[ANSWERED / SOLVED] No stage output on Isadora 3.0.7

[jserembe]

I have a movie player attached to a projector with the video playing (I can hear it playing). But I cannot see it. No visual at all.  What am I doing wrong?

It is an mp4, 835x1200 pixels (vertical video).

@jserembe

Are your stages showing? Menu -> output-> show stages? (Or ctrl/Cmd + G)

[jserembe]

@mark_m Yes, but I get a blank screen.

Codec is H264 from Premiere

I also tried HAP exporting a 1920x1080 video. Still no image on the stage. But I can hear it playing.

Hi,

Have you seen any other videos working in Isadora on your system?

Here is a test patch, linked below, that plays a video and another scene with a non-video animation. You can download and try this patch to see if it works on your system? If you are seeing the 'rosette' video try placing your video into the video bin and playing it through the test patch. Does it appear or not?

@bonemap I have played videos in Isadora before - but not for awhile. Have updated since then. The text video does not play either.

Hi,

OK, let's reset Isadora preferences on your system.  Please try to following the directions for resetting Isadora preferences here:

I see you are using Isadora 3.0.7. 

Can you provide your computer system information i.e. what model and year, what Operating System number?

 Hi,

That sounds like a really capable machine. If you are not in the middle of preparing for a show you could consider upgrading Isadora to the latest version 3.1.1. and see if that helps.

However, if you require to continue working with Isadora 3.0.7, I suggest you open a support ticket and get the team to assist you with finding a solution.

@bonemap OMG - the update did it. Genius. Thanks so much for your assistance!

Version 3.0.7 will not work on Big Sur (no output on the stage). If you have Big Sur you have to upgrade Isadora.
