Blocking video

miaverlaine

Hello,
What's the best to block an area on a stage or on a video so that no video is projected in this area?
Thanks!

Is the area rectangular?

There's two areas, an oval and a circle.
Best,
Mia.

Well, Matthew's solution won't totally work without using an alpha channel.

See the attached patch for an example.

Thanks. I can't seem to find the hardware accelerated rending option in the preferences though? I'm using USB key version1.3.0f24

It's working! Thank you, much appreciated :) Hope you're having a cosy sunday evening.

The Hardware Accelerated Rendering option was removed from Isadora some years ago. It's always on now.

Best Wishes,
