Is it right that the Orbec  is a better camera for this

 I wouldn't say its a better camera, in regards to how it works with OpenNI.
The orbec camera is smaller, newer, and feels more solid (it wasn't made for a game/toy), but the tracking and usage of the camera is very similar.
I beleive the Orbec and Kinect have similar resolutions. The Kinect V2, does offer improved tracking/resolution due using a different technology than the others.

audio mixing actor within Isadora as my patch affects the mix in real time rather than it being pre-set

 Yes, this is external, and right now I don't know of any internal option for PC. (the Sound Player has great multichannel support but can't mix incoming tracks).
It is possible to control this software via MIDI, so you can control the mix via the external software in this way.

@jfg

Amazing, that did the trick! At least in the english UI I used 'Rewrap'. It now runs flawless. Thank you!

@dillthekraut

never mind. Found this thread.

Any update for this?

rather large show (300+ video cues)

 There is currently a max width for the scenelist. It is something we plan to address, but for now, the only workaround to this issue is to minimize the horizontal width taken up by the Scenelist by using shorter names for the scenes. It really comes down to making each scene tile smaller, so that you can fit more.

When opening the setup screen the window is slow to "populate" various panes in the window. When clicking on an option the window takes a couple of seconds to respond to any commands. Even exiting the stage setup window takes a while to respond to the quit command. I am using Isadora as a digital cinema, using the movie player and projector actor to send video  to a digital projector. All this seems to work fine and I have created a control panel to allow inexperienced operators use the system with ease, so they can play/pause a movie and jump back and forth to various scenes in the show. The pc is a donated tower running an I5 processor with 8 GB of RAM. I'm not sure what graphics card it is using, probably the on board graphics adapter. Does anyone have a reason or solution as to why the stage setup screen is behaving the way is? I have second PC which is only a pentium 75 with 8GB of RAM which runs isadora fine without this problem. 

Hey I'm having trouble with the cue list editor/cuesheet. its behaving strangley and I'm thinking it has to do with the machine I'm on becuase it worked fine on a similar mac pro just last week. 

Sometimes the Advanced Cue Sheet go only keeps triggering the first cue in a scene instead of jumping to the next one down on the list, it's as if it got stuck on it. Also seemingly at random, when I make any changes to the cue in the cue list editor (eg. the description) it often doesnt save them. Meaning when I make a change and click on a different cue or go to a different izzi scene and then go back it's like it never happened. I have to make the change, click on description click on the next cue and go back to check if it stuck sometimes making the change about 4 times before it's saved...

its Izi 3.2.4 running on a mac pro high sierra 10.13.6

thanks in advance.

In other words, not re-wrapping the HAP encoded .movs but actually transcoding from ProRes to HAP .avi?

 There is a known issue in Shutter Encoder (actually part of ffmpeg) that puts the wrong timing onto rewrapped hap avi files. (I think they play at double speed... something like that)
Try creating them fresh as @mark_m suggested.

@video-architect

As @fubbi has mentioned, it is likely a alpha pre-multiplication issue. You can quickly try switching the 'alpha mode' on the Movie Player, and see if that corrects it.
If that doesn't you can add an 'Alpha Tool' after your movie player, and try the different 'actions' it offers. 

If some quick trial and error doesn't do it you may need to dig deeper (link Fubbi provided is a good start)

I've just realized that my version of Isadora 2 is attempting to open the file instead of Isadora 3

 You can right-click these menu icons, and select 'open file location'. In the folder that opens will be these 2 Isadora shortcuts.. If you check properties on them you can determine which is for Isadora 3 and for Isadora 2.. then rename them accordingly. These Icons will then show-up in your menu with the name you gave them..
I do this with every beta version I install, so that I can have dozens of Isadora versions installed. 

For what it's worth, every time I've had output freezing in Windows, it's a CODEC issue. Maybe try converting the video to HAP Codec and see if that helps? If you need a way to do that, Shutter Encoder is great.

Cheers,

@citizenjoe

When you file the report could you please include the file and tell us what Scenes to move and where in order to replicate the problem? 

This is bizarre. I've never heard of anything like this.

@dusx Thank you very much for your reply

I thought it would work like this: the layer functionality decides the sequence in wich the video feeds are stacked opon each other and then the Izzymap will distort all of the layers acording to the mappping i made. Is that right?

I have the same ProjectorActors in a UserActor through out all of my scenes so that i can change the projection mapping from day to day. This UserActor has an UserInput to define the Layer, so it can be different for different source material.

Here are screenshots from the problem with the motion blur:

The Video before the motion blur is transparent and after the motion blur it's just black. The Input is a Text Draw, so I suppose it should have an alpha, right?

And here after the motion blur:

what am i missing?

Does a patch without source material help you? It's all quite messy, since I had to build it without real knowledge of Isadora and a tight deadline.

@dusx 

Yup that was it, thank you so much! It's always a setting somewhere that I miss...

I can repro the crashes reliably if I link two computers above by having them connected to a hot spot on my iphone.

 Aha! We were sitting in the tech meeting today trying to figure out "How do we create a spotty NDI connection on purpose so we can test this?". Thanks for the insight 🙂

Updating to Windows 10 solved the problem.

Thanks

Years ago before the creation of PJlink actor, I did the projector control with TCPIP actors.  Do I need to go back to that previous means of projector control?

 This method should still works as it always has. 

We are looking into the network conflict reported by users using the PJlink actor. 

@dusx

Tried both of those 

Windows has all updates

Updated Graphics Drivers

Did both DISM & SFC 

Same Error Persists

Submitted Ticket

@jfg I had the same problem under Ventura

@jfg

Thanks for coming to the rescue. ❤
