Isadora 3.... is..... live....

Woland

Question about the Plugins page: Some plugins say that they are 64 bit, some 32. If it doesn't mention it, are we to assume that the plugins are 64 bit?

If it doesn't mention it, you can comment on it and ask the plugin's author. User Actors and Macros for Isadora 2 can be read by Isadora 3.

A little reminder for long time Isadora users: QuickTime is no longer part of Isadora for Windows. That means Apple Pro Res and legacy codecs like QuickTime's Animation codec will no longer play on the Windows version of Isadora. The new cross platform standard for Isadora 3 is HAP: HAP .mov files or HAP .avi files play beautifully on both platforms, and also offer the best performance in terms of usability. That said, Isadora 3 on Windows can play the full range of codecs offered by Windows Media Foundation, including H264. A full list of those codecs can be seen here.

And here's this (from the release notes which will be coming tomorrow)

Officially Supported Formats for Video Media Playback

hap.mov
hapQ.mov (High Quality)
hapA.mov (Alpha Channel)
hap.avi
hapQ.avi (High Quality)
hapA.avi (Alpha Channel)
photoJPEG.avi
photoJPEG.mov
Apple ProRes 442.mov (Mac OS only)
Appel ProRes 4444.mov (Mac OS only, Alpha Channel)
.wmv (Windows only)
H264.mp4 (Does not support interactive playback, e.g. reverse speeds or scrubbing)
H264.mov (Does not support interactive playback, e.g. reverse speeds or scrubbing)
Mp3 - Audio only

Thank's to keep this tool alive and usefull.

I have two questions :

Do we need to be between 10.10 and 10.13 ? No compatibility with Mojave ?

Do previous Isadora users need to buy upgrades ???

I have often to use other tools in France, like Modulo or Millumin because Productions chose them but my heart belongs to Isadora from the beginning...

and I hope this community will shine and seduce again !

That's a typo on the store. It is compatible with and has been tested continuously on Mojave.

Bravo Mark, You and your team have done a big work together, long life to Isadora!

@mark: Excellent. Y'all are the best!!

Fantastic, opening it for the first time 1 minute ago felt like unwrapping an early Christmas present! Thank you so much Mark et al, I haven’t even begun to scratch the surface yet but the fact that both my internal BM cards are selectable outputs is great. And native NDI too! Well done everyone involved.

Thanks Mark and the whole team. Just ported my current show across mid-tech with no issues whatsoever, and the speed increase is evident!

@citizenjoe

If it does not say 32bit or 64bit in the title it will mostly work for version 2 and 3. You can see if its compatible if you open the plugins page.

@woland I’m on Mojave and was having mad crashes. Already 100x more stable.

Hi,

The good ship Isadora 3 has arrived, I really look forward to exploring these lands at NiTE. Congratulations Capt. Coniglio and your glorious crew for steering us through the maelstrom. I didn't realise it would be such a bumpy ride, but then things got beta and beta.

best wishes,

Russell

Thanks for the great work and don't worry, even apple with thousands of employees doesn't get it to bring a release without bugs.

We had a message on the get-it page about this; Last night, @barneybroomer found a critical bug (thanks Barney) and so we had to take it down, fix it, test it, and put up a new version: 3.0.1

It's there now. Go to the "get it" page to download

Best Wishes,

Just like Isadora 2, there is a separate installer for the USB version of Isadora 3.
