: https://community.troikatronix.com/topic/7848/feather-crop?_=1760522362139

There's also this thread with some solutions for angled cropping: https://community.troikatronix.com/topic/8776/answered-diagonal-crop?_=1760535965092

@woland @dbini these Pipo interfaces look great! Unfortunately I'm gonna have to wait until January until the next batch is available. Are these available anywhere else?

Best wishes,

Simon

 Great!
not exactly what I imagined, I though you might animate the 'bottom width' value. Interesting you need to toggle the visible (mental note taken).

You could adapt this template of mine and put an alpha mask inline: https://community.troikatronix.com/topic/5495/global-projection-mapping-simple-show-template

@reload2024 Hello! Pause Engine from Isadora’s menu bar is an alternative option to Blind Mode. Hope that helps!

I am not familiar with the Sony, but I use the Canon equivalent as a live camera in my work.

The little HDMI connections are a pain! I have a cheap Smallrig Cage on my camera. Attached to the cage are a cable clamp and a Smallrig converter which converts the microHDMI on my Canon into full size HDMI. The cable clamp makes sure the microHDMI cable doesn't get pulled out, and also protects the fragile socket. So I don't need to worry about the cable loosening or getting inadvertently pulled out, and I can attach a full size HDMI cable to the camera.


Like @bonemap I use a DJI Ronin Gimbal which allows me to fine tune the position of the camera remotely using the phone app. There has been lots of work done on other ways of remotely controlling the gimbal, using wired Ethernet connections or a Gamepad. I often mount my cameras above the stage, so it's great to be able to have this control and to be able to finesse camera positions from down on the ground, not up a ladder :-)

<p>@undergroult said:</p> <blockquote>i don't understand which kind of channel input he had use</blockquote> <p> I am pretty sure, what he would have done is used a Sound Frequency Bands or Sound Frequency Watcher actor/s. In live capture settings (input/live capture settings) in Isadora you need to select a Sound Input device, ensure 'Sound Frequency Analysis' is checked, and Start Live Capture. That will provide the audio source to the Sound Frequency Bands or Sound Frequency Watcher actor/s in your scene. These actors allow you to convert audio frequency values into numeric outputs in Isadora. These numeric outputs can then be fed to your GLSL shader actor to control inputs, making the GLSL audio reactive.</p>

 Something like that probably.... I think I managed to publish an input in the code. This was 5 years ago... can't fully remember.

You may also want to take a look at the Data Array actor

@marclark

3.2.0.1  seems to solve the problem.

Here's an article on how to use the Set and Get Global Values actors: https://support.troikatronix.com/support/solutions/articles/13000014936-using-the-global-value-actors

Additionally, if you take a look at the Isadora 4 Manual, you'll find:

The Get Global Values actor on pages 501-502The Set Global Values actor on pages 719-720

As you're new to Isadora, I'd also recommend checking out our Isadora Mini-Tutorials playlist on the TroikaTronix YouTube Channel. There you can learn some helpful basic tips, but also tricks and best practices that that might take you a while to figure out otherwise.
