I need to very soon be able to export my work into a video

 One option that can help, is to use a 3rd party screen recorder (I sometimes use OBS studio) to capture and record a stage output. This allows Isadora to focus on rending the output, and provides a completely separate process (and very optimized) for recording. I have found this useful when I am pushing the LOAD on Isadora to the max.
Another trick I use is the add User Actor On/Off to all my user actors, and disable them when not in use, this can lower CPU processing a lot depending on your patches logic.

@eva

check that you are using the same resolution throughout your patch. hover your mouse over vid gpu patchlines to see a preview of the signal. check that everything matches, and if there's any differences, you can try using a Scaler straight after the Movie Player that's playing the wrong resolution.

hello there

I have surprisingly managed to overload my mac studio... 

I have 1 scene where I put my whole project of videos controlling when they apear with keyboard and korg nano controll to make a longer flow. But now I see its overloaded and I need to very soon be able to export my work into a video... so is there a quick fix for this? Especially I need to make sure I can make a smooth recording:) 

Would if help to cut it in parts and put them in 3 scenes e.g. and merge them in a video program?

Is it simply having many video actors in there even if they are set to off? Or is it only the ones that are on that use space? 

Im a bit confused and this came as a surprise just before export. I never managed to overload an M1 before:D

Im trying to understand the cause:)

Please help.   Less time consuming work is very apreciated but knowledge for next time is also good:)

All the best

Eva

All the best and thanks :)

In my project I want to show different interview video sequences spontaneously. So I thought I could put all the video snippets in one scene, connect each of the snippets with its own keyboard watcher and could start them with the keyboard in the right moment during the show. 

Now I have the problem that all videos start at the beginning of the scene and I don't know where to switch this off...

I would also be happy to hear about other ideas how to manage the Triggering of different video snippets in one scene :) 

Thanks for the help!

Hello :) I have to questions about Video Fade-In and Fade-Out:

1. How do I Fade-In a Video? 

2. In the end I want the video to Fade-Out. I already succeeded the following: the video is played, than it stops with a last frozen picture and fades out, which looks very strange. 

As it is an interview with a talking person, it would be nice if the Fade-Out would start during the last words already, so that the Fade-Out-Process would be finished with the end of the last phrase=the video itself. 

Can anybody describe how to realize that? Thank you!

@eva

Is this all sorted or do you still need assistance?

@dcmp

I would be happy to put something together for you. Please just try to describe what You are trying to accomplish clearly so I can put this together in a useful way for you.
Is there a specific part of the video you want to control the lights? What is the light effect you are trying to get?

@dusx

Thanks! Since I'm still very unfamiliar with the actors, would you be able to point me in the direction of which actors to use for this and how they would be connect in the patch? 

Really appreciate your help!

I got in touch with the lovely folks at Rokoko, and they've now added a tutorial to their website on how to connect Rokoko Studio Live with Isadora: https://support.rokoko.com/hc/en-us/articles/42904491647889-Livestream-to-Isadora
