[ANSWERED] Resolution Drop when using Alpha Mask in Isadora 3.2.6
-
Hi all!
About to open doors for a show of mine that has been touring. Suddenly seeing an issue that drastically reduces the resolution of my images when put through Alpha Mask. When I replicate on my laptop/Izzy 4 there is no problem. This has never been an issue with this show/version of Izzy. All photos are the same aspect ratio. Laptop we are using is running Monterey 12.6.2 - 2020 Macbook Pro 13-inch.
Any thoughts?

Best guess is that the media you're using as a mask is a lower resolution than the media you are putting the mask onto? By default the video preferences will scale to the smallest image when combining videos. If you go to Preferences and select the video tab you'll see a set of pulldown options to change how Isadora processes the video when combing videos. Changing this to "Scale to Largest Image" may resolve your issue?
Good luck.

I realize this doesn't come in time for your show, but the third Scene of this file might be helpful in understanding how to preserve higher resolutions when mixing content together:
