      Dear Stefanie,

      I took a look at your patch -- emailed you privately about that. But as far as the Stage Preview goes, I played set the stage to 768 x 576, played a movie, and the image appears perfectly within it. I set the Stage Preview Thumbnail Resolution to 360 x 270 -- is that what you used? (That would be my suggestion if not.)
      I was however testing with 10.6.8\. I won't have access to 10.8 until tomorrow.
      I will try it again then.
      Best Wishes,

        I'm looking at it now Mark.
        The only possible conflict I can see is having a Core CI Projector and normal projector? Can that in someway knock alignment out?
        The patch is crashing for me also... as soon as I load a video into the bottom movie player. But the top one plays fine. It's only when the second movie player is active.
        I will keep investigating.

          Dear Skuplture,

          RE: "having a Core CI Projector and normal projector" -- that is very unlikely. It's something else, but I can repro the problem.

            Graham sent me your patch to see if I find the reason for the crash. It seems to me that the video fader actor is the problem, is there a reason why you are using the video fader instead of changing the intensity of the projector? as soon I delete the video fade actor and attach the "image to video" direct to the projector it doesn't crash anymore. Also crashing with version 1.3.0f32.

              I also suggested using a video mixer but leave one input blank. So you are mind of fading into black/nothing. It's a trick I use sometimes.

                Dear All,

                I discovered a bug in the most recent versions of Isadora (f32) where the output of the Image to Video actor was causing some problems with certain actors, e.g., the Video Fader. (This has to do with the fact that the bytes for each row of video has to be a multiple of 64 to get the very best performance -- some Isadora actors weren't ready to deal with this.)
                I've updated the effected actors and will make a new upload in the next couple of days.
                But the weird business with the Stage Preview is still not solved. I've not been able to repro the problem. I'm in touch with Stefanie about this?

                  dear mark,

                  thank´s again for giving me support before the show!! you saved my ...
                  the preview issue is still going on. during the performance, the stage was screened via a projector and the preview looked good. i thought it might have to do with my external monitor. but today i pluged it to another monitor and just now to my cinema display and i do see the same (not matching) result on all of them. also there is no difference between vga and dvi.
                  for my next project i switched to hd 1280x720 16:9 format. unfortunately it doesn´t match either as you can see on the attached pict. the lines should cover the whole screen.
                  all the best,
                  stefanie

                      wDear Stefanie,

                      Is it possible for you to create a simple project that includes the media causing this problem for you? If you are using a movie, then you can trim them down to 1 second or something to reduce the size. I've tried a number of combinations and I just can't seem to reproduce this.

                      The simpler the file, the better.

                      Best Wishes,

                        dear mark,

                        i did some testing. the preview size looks good if no external monitor is connected. as soon as i do connect an external monitor the preview is deformed.
                        this is happening on mountain lion as well as on my old laptop with snow leopard.
                        i´ll be sending you the testfile right now.
                        thank´s, all the best,
                        stefanie
