Best Isadora Tutorial Videos?
-
I'm excited about learning Isadora for interactive installation and performance. Currently, I use Resolume in performance and love the "audio reactive" effects, and manually trigger motion filter effects inspired by the other performers / musicians.
I plan to create an experience with Isadora where a performer's motion will active different videos / sounds. Does anyone have suggestions for the best tutorial videos that cover these topics? Thanks!

I'll quickly plug my own tutorial here: Build It! Video Step Sequencer - YouTube
I think my Build It series will give you the best overview of 'building' modular elements that you can reuse (user actors). They are longer walk throughs but do offer some great insights into how Isadora works.
