 Can you do a test at the same resolution Eva is using (4880x1200)?
I have recently discovered some formats don't record for video (vertical for example), so perhaps there are image limitations as well?

@skulpture @woland Hello!

May back in March I asked for help, and you offered it and then I dropped it. 

I won't get in the weeds why I left it and now I'm back with the same issue, but this is just a massively big project that I'm a bit over my head on (which is nothing unusual, hence my maybe varied panicked posts).

First -- just a blanket thanks for how much you two, in particular, have helped me over the years...and also the rest of the community. I never seem to get good enough at any of this to pay it forward and help anybody else out, alas. 

In any case, it does sort of seem like I'm having an export issue that is causing a lag in Izzy. My files look great in both Premier and Quicktime after export. I'm exporting ProRes 4444 16 bit with alpha channel, because I need alpha. I know they're big files, but codecs are confounding to me...I never really know what I'm doing to be honest. 

Could ProRes be the wrong file type and causeing the lag, which seems to be about 6 frames. Big enough to easily see where mouths and speaking aren't synced. 

Thanks in advance for your generosity and help.

@woland its 4880x1200

Here is a syphon snapshot, its totally off... there is usually a black background.

@eva

What is the resolution of your Stage?

@Eva

I don't know why it is not working for you. I got following results without artefacts using Capture Stage to picture (here small size for web)

I will have to try tomorrow, but why is this impossible in Isadora? I have quite some trouble with output and it is a strong computer.

@Eva

Have you tried to make a screenshot with Syphon Recorder? Do you get then the same result?

Here is an example of what comes outoslo-capture2-resized.jpg there is extra triangles that are not shown in the output and the quality is really poor.

Dear helpers:)I have some serious issues capturing my stage to a picture. It shows distorted images, and I cannot figure out why. Can someone help me? I need to send proper photos for a festival so its quite urgent. I am on mac studio, I have plenty of space on my machine. 

Thanks for any input

Eva
