      @woland yes! thanks, it's pretty much the same idea of using a TripleHead right? I'll try this

       Yes, sort of. Making it one big video really helps things stay in synch. You may run into issues if your aspect ratios differ though. This method is also excellent when you're trying to edge-blend content across multiple projectors.

      @wllm

      I just tried it and it works fine for me, exactly the way as in your screenshot. Could it be that you have changed the OSC port in the preference settings of Isadora? Or is another app open having the same port?

      willing to share any Izzy patches

       Hi Bill,

      Using sound frequency ranges to modulate particles is one of my favourite things in Isadora - I love it! But this 3.0.6 patch, that I am willing to share, uses multiple Shapes actors with a single instance of the Sound Frequency Watcher.

      rollover the links leading to the Chop Pixels actor, and make sure that the thumbnail shows the image to be larger than the 1280x720 you have set as a target size.
      Perhaps you are getting a scaled image due to your preferences. Switch between Stage Preview and Stage Full, as this may change the scaling also.

      My workflow is to have a folder for each show that has the media and the Isadora Patch and I build it that way from the beginning; this is the workflow I suggest. If your room is messy, you're more likely to have trouble finding things. If you keep your room organized and neat, you won't have to go digging around in piles of laundry to find your keys. 

      While I agree that this feature would be handy and has definitely been requested before, if you just keep all your media and the Patch in the same place to begin with it's a complete non-issue.

      Workaround: 

      1. Move all your media from all over into one folder.

      2. Isadora will no longer know where the media is, so when you open the patch it'll ask you where the first missing file is located.

      3. Once you tell Isadora where that first file is, since all the media is in one folder, it will know where to look for the rest of the media and will find it on its own.

      in something like Quark or InDesign

      There's a big difference in terms of the resources and time that companies like those and companies like us can devote to feature development and testing. 

      We do our best to listen to our users and implement feedback whenever possible, but just because something has been requested does not mean that it's possible for us to integrate it as a feature, (no matter how long ago or how often it was requested).

      Best wishes,

      Woland

      And there's a second part to this... Once I do have the timecode I want to save it in a data array, but it doesn't seem to be the right data type - is there anyway to remedy or convert this?

      @mark_m yeah, like I said it's not ideal but the projectors I'm using seem to cope with it in testing.

      any idea which actors I'm looking for to fill in the gaps?

       Something like this provides an option for calibrating a regular beat interval for the Jump module to be triggered after pressing the 'a' key. See attached file for your reference.

      You can either use a modifier, then you have to press a button for the mouse position to be tracked. Or you put a gate after each output (horz and vert). If you switch the gate to off the position will not be passed.

      Thank you, Mark.  I will try the wave/envelope generator.  My media is all photo jpeg codec.  Are there advantages to using HAP or ProRes422 over photo jpeg?

      The provided test videos import and run in both Isadora v2 and 3 on my test machine, so I believe some type system configuration issue is responsible.

      I am continuing to troubleshoot the issue with dritter via a support ticket.
