When I run the example under Isadora 4 I get this error message:

Light problems Kandidatkoncert

Here is the file:)

I am on a Mac Studio btw. and after this incident the light worked fine but I have troubles as soon as I make some more complex setups with that.

Hi,

I finally have a DMX setup that works most of the time, but I continue to have some problems with consistency.e.g last time I was playing, I had 3 scenes where I was only controlling the lighting and was supposed to have it changing live with the music. I tested the setup twice before we played and when were then live, nothing worked. I couldn't turn off the lights, I could see the actors moving but nothing happened to the light, when I tried to make a black out, the lights all turned into orange. I have another show on Wednesday and I would like to have it working by then. Another problem was that even though I had initialized all lights to be off they were on. All help is very welcome:) Also, this time the Pythoner actor didn't activate. How can I make sure this happens?
All the best

@renegadeboy You have a few choices, but starting with LTC as an audio track on your video files is a great begining. 

From there you can use hardware or software to convert LTC to MTC. IF you use software you need to route the audio output to an audio input with a cable or virtual soudn card.

For OSX you can use loopback to route the audio and lockstep to do the conversion https://figure53.github.io/stu...

There are a variety of virtual audio cards for windows, I am not a fan of them but they do work - there are a bunhc of forum posts about them.

From there you can use this free software: https://github.com/Gouttfi/smp... or a number of paid softwares https://txl20.com/timecode-exp...  https://isotonikstudios.com/pr...

I like hardware devices as you dont need to mess around and they operate independantly, there are soem cheaper ones: https://www.doremidi.cn/h-pd-8...

I have used this fancier one that also does artnet timecode: https://www.visualproductions....

You can also do this with some annyoing work with Reaper or Chataigne

Hi, I am trying to find the best way to send Midi Timecode out of Isadora to an external device so that a lighting desk can sync to my output.

I can get timecode from my audio/video file using the current movie player, I just don't know how to output the values so they can sync.

Thanks,

 That was exactly the thing!!!!

Thanks

How frustrating!
