Thanks you very much

Bonjour Mathilde,

Bienvenue dans la communauté Isadora et merci de votre intérêt pour le logiciel !
Actuellement, nous ne proposons pas de cours de formation en français. Nous envisageons d'ajouter du matériel supplémentaire en français dans un avenir proche, c'est une discussion active au sein de l'entreprise.

Merci encore pour votre intérêt, et n'hésitez pas à poser vos questions sur le forum s'il y a des choses que vous aimeriez savoir.

Bonne journée à tous !

Please try an older version of the Black Magic software/drivers. We believe something was changed that has stopped 2.6 from seeing the drivers. 

@michel Awesome thanks for the clarification.

You could always look online for another FFGL plugin that is 64bit or a GLSL Shader that does a similar thing.

First of all, thanks very much to everyone who answered, that's what I love about this forum.

Special thanks to @Woland for your long and specific answer.

I've been doing some testing on these things, I post what I found in case somebody else finds it useful:

- The error in 2.6.1 was indeed caused by my 3D models, but not by the file itself, rather than the path. For some reason, if I put the 3D files in my desktop, Isadora has no trouble, but whenever the files are inside any folder, the error window pops up.

- The mouse watcher error only happens with an imported 2.6.1 patch. The mouse watcher works as expected in Izzy 3 if you make a new patch, but it doesn't if you open an old file. Maybe if I was able to save it (updating it in the process) it would behave correctly afterwards, but I have no way of knowing this... yet.

- As for the Blur taking up a lot of CPU usage, I found out that a missing FreeFrame plugin could be the actual problem. After I installed the FFMotionBlur (which was in the 32-bit plugins folder but not in the 64-bit one) the scene runs in Izzy 3 more or less the same way than in Izzy 2.

Thanks again everybody. I think I will be updating to Isadora 3 very soon, since it's clearer now than the problems were more closely related to using Izzy 2 in Mojave and I really want to try some of the new features (like Blind Mode and such). Cheers.

Here is the image file. 

Even though you say you are running Isadora v3, this error. would indicate otherwise.

Instead, it seems that you are attempting to run Isadora v2 on Catalina, which is not possible because it is a Isadora v2 is 32 bit app and Catalina will only run 64 bit apps. (macOS Mojave and older ran both 32 and 64 bit apps.)

This error is described on this page from Apple where it says "When you attempt to open a 32-bit app, you will see an alert that the app needs to be updated to work with this version of macOS, or that the app is not optimized for your Mac and needs to be updated." It shows the same dialog you attached above.

You must upgrade to Isadora v3 if you want to run Isadora under Catalina. You can download the latest version of Isadora 3 from our "get it" page.

Best Wishes,

No worries. It's a complex program, and I'll be the first to admit that I often ask for help with it. There's always more to learn :)

@dillthekraut I wanted to have the movie loop at the position it is playing at a particular moment. the patch repeat2.izz I posted above archieves that, I guess now there are two solutions for the same problem.

Just to clarify for anyone who reads this thread in the future, the demo version's only limitation is that one cannot save; it is not missing any actors.

Skulpture, I think that the GPU really did the trick. Either that, or a combination of better lighting and brighter clothing made the effect go away. Thank you all for your responses!

Happy to help :)

The spout error is related to internal video card settings, and is something that should be dealt with. 
Although Spout is included with Isadora, the official package will provide 2 executables, a sender and reciever. It might be useful to run these and see if you get the same error.
This error is often related to video card switching, so it may be required to into the nVidia control panel, to the 3D section, and define that isadora.exe only use the dedicated graphics card.
A step further is what Fred recommended, and disabling the onboard video card in the bios. This is not always required, so first test after setting isadora.exe to use only the high performance/dedicated card.

@michel it's odd - it was set at 1280 x 720. I'm still getting the aliasing when I set the shader to a low resolution. It's tough to find that balance of a clean dither and a lo-res look.

Hey Brian,

This support article on how to delete and reset your Isadora Preferences should solve your issue. 

If not, please submit a support ticket using the link in my signature.

I am new to Isadora and am having trouble with video playback. When a video is playing it will play one or twice through the video and then stop. Other actors will keep working - like wave generator. 

I am on a MacBook Pro (mid 2014) with 2.8 ghz Intel Core i5 with 16 GB of memory. Currently running OS 10.13.3

I have Isadora 2.5.1. 

I have tried using video clips saved in MPEG-4 and Apple ProRes 422. Certainly wondering if another format would be better. 

I am also having trouble when I "Pause Engine" it will often not allow me to "resume engine" nor quite the program and I have to "force quite" the application and restart. 

Any suggests would be most welcomed!

thanks. 

Thank you jhoepffner!

That is what i needed!

merci,

this course has the right level for me ......

Hello,

I manipulate many text for show and the best way, for me, is a special Quartz Composer patch able to open and parse an XML text. With that I can have a very precise control on what Is screened. The only problem is you have to make your text in QC (size, place etc.) and send image to Isadora. It's possible to send text, but accent (like in french) are very badly interpreted between QC and Isadora. Mark, a data array with text? :-) or a XML paser? here is a sample of a QC patche, and an XML. I use it for a performance with multilingual subtitles Hope that help Jacques Hoepffner

Dear Mark,

I was running for the evil clowns the last couple of days, but I am back and managed to grap the file. I just tried it again and now it seems to work. I didn't change a thing in my project. But anyway, here is the file I used to test it. I can imagine that it makes finding the problem a bit difficult. Thanks!

Adri
