OK OK I just selected the 1080p resolution manually instead of leaving it on Native and miracle it works. 

Thanks a lot for your help

HAllo MArk,

Thanks for your answer. So, I opened the Media Express and yeah, it says 1080p50. In fact, only when I set up the preview with that frame rate, I can see an image.

I followed your advice. I closed Backmagic to Syphon and Media Express once I verified that there is signal and then I triggered the video input in Isadora.

Still no image, unfortunately.

Thank you for the explanation! Now it works!

@elena

What is the input source? Do you know for sure that the input is 1080p50?

Did you close Black Syphon before opening Isadora?

In my (Windows) experience using Blackmagic's Media Express program to check the input settings is the best way to ensure that you have the correct settings in Isadora.

Media Express should have been installed when you installed the Blackmagic Desktop Drivers for the Ultrastudio 3G.
I usually open Media Express, check that I can see the input, check what that input is, close Media Express, and copy the setting from Media Express into the Isadora Live Capture settings.

Hope this helps

Hallo hallo everyone,

so I finally got the first MacBook Pro M3 of my life. I have to say I am happy (won't show too much excitement cause I've always not been a fan.... :))) but - it's really nice not to have to re-address displays every day - if you know what I mean....)

I've also got a Blackmagic UltraStudio Recorder 3G - but this seems to show some issues with Isadora.

As you can see in the picture, Blackmagic to Syphon detects the input and once I select the proper resolution, it shows the video preview.

That doesn't happen when I try to start the live capture with the same settings in Isadora. 

I tried some troubleshooting, but I am out of options really.

Does anyone know the trick here? I have the feeling there is something, maybe in the preferences I should check but, I am not aware of what that is.

Thanks for any help and support.

@gaspar Oh thanks! I'll take a look

Hi I had a similar thread a few months ago. Whereas ISADORA does not "directly" allow to receive osc messages on different ports, on V4 you can do so using the pythoner. @DusX sent a patch to do so. 

I don't yet have V4 and haven't tried it. I on my mobile phone right now and don't know how to link to my former query, but you should be able to find it in this forum searching for OSC and NGIMU.

Good luck

Use the initialise value setting in the property that you adjusting with the slider.
In this example I am initialising the scale of the shape controlled by the slider at 75%
So when you enter the scene the scale of the shape will be 75% and this is reflected in the control panel by the position of the slider (and the value shown underneath). (please note that in this example I have set the maximum value of the shape's scale to 100)

So in other words you determine the value NOT in the control panel but in the actor itself.

In this example the slider has control value 1 and is controlling the scale of the shapes actor:

Click on the word "scale" and you get the dialogue box that lets you initialise the value of that property. Put in the value you want it to be when you enter the scene and make sure the 'initialize' is ticked.

@vttdo you mean that when a scene is entered, that each slider (in the control panel) is set to a random value?this can be achieved by adding an 'Enter Scene Trigger' connected to a 'Random' actor, connected to whatever input each Slider is linked to. Make sure that in the control panel, each slider is set to 'Show Value of Linked Properties' (right-click the slider and edit the Control Settings)

When entering the scene, each silder should have a certain value. How is that to be done?
