Saving images
-
Is possible to save images (screenshot of stage) directly in Isadora? -
Actually no - only video. You can record very short clips of video and play them back at the speed of 0?
Alternatively - use freeze actor (but this wont save the image as a file.Lastly; sure there is a Quartz actor out there that can do this. -
thank you for suggestion Graham,
I've looked to QC actors in isadora but I didn't find anything, maybe sharing video out via syphon with quartz composer and then saving from there as image file... -
Have a look at the bottom of the page:
http://kineme.net/forum/Discussion/DevelopingCompositions/HowexportimageQCfileNot downloaded it but it might work... -
Thank you, I will try and check
-
Please let us know if it works - Ive been asked about this a few times. Would be good to have a known working solution
-
Not able to create the plugin with Xcode on Mavericks, use 10.6 to build the plugin, installed on 10.9.1 works great, known limitation: generate filenames, (~/Desktop) use textformater actor (~/Desktop/Image_1.png), or in QC use String Replace to automate the filename count, made a QC SyphonImageExporter patch, to use with IsadoraCore stage to syphon actor, OSC to control everything with IsadoraCore. for more detail you can send, PM.

If you search the forum maybe the old one there is a solution that may help you. I made an apple script that grabbed a screen shot and saved it to a specific location and then imported it back into Izzy. At any rate this is not a hard script to write. It is only really helpful if you want a still from a video that is full screen though.
It was something that I found was missing for Izzy for years and has come up several times. With limited time and resources mark has given us other functions though.Fred -
HERE is the link to the file in the old forum. Thanks Fred.

Thanks @michel.
I am starting to forget about the old forum these days! I never did try this OSCulator patch - need to try it. -
thanks Fred via Michel: the "old mode" via OSCulator works perfectly
now I'll try other ways... -
ImageExporter vs. Screenshot.oscd,
Screenshot.oscd for making some screenshots, ImageExporter for interactive 24/7, can grab video/image from any actor (video out, video to image actor) you don’t have to use syphon, think its handy to have some Syphon_Image_Exporter, I can use it with different Syphon supported Apps, like IsadoraCore (stage to syphon actor).

I am playing around with executing python scripts via the TCP-ip actors (running a local web server). The idea is to use python to do things like take screenshots, move files, etc..
I will post if I have any real success.
