keftaparty Novice May 5, 2007, 11:00 AM Post #1 of 7 (2211 views) Shortcut an actor to capture jpeg Can't Post hello, I'm looking for a way to take snapshots of a movie. My idea is something like the "capture to disk", but to capture in jpeg format. with the same process ( the image is recorded in a specificated folder ) Thanx Keftaparty

Anybody must be able to come in front of the webcam, and just press a button for the photo to be taken. If anybody has an idea, thank you... Will it be very hard to "modify" the capture to disk actor in this way ? Thanks

Please submit the report via the bug report/feature request page on my site. (See the sticky post at the top of this forum). I'll see what I can do.

On the mac there are quite a few standalone apps (Photo booth on new macs, freak show for on any recent mac) that already do this - probably on pc too. HTH Nick Cheers Nick

But I still have a little problem, it's that what I want to capture is not just the direct video input, but the video input + text that I insert with Isa.. I think the capture actor is only able to record the input directly "at the source". Thank you Mehdi Mark, I don't understand everything of what you ask me to do with this thing of posting on the site or....., sorry that are the limits of my english knowledge. But if you explain me with easiest words, there is no problem, I do what you want. Also, I still have a problem : sometimes when capturing : error -2048 : the movie could not be read because it is not a file that quicktime understands (This post was edited by keftaparty on May 11, 2007, 7:41 AM)

hal User May 13, 2007, 3:49 PM Post #7 of 7 (2130 views) Shortcut Re: [keftaparty] an actor to capture jpeg [In reply to] Can't Post How about a screen capture of what is being sent to the stage saved as a JPEG? You could do thing with any number of off the shelf apps (irfanview) or a script (PERL) You can have the app running in the background and still listen for a keypress or your external button, no need for Isadora to capture the input. Or you can use OSC to pass around messages and trigger the capture. -- Hal Eagar - Media Effects Artist http://haleagar.com Director - Digital Performance Institute http://digitalperformance.org DPI-office 646 442 4435 | Hal-cell 917 257 8440
