<![CDATA[Live capture drivers]]>Hi there! 

I wonder if there is any way of getting the Blackmagic drivers to work efficiently in the Live Capture settings. As it is now Im just using Apples drivers, and with them I can't get 25p for example. It maxes out at 24p. In resolute arena I can get 25 and getting it to work like a charm. 

Do you guys have a work around?

Hope to get the camera to disk actor to work with BMD drivers in the future update of Isadora! All the best.

Or this actor captures the stage. If there's nothing on the stage, then it will be black I guess.

Great to hear that there is a work around! But how could I trigger the Capture Stage to Movie via osc? So that I could automate a flow from QLab? I just find the Capture Camera To Disk in the Video effects...

 Trigger it with OSC (or via MIDI with Note On) Listeners and send OSC or MIDI from QLab

A possible work around, is that you can record the stage (using 'Capture Stage to Movie'), so if you are able to output to a 'hidden' stage you can record from that location, and it behaves as expected.

I can confirm that this is a bug. I am able to reproduce this on my test system (PC) running 2.6.1

I am submitting the bug report.

I have made a video on my problem now. During this year I have sticked to cameras that output 24p. Then it works ok. But I want to try out cameras that just output 25p. and here is the video of the problem...Video of the problem


Hope anyone can point out why the recording does not work when using Black magic drivers! All the best. Erik

What problems did you have with them exactly? What capture device are you using?

I just selected 50i since that existed on the apple drivers. And that seem to work fine with 25p... 

So no 25p settings under apple drivers. But 50i worked in my case.

How did you double the frames? I have lots of hassle with my blackmagic driver too... Thx in advance!

Doubled the 25p to 50i and now it works : )

I just quote Benjamin "quick and dirty" session but I think he had done an extensive try to the possibilities…

I did some tests with Marks blackmagic implementation (not the apple drivers) and the black syphon path and I got the opposite effect (was faster using blackmagic drivers in Isadora). The delay and difference did change for different devices. Maybe one of the two is using a different version of the SDK.

Just have a try

This will give you what you are looking for.
