@mark_m oh cool i have one of those clickers actually. any tips on where to start with getting it into isadora? is it maybe a keyboard watcher situation?

@dusx The file format is MP4.
I'll check these settings and try again!

<p>@gpeddino Here's a screenshot of the Isadora system:</p><img src="/assets/uploads/files/1779682232201-screen-shot-2026-05-25-at-01.01.42.png" />
There is naturally some latency in communications, although 3 frames is a lot.
What format is your video? (I only see .mov)
, you want to be using ProRes or Hap
What framerate and cycle rate do you have Isadora set to? 60fps and maxing your cycles rate (may take a little testing) should provide the snappiest response possible.

I think it is safe to say this warning is out dated. Given solid state speeds, I don't think this really applies now.
@Woland Your thoughts?

Yes! This works very well, and you can create your own control panel on the smartphone, so gives more options than the simple clicker I suggested before.
if all you need to do is basic scene control, in other words just advancing from one scene to the next, wireless presentation controllers work well. These are the things that corporate folk use to control their PowerPoint presentations!
Logitech ones work well in my experience. R500s is good and cheap. You still have to get Isadora to recognise the ‘click’ but that’s not hard.

Hello,
It depend on your skill but I would recommend:
– OSC instead of midi : named address, 32 bits int and float, text
– Wifi over bluetooth, more reliable, better range, multi-computer network
You can build a cheap interface with Arduino or Rapsberry, including buttons, fader, touchscreen.
Another easy possibility is a smartphone with touchOSC.
i have a Korg Nano Kontrol and also the bluetooth Studio version. I hardly use the bluetooth one because it has pretty limited range, eats batteries and tends to disconnect at exactly the wrong moment, so I use the old regular controller with a USB extension.
Hello,
Utilizing Isadora in my performance art duo with no tech crew. sigh. would love a recommendation for a good wireless midi controller for basic scene control.
Thank you
