I've built another animation station that captures stage to JPG, loads them into the media bin, and scrolls through the captures with a Picture Player. I'm running a Pulse Generator at around 2.5Hz to trigger the Add of a Counter to scroll through the last 50 images. BUT - there's always a black frame or 2. The media thumbnails are all showing images, but sometimes one or two of these images will not load, and I get a black frame instead of the image. It's pretty random, with different frames not working each time the loop runs.
Does anyone have any ideas of how to maximise efficiency and make sure every picture loads correctly.

(I tried adding a Picture Preload into the system, but it kept crashing Isadora)

This is brilliant. A big step up for Izzy. 

I just added a new color-grading project file to the Add-Ons page.

It includes a number of useful User Actors.

• DX - GLSL - Apply Lut to Video - (GLSL based, applies a LUT image to a video stream with numerous options)
• DX - PY - Load .Cube for Color Grading - (Python based, converts .cube files to LUT image)
• DX - PY - Browse for File (win+mac) - (Python based, opens a file browser and returns the full filepath)
• DX - PY - Save Video Frame as PNG - (Python based, allows the saving of a video frame as a PNG. Used here to save cube conversions for project inclusion)

Python requirements: A virtual environment with numpy must be created and used. (learn how)

PLEASE, let me know if you have success or trouble with the process here, so I can continue to improve each actor as needed.

@woland, I wasn't sure how to incorporate the hold range and scale actor. I created what appears to be a workaround, as I am now receiving a signal. What issues do you see this workaround potentially causing?

@woland , Yes, I’m aware that they are separate accounts, and even though I’ve already created one, it won’t let me access it — I keep getting a 'Login failed. Wrong username/password combination' message, and when I try to reset the password, I get an error as well. I’m not sure what’s going on, so I’m adding it here just in case someone wants a dark mode.

Hallo Hallo,

I am trying to export a stage with alpha channel and I am setting the codec to ProRes444.

It doesn't seem to work though. The file in the end doesn't have alpha. Does anyone know why?

Thanks

Elena

You'd have to ask the ever-wonderful @DusX as I am afraid of snakes*

I could not get a matching set of resolutions for each display area, perhaps because of the different model projectors.

Just re-reading this now and for anyone reading this in future, in my experience, the Matrox TH2G DP editions don't like it when you connect displays that don't all have matching resolutions, and I think they even suggest connecting three displays that are all the exact same make and model.
