       May I suggest putting this on the Plugins Page, Dear Leader?

      Because of the fact it doesn't respond to 0 in the middle, I would not consider this a general case. That will cause confusion which could generate support questions/tickets, etc.

      @whatnao You could also run the projector in an activated scene with a keyboard watcher that listens for a trigger and toggles the projector on or off - so the movie keeps running and the projector is what goes on or off. Since the scene is active the keyboard watcher will react even if you are currently in another scene.

      Using the Trigger Delay as the timeout is perfect.
      I just added a bit here to calculate a 'good' delay time based on the FPS setting (might use Performance monitor to set this)
      I didn't see any need for the Buffer actor.

      @woland 

      Ah!! Amazing. Thank you. I kept trying to bring up the on/off actor outside of the user actor which is why it wasn't appearing. 

      Much appreciated!

      Hello,

      I've got a non pro model. I did the same route through Unity. But I'd rather not do that. A c++ would new great. If anyone has some hints for that I can test.

      Thanks

      Just wondering if there are any other thoughts on this - I'm eager to try and consolidate the shader into one bit of code so any thoughts appreciated..

      The issue with adding a predefined macro is that you'll need to wait for another version of Isadora. 

      The Shader Language version (i.e.,  __VERSION)__) on Isadora currently is 110; I suspect the version in other apps is probably higher. Try something like this:

      #if __VERSION__ > 110 // execute non-isadora code here #else // execute isadora code here #endif

      Does that work?

      Hi Ryan,

      Here is an updated patch with a user actor that calculates the optimum Pulse trigger setting and Particle Count based on using the properties set in the Isadora Preferences for Target Frame Rate and General Service Tasks.

      bonemap ChoreoParticles02.zip

      You are absolutely right! You have raised this issue as a prerequisite, and thank you - your generic formula will assist in optimising patches that use this technique and is a great contribution. I will make sure it goes into the notes for the version that uploads to the Plugins page.

      Best Wishes

      Please try running the attached file.

      This file works for me.. and I don't see why the incoming data would be managed any differently in your case.

      let me know if this file works for you

      @sycamore

      I have had better experiences using the Blackmagic design codecs (included with their video capture software - free).

      However. At 5 mins you will likely hit the Avi containers max filesize... This will truncate your video.

      I would use OBS to record a Spout feed from your stage. This would record realtime, so you patch needs to run smoothly in real-time. The nice thing about this approach is it off loads see work from Isadora, so you have more cpu space to use.

      @mark Thank you for your reply. My need is not urgent. It is part of my Isadora toolkit development process to create a collection of user actors and associated control panels that are responsive to ambient sound & movement. Their outputs will be used to generate projections in realtime that I call New Social Landscapes.
