Record Stage to disc - any limitations?

[bonemap]

Hi,

I was hoping to use Isadora’s 3D Particle module to render for a super wide projection blend. However, I was unable to create a custom Virtual Stage or custom Stage in Isadora’s Stage Setup at the required pixel ratio of 10930 x 1080. Although I was able to achieve a 10929 x 1080 Stage using an 8x1 option in Blend Maker. So it would seem I get half way there - but I have no customisation control of the stage pixel ratio at this scale through Stage Setup!

Is it intentional to have a hard limitation  on the resolution of custom Stages and Virtual Stages? I am preparing a room projection that will blend eight 1920 x 1080 projectors and had anticipated creating a particle field across this.

OK I get close using the Blend Maker. 

The next issue is that I don’t appear to be able to Record the 10930 x 1080 stage to movie. I had hoped to record the particle movie to Pro Res or at least MP4 but all my attempts end in an empty video file.

I could well be doing something wrong, but I have been using this technique with standard ratios without issue. 

Any ideas would be appreciated before I look elsewhere.

Best wishes,

Russell

Unfortunately, it's a hard-coded pixel limit you're running into. I've lobbied for increasing it in the past but we can add this to that feature request.

You could use OBS to record the output if you're able to get close to your goal using the Blend Maker.

Best wishes,

 YES! Thanks so much for that advice - I could capture at ProRes 4444 the full window, with a set-up time of about 5 min.
