I would set the 'size px' to 6, 'repetitions' to 6, and 'spacing px' to 1?

 Sure, that will work. You may want to crop/chop your video to narrow down on the region/s you want to select color from. I generally select the section of video I want to analyze, then scale it down (as low as 6px by 6px for your case) and then feed that into the Matrix Color Send actor. By scaling down you are basically averaging all the colors in a zone down to the one pixel. 
So for example, if you selected a 60 px by 120px area as the control area from your video feed, you could scale that down to 6x6 and get a fair representation of the colors on those 36 zones/blocks. Depending on your goal, you may need to experiment a bit to find the right balance of color blending vs accuracy.

One question about the Matrix color send actor in regards to the video to light in a matrix of non LED Pars....I want to reformat my video to a 6x6 Matrix. I currently have it set to rows. Does this mean I would set the 'size px' to 6, 'repetitions' to 6, and 'spacing px' to 1? I'm not yet familiar with how the scaling works here. Here's some example screenshots of the PD side of things.

 @DusX @bonemap I feel like one of you is better equipped to answer this question.

@woland

Its working! thanks.

sadora also allows several files to be associated with a scene through various actors, like Data Array etc. and even .oni skeleton files so these get left out of the 'collect all process' or do yiu think there is another way to scrape a project for associated files?

 I might have a solution to this.. I am working on something.

Thanks I’ll take a look.

Hi,

Bitfocus Companion supports the AMP protocol, and should be a smooth bridge between isadora and your switcher.

https://bitfocus.io/connection...

You can set companion to trig your switcher, and any companion button can be triggered by OSC ( so from isadora ).

I hope this helps.

Best regards

We also had an existing feature request to this so I've now added my post here to that.

I've added this to the existing feature request for this.

Hi,

I would find an option to lock a user actor helpful when sharing resources. This is feature request for a lockable user actor option.

Best wishes

@woland

I like your idea of an input type toggle!
