Capture stage shows distorted image

@Eva

Have you tried to make a screenshot with Syphon Recorder? Do you get then the same result?

I will have to try tomorrow, but why is this impossible in Isadora? I have quite some trouble with output and it is a strong computer.

I don't know why it is not working for you. I got following results without artefacts using Capture Stage to picture (here small size for web)

@eva

What is the resolution of your Stage?

[Eva]

Here is a syphon snapshot, its totally off... there is usually a black background.

 Can you do a test at the same resolution Eva is using (4880x1200)?
I have recently discovered some formats don't record for video (vertical for example), so perhaps there are image limitations as well?

@dusx @eva

the captured picture have 5760x1080 pixels. I made a try with 5760x1200 with no problem.

The only problem is that the image captured (Stage 1200px, original video 1080px) from Isadora has black bars at the top and bottom, whilst the output from Isadora fills the screen

I have managed to get snapshots through OBS, but its a bit of an extra piece of work, and not super handy.
