Thank you very much Fred! I agree that step by step is the best option to learn. And small-scale simulation is an excellent way to better understand the sensing and processing processes for creating visuals.

That's not a supported codec.

@fred Thanks for this. I have to wrap my head around it since I'm not a programmer...

Isadora  would some new features to automatically load or display images from a folder

 Have you gone through the Pythoner Demo file provided?
There is an example loading the file names from a folder, and displaying them.

so there seems to be no easy solution to swipe through photos.

@jhoepffner & @DillTheKraut - Kiosk+ seems like an option, but it would need me to build the photos into a HTML site, and, as far as I know, that doesn't enable swiping.

@jfg - 'kiosk mode' is another term for Guided Access. which provides one level of security, but doesn't prevent users from accessing the backend of the slideshow within the app that is playing it. I'm currently using the Photos app, with Guided Access set to disable all touch. this removes the swipe feature, but allows us to show the photos in series on autoplay. which might as well be a video loop.

i think it was much easier with older iPads that have a physical button - i could have built the case to hide the button. another example of technological development killing the usability of the tech.

@dusx

Thanks for the offer:
Maybe a tutorial about the proper use of external controllers: From the simple ones like the Korg Nano Kontrol, to more complex ones with feedback sliders. Different use scenarios to make things easier... could be linked to lighting tutorials as well.

Cheers

@picklepenny you will love this: https://www.shadertoy.com/view... 

 This looks hilarious, but it crashes my computer's WebGL 😞

@gertjanb

Done

Beautiful!

The problem, If you distance the side-arm from the lens is that you have a big reflexion of video grey on the black flag, visble by audience. When I need to mask a beamer, as for sub-titles, I use a side-arm and a cage made of cinefoil to block the diffusion from the black surface.

we could get the motion data into Isadora through midi

 If you can receive the MIDI in a DAW it will be straightforward to get the MIDI in Isadora. 
I haven't seen any alternatives to this device. You could make your own, but it would be difficult to match the size of these devices.

@eight I found 3m wide rolls, lengths were 50m.

@notdoc

Hmmm, I have to say we might even be able to do an 'Show and tell' with short clips on Instagram for this. Love this idea / will send it over to the team 🙂

@craigw

It sounds like you're describing a problem that's purely to do with macOS and not Isadora, so I've moved this from the bug reports category. I have not seen this issue before but perhaps someone else has.

Best wishes,

Dear Community,

If you are someone who writes well in the English language, has a decent knowledge of Isadora, and are looking for some contract work, then we'd like to hear from you.

On top of our task list is updating the Isadora manual, but we are also interested in someone who can write simple, effective, and easy-to-read tutorials and other online documentation.We do not require that English is your first language as long as your writing makes us think that it is. 😉You could be located anywhere on the planet, as our interaction with you can be conducted via online meetings, etc.

If you are interested, please contact us by opening a ticket with us, using the subject line "TroikaTronix Writing Job" and a message type of "Other".

We look forward to hearing from you.

Sincerely,
Mark Coniglio and the TroikaTronix Team

@weston

Hello, which screensharing application do you use? MacOs native?

Have you tried with plain VNC application, like VNC viewer (free)? or teamViewer (non-commercial version)?

Perhaps you can obtain different results.

Personaly I use VNC viewer with a "booth" windows 10 desktop with 4 screens (from nVidia 3090) and command it from an old macBook Pro 13" (Mojave) with VNC viewer and there is no problems to see the four screens and use mouse and keyboard.

@jjhp3 thank you!!

Salut @clement,

Merci pour tout l'info.

I won't be teaching in France but in a French speaking country.

I hope i can use a lot of English terminology. If not i have a list now with explanations in french, thank you.

With kind regards
