<div style="font-family:Arial, Verdana;font-size:10pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;line-height:normal">I am an Izzy noob, and using it on my first show.  Projected scenery - mostly still images with a few short video clips at the beginning of the show.</div>
<div>The software has begun freezing on me during the show.  I can't seem to re-create the freeze, even though I am recreating the show conditions pretty precisely.  I am not operating the show, so I am not present at the computer when it does freeze, but it has been consistent:  although not on the same scene every time.</div>
<div>I am using keyboard watchers and jump actors to navigate through the show.  I am using Isadora 1.3.0f24 on Windows 7 64bit on a 2.6Ghz machine with 6Gb of RAM, outputting through HDMI at 1920x1200.</div>
<div>I've attached my show file.  Can anyone explain what might be happening? </div>

<div>OK. Well the patch looks pretty straightforward. (Though, for what it's worth, those Pan Spin Zoom actors are a bit expensive CPU wise.) That being said, a couple of questions:</div>
<div>1) You're using a lot of pictures. Most of them are JPEG, but a couple are PNG. I wonder if the PNGs could be somehow causing trouble. If it's not a big deal, I'd change those PNGs to JPEGs just to see if it helps.</div>
<div>2) What is the resolution of those pictures -- if they are not consistent, then perhaps a range. A common mistake  is to use pictures that are _way_ beyond the resolution of the video projector. (Often, people just are thinking about it; they export from their camera software and import into Isadora; but the resolutions are like 4096 x 3192 or whatever. Those are big images to load, and not necessary since the projectors at most are 1920 x 1200.)</div>
<div>3) The main movie clips are AVI files. I assume you have the "Windows Native Playback" option turned on in the Isadora Preferences?</div>
<div>Let me know if any of these suggestions help or trigger an insight for you.</div>
<div>
<div>Best Wishes,</div>
<div>Mark</div>
