<![CDATA[[ANSWERED] automating Syphon output recording?]]>so I'm using Syphon a lot to record audiovisual output from Izzy & elsewhere. I improvise with my audiovisual tools and grab sections either as finished clips or editable segments. It's rough, but it works because Syphon is a great, stable tool. Blackhole sorts out my audio perfectly.

Shifting between 'wares and watching the clock to start and stop the recording is imprecise, though, and interrupts the improvisational workflow, so I would really like to automate the recording start-stop and to vary the period between the start-stop keystroke commands.

I had a workable thing going on with a tool called MidiStroke recommended by someone here (thanks @jandraka ) assigning 'alt-Cmd-R' to a Midi value, and using an Izzy-based timer to send triggers. But this no longer works in Ventura, and it was a bit unstable.

Can anyone suggest some options? Is there another way to get Izzy to send out keystrokes to Mac OS within a specified period? Or an external tool?


thanks for any thoughts

true. i think may have done something to activate permissions for MidiStroke while going through all the processes for CommandPost, because the timing was so perfect. Unexpected result, but a good one...

In Ventura, there are quite a few issues with apps that are not signed and have restricted access. MidiStroke needed to give manual access to keyboard input. The same thing happened to me with NDISyphon to access the microphone.

a strange thing - i checked MidiStroke to remind me of my workflow before replicating it with this, and now it works! So I will stick with it. But I am checking out CommandPost now. Seems like a useful intermediate tool.


many thanks
