I've been working with the MTC actors and I noticed that MTC Movie Locker receives timecode automatically, with no need of an input from MTC Reader. But the thing is, I find myself having to offset slightly the incoming TC so it will match the sync between two different systems (Ableton sending MTC, Isadora receiving it and keeping a video file in sync).

I do the offset by moving the TC file in Ableton, but it seems far from ideal. Is there a way of offsetting the incoming value within Isadora? Am i doing something wrong here?

no luck for now as i can't find  the actors

 Sorry. I just updated the Youtube page to include download links for the two VSTs I use.

SOFTWARE VSTs:
• This video uses the Free version of HY-MPS3 found in the download section of this site: https://hy-plugins.com/product...
• Arturia Pigments is also used: https://www.arturia.com/produc...
A free version of this software is available here: https://www.arturia.com/produc...

No, this is not possible 'currently'. 
We are looking at a number of automation options, so I can say this is already on the feature request list.

Is there a way to build Isadora patches through scripting (using whatever external programming language)?

Many thanks for any advice!

@gapworks

Isadora doesn't ship with any VST plugins, rather it now supports a huge array of plugins available from 3rd party vendors. 
A little searching and you can find hundreds of free (or paid) vst3 plugins (note vst3 is important, some older plugins in vst2 format will not work).
this page lists many free vsts: Free VST Plugins - List w/Search Function, OS Compatibility, & Tags

Once installed there is a new panel for managing these plugins. (learn about this here: Managing VST Plugins in Isadora)

Along with support for these plugins, Isadora now offers a new 'Audio' patching type, and the additional of numerous Audio actors, for input, mixing, routing, analyzing, and output.
Supporting a multi-channel real-time mixing.

Perhaps, I need to make an intro video tutorial tht supplies links t a few free vsts, and walk through using a few simple audio effects. 
You can find a range of short audio tutorials on our youtube: troikatronix - YouTube

i was  quite exited to explore the new VST options. Being far from a Soundperson i gor a bit lost  where  to download the  plugins. 

the only  vet actor i have is "Transport control" :( Any int highly apprciated as  for now i can't even follow the u tube tutorials

best 

@dbini

See you there :D

@eva

Could you please open a support ticket about this so that @DusX can continue to investigate this? In about a week, I'm going to be away from my normal duties for a bit working for some events through TroikaTronix's professional services; otherwise, I'd be looking into this myself.

For anyone building ATEM control actors or bridges: I’ve open-sourced atem-mini-emulator, a Windows source build that gives SDK clients a local base-Mini test device. You can exercise program/preview, transitions, PiP and macros while the physical switcher is elsewhere. Search GitHub for tin921/atem-mini-emulator. An Isadora/OSC bridge would be a separate integration to build and test.
