It sounds like you have a lot of items on your HD. 1hr of HD video is about 10GB and your buffer is probably getting overloaded etc.

If you can free up some space, you might have more chance of getting a record but nonetheless, try the OBS/wirecast route and hopefully it will record a better copy without stressing your remaining space.

hi Eamo,

Thank you! I am on a mac studio M1. Today I tried to record directly in Isadora with 55gb space left. After about 25 minutes I got a message that there was not enough space to proceed. So I am a bit surprised and try to find solutions. 

It is only ghe visual I need. 

All the best

Hi Eva

Without knowing much more and in the interim of awaiting better minds to come along, would it make sense to pipe your isadora feed into OBS or similar?

Maybe by making the recording there it might lessen the size and strain on your computer? You can achieve this via syphon or NDI?

It would probably be better to record direct to your internal drive versus an external one too. 

Without a greater picture of your machine specs and patch, that is what I would try first. I have never recorded directly in Isadora. 

If you wish to have the audio too, you need a piece of software called, BlackHole. This will help route the audio internally to OBS etc. I believe you still need this app or similar to route audio for recording. 

My 2cents

Hope this helps.

hello,

I need to record 1 hour in HD quality, a live show in isadora, but it seems it consumes a lot of space. Can somone help me how to do that? Can I maybe place it somehow on my ssd drive that has usb ( not usb c)?

All ghe best Eva

Did you close and re-open Isadora? It won't remap the python environment until that is done. 
I assume you have watched these tutorials: Using the Pythoner Actor – Do More in Isadora with Python - YouTube

NOTE: Python is not initialized in Isadora until a Pythoner actor is added to the project. You can update the 'environment activation file' and restart Isadora, and the Python Virtual Environment setting under the Help menu will appear GRAYED OUT & (Awaiting Activation) until the Pythoner actor is added to the project. 

I am new to Isadora and I am working to integrate some Python code using the Pythoner actor. The concepts and practices I saw in the Youtube tutorials and the documentation make sense. However, I am having trouble with the creation of Virtual Environments on Mac OS and Isadora 4.

I created a virtual environment using the provided Apple script and the script to activate it. However, Isadora says "Awaiting Activation". I attached the screenshot for the view in Isadora as well as the current ActiveVirtualEnvironmentPath.txt file. Am I missing a setup step?

Thanks!

@ubik Thanks for sharing...loved the Fluid UV Distort !

Please also note that the Domain Warp Feedback-shaders work like this:
Connect the video output to an empty GLSL shader and then back to the input.

lovely, thanks for sharing. the GLSL reference didn't attach - you may need to zip it to get the forum software to accept it.

We'd love it if you'd upload this to the Add-Ons Page so these wonderful tools don't get buried in the forum.
(There's a link in my signature.)

 I'll make sure to do that!

The link or document this references didn't connect. What was it?

 It was an .md file. I've uploaded it as a .zip now.

@ubik fantastic! Thank you for sharing with the Izzy community.
