@mark_m Thanks! After a bit of chatgpting, I am also leaning toward Teradek Bolt. My use case is the multimedia lab whereby students move the projectors a lot and we got tired of fragile cable management. Also I noticed lately that theatres, even big venues are slowly moving to wireless hdmi.

@ray

Yes, both files need to be opened by the same version of Isadora. 
Open one izzy file, then use the file/open menu to open the other file.
When opened in the same version of Isadora you should be able to copy and paste scene from one to the other.

@eight

You will need to open your preferences folder, and delete "com.troikatronix.isadora.vst3-plugins.json"
That file holds the list of plugins. Isadora should scan for all VSTs again, and revalidate them. This can be a slow process for users with hundreds of VSTs.

@JAIO 

By default, Isadora will output video to each display at that display's resolution and refresh rate, so if your computer sees the display as a 1080p 60Hz screen, you don't need to do any additional configuration. 

You'll be able to see what Isadora sees your external display as in Output > Stage Setup

Here's an article on Stage Setup in Isadora (English).

Here's a video tutorial on Stage Setup in Isadora (English).

You may want to use the Zoomer actor or the FFGLPanSpinZoom actor to reposition your videos because a video with an aspect ratio of 16:9 is not going to 100% fit the shape of a screen with an aspect ratio of 2:1. In case you need to do any Projection Mapping to ensure that your content (with a 16:9 Aspect Ratio) fits nicely on your display (2:1 Aspect Ratio), here's a projection mapping Isadora tutorial video in Spanish.

In terms of general configuration for an Apple computer being used for an Isadora project/production, you can follow the setup steps in my macOS Isadora Show Computer Setup Guide (English) to turn off some pesky settings and such. (For German-speakers, here's an older macOS setup guide (German) by @SchaubühneVideo that may have some more technical steps that I didn't think of.)

@dusx 

Holaa, gracias por recomendarme to corrector de color, quizás lo pruebo estos días aunque ya convertí en Davinci a rec.709

😊

@jfg

I have two small suggestions for you.

First is @DusX updated  python tools, in the add-ons here. Like you I couldn't understand the first video, but this did help me get started.

And the other thing which has really helped me with Python is using AI. Specifically Claude Sonnet. I like that model particularly because it is good at explaining, which helps me to learn the process. 

When I'm starting a chat I:

ask it to add detailed comments to every line of code explaining what it does in plain English (am sure it's equally capable in other languages!).ask it for a "Step-by-step environment setup guide," including how to install the necessary libraries for my OS.

I just did this for Windows, and Claude Sonnet gave me verbose instructions. Including how and where to install all the necessary libraries, etc. I don't have time to try that all out right now, but will certainly give it a go later.

Meanwhile maybe this is useful...

best regards

Mark (not that Mark, in rainy London)

@ray sent you a chat message.

@jrhooker

Goodness me...

What happens if you connect the projectors to your MBP rather than the Mac Studio? Same result? 

@armando Hello Armando, thank you so much for your detailed reply. I am away on summer vacation but as soon as I’m back with Isadora and my ambisonic mic I’ll be pouring over your advice and I’ll let you know how things are progressing. Best wishes Simon

@michel

Late thanks for that: it opened just fine in the new version of TouchOSC and I've been poking about a bit, understanding how you made it. When we start work on the show again in a few weeks what you sent will be very, very useful! Thank you!!!

Absolutely fantastic. Thank you so much for the demo patch. It works just great.

should be able to play one mp4 (i know hap is better) ....???? are there any known incompatibility with izzy

Yes, but there are various ways that different software can spit out mp4 files. There are known issues with certain quirky things like embedded timecode tracks and the h265 codec (though that problem may be limited to Isadora 3 and older) that can cause issues in Isadora, which is why our first suggestion is always to transcode any media files that are misbehaving in Isadora.

@craigw said:

I used to be able to have a Videos and Pictures Tab at the top of the bin picker.

I don't think this was ever possible. I tried with 3.2.6 and 4.0.0 and it wasn't do-able in either of those.

It also wouldn't make sense functionality-wise because then the same Control ID would be used by Picture Players and Movie Players, but they use different kinds of media and those media have different index numbers that don't matter to the other kind of Player actor.

@zimt said:

is there a reason to run it in Rosetta ?

 The only real reason to run Isadora in Rosetta mode is to use the 'OpenNI Tracker' actor which is EOL.
The core libraries used for the OpenNI tracker, haven't been and will not be updated for use with Apple Arm processors, so the OpenNI Tracker can't be updated either unfortunately.

@zimt said:

is there a way to make numpy and openNI work in ARM mode?

Maybe, this configuration isn't tested. You may be able to install a python virtual environment via terminal forcing the process to run under x86_64.
That will give you an 'intel' version of Python, and if the version is exact (it is 3.12.10 currently) Isadora (running under Rosetta) may be able to use it, and when you install the required modules via PIP, you could use something like: 

arch -x86_64 /path/to/python3 -m pip install --only-binary=:all: numpy==2.5.2

to force the intel version of numpy to be installed.

...As I said, this is untested, and definitely a more advanced install/config. I would avoid it to be honest.

@bonemap

I have discovered that the issue is with Mac OS and that this is a common problem with touchscreen overlay devices using a Mac.

I have found this utility on Github that identifies and attempts to fix the issue:

@mark_m said:

Can I achieve this by hacking the preferences somehow?

 Unfortunately not. I believe Isadora binds to the first available device, which on PCs can change depending on config/build.

Do you want to start a support ticket, and I can dig into see if I can workout a workaround?

I think this add-on might be what you need: TROIKATRONIX : ISADORA - DX – Rotate Canvas

It uses Matte to create a new canvas at the required 'rotated' dimensions, and then drops the image into this new canvas. 

@woland

Sure, here we go:

Liveaudio 2 OSC:
https://alexxaudio.gumroad.com...

Audio-Automation 2 OSC:
https://alexxaudio.gumroad.com...

a workaround is to use a font with a capital version like Bodoni 72 and Bodoni 72 small caps and to switch between both.

Best regards
