Stage setup Edge-Blending loosing parameter

Michel

Yes I see the same bug, could you file a proper bug report? Only that way we can keep track of the bugs. See the link in my siganture.

The workaround for now: use the "Global Edge Blend Mask" actor, you only have to place it in the first scene and the settings will be available in all scenes.

Thanks, the report is send

I try to have less impact the exiting patch and reduce my extra work to a minimum. There are some more paramter compare to Stagesetup. I ddin't find this actor in the new manual. Do you have some further discription to "Global Edge Blend Mask" actor?

I tested the "Global Edge Blend Mask" actor , but i am not able to see on the stages any change of grad. curves.

It is a bug too?

Sorry I don't have any further discription to the global edge blend mask. I just tried your setup and it works fine for me. In your first post you are talking about version 2.2. Are you using 2.2 or 2.2.2?

sommerdi

i have 2.2.2 running ... and i don't know, why it isn't working.
Maybe you can give me a hint, how i make a screenshot with stages on, that can send you shots from the stages

sommerdi

i find a way ... here is the screenshot with stages

@sommerdi

If you change the values directly with the numbers is it still the same?

@sommerdi

that is strange. I will post a bug report for you. Meanwhile try using the "edge blend mask" actor. Not the global one, place them in a user actor and then in every scene. If you then change the settings inside the user actor in the first scene click update all when you are prompted to while closing. Does this work for you?

Best Michel

sommerdi

this is working .... thanks.
I had have a strange behavior in the beginning .... i deleted the global actor, but the grey-scale was still there ... and the "edge blend mask" doesn't work in this aera. After restart izz everything was fine ...

thanks for your support

... after one day testing and extra adpation work .. my positive hope from the first test is gone .... it is realy not stable .... sometime it is ok, but mainly not. So it is working by change ..... i haven't found the systematic ...sometime the actors assign only to stage one , you can change the number without any impact or when you like to change the right egde the change will happen on the left ... it is a mess ... sorry, the patch was proofen, stable and running in different setups

My next performance is on Thursday and i need urgend a stable setup. I would like to go back to stable release, how i can i find the prev. releases? Can i have two release in parallel?

best regards from a fustrated one

Michel

@sommerdi

I am not having this inconsistency with the normal "edge blend mask" if you change the curve you must be sure that you have selected left or right on the top right of the actor. You can download version 2.0.5 from the troikatronix website, you can select it from the dropdown menu. http://troikatronix.com/download/isadora-download/

@ Michel

i will have next week more time to continue and come back, for the moment i like to step back.

I appreciate your efforts and support, Thanks

@ Michel

on 2.1 everything is fine again ....
one further question, did you test with projectors or on Mac-display with multiple stages?
I see a difference. It looks like on display ok, but not with projectors.

Diether

Michel

@sommerdi

Yes I only tested with stage preview not with attached projectors.

Best Michel

sommerdi

@ Michel,

now i am in the development of a next new production with multt projectors and i have to decide in which version.
I already had place in the bugreport my question for a bugfix timeline . No reply ... Maybe you have an idea of a first timeline. This would be very supporting for my decision.

@sommerdi

sorry I can't tell you when that bug gets fixed, but as well that it will be soon.
