Sound watcher

I am trying to use the sound watcher to react to the sound of the video played in the scene but it only wants to listen to my camera feed. any suggestion?

The Sound Level and Sound Frequency actors only work with audio sources coming from Live Capture. In order to do sound level and frequency analysis on canned audio, you'll need to use virtual audio routing. If you want to hear the sound from the playback at the same time, you'll need to create a multi-output device where one output is the virtual audio routing destination (like iShowUCapture or Blackhole) and the other output is your physical sound output. You'd then select the multi-output device as Isadora's audio device in the Audio Panel, (go to the top menu and select View > Audio, then change the device at the bottom left of the main application window in the Audio View), after which you should select your virtual audio routing software as one of your audio sources in Input > Live Capture > Sound Input > Device. With that done you can perform sound level and frequency analysis on your canned audio.
