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

Celio.

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.

Has anyone managed to download it yet? I'm still getting a 404 when I click the link. I'm just checking it isn't just me :)

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.

@mark Great, thank you! When I was on the "Get it" page myself, it was still linking to version 3 and not 3.01. Its working fine from your link though :)

Well I changed it only a little while ago so probably it was still 3.0 when you went first and then I changed it. Anyway, glad you got it.

Best Wishes,

I'm happy to see Isadora 3 came alive, but after a short test I still registered a weakness in sound actors, only 16 bit and 41000, and no wav files can be imported?!?

I hoped to find some improvements in audio.

Best and still in hope

Congratulations to the entire team on the release, and thank you Mark for an awesome piece of software. It has definitely helped transform the art of projection design and has been a staple of my craft for nearly 15 years. Thank you for all of the hard work over the years.

The entire system for the sound actors had to be gutted and rebuilt from scratch using a different library called SoLoud because of the removal of Quicktime. More advanced sound support is on our to-do list, but video is Isadora's bread and butter so that's where our focus was when creating Isadora 3.

Wave files should import. Please submit a support ticket using the link in my signature to include the details of your system so we can see if we can reproduce your issue.

I'm in Mac Os 10.13.6 and I can import a 48.000 kHz 16bits wav file. Isadora reads the file without problems. Maybe in Windows it's different.

I'm running Mojave on a MacBook Pro 2018. I can't import wav files with 48000 Hz. in 24 bit which I think is usual for film audio. I'm doing sound and video in a theater in Berlin, and I use and get a lot of sound in that format, which I always have to convert. Importing a movie which audio has 48kH and 32bit it works fine, but only audio is not possible.

Thanks for this. That's amazing new and I can't wait to get stuck in.
I'm not certain which version I need to buy though. I've had isadora for 2 years, but I upgraded to a USB key on the 1st of April 2018. Does that mean i should upgrade using the option for those who bought a license after the 28th of March? I don't totally understand that and whether the upgrade counts as that.

You upgraded to a USB Key recently but you purchased your license two years ago, therefore the March Deal does not apply to your license.
