i love Stage Background but it's not compatible with IzzyMap. Its become a love triangle, with no known resolve. 

 Performing some thread necromancy to highlight that now you can do:

Thank you so much. You are an inspiration!

@mark

A thousand thanks for this fantastic software. I wish you every success and enjoyment with your new projects.

Best regards

Firstly, thank you! Thank you for enabling all of these artists to create such amazing work through Isadora, and thank you for being such a caring and responsive software dad: not only providing the tools, but helping us make the most of them. 

What you're saying really resonates. I am a year older than you, and also wrapping stuff up to move on to the next phase. Like you say, recognising that there's not so much time left... like you, looking forward to a creative, fulfilling, 'retirement'

Mark (not you, obviously)

Mazel tov!! Thank you Mark for creating this extraordinary tool that has unleashed so much creativity into the world. Can't wait to see what you do next!

Congrats and appreciation to the TroikaTronix team for taking on the Isadora Mantle.

@mark

Congratulations Mark! 

All the best for a wonderful "retirement" and I look forward to seeing where your next creative endeavours will take you. You've left Isadora in great hands!

Cheers,

Hugh

A personal statement from Mark Coniglio.

Maybe:

1. Ditch the MTC Movie Locker actor
2. Place a fresh Movie Player actor (or unhide the hidden inputs on the one you've got from the screenshot)
3. Right-click the Movie Player actor
4. Select "Use Timecode" from the contextual menu
5. The Movie Player's position inputs and outputs will switch to Timecode
6. Use a Timecode Calculator actor connected to the relevant input on the Movie Player to add or subtract as needed to deal with your offset

offset by moving the TC file in Ableton

 This seems a valid way of doing this to me. If you were to add/subtract from the code in Isadora you would change your endpoints by the offset, So perhaps never play the beginning frames? By moving the TC file you preserve both ends exactly. 

Of course you could add/subtract from the position output of the MTC Movie Locker to have the same effect as offsetting the timecode itself.

Hi 

There may be other ways to do this more elegantly and no doubt greater minds will arrive in.

 I have done similar but only within Isadora but the principle should be the same.

I have used the TC Caclulator to offset the incoming TC by subtracting/adding by the requisite value and then send that updated TC value to your next step.

I did this internally to offset a constantly changing start point for a timecode video....!!!

Hope this helps!?
