Re: Graphic Performance Issues

Ok, I have actually figured out the issue here is black syphon. I was using this to import a live video feed from the gopro camera I use for live video input. I noticed that I was getting serious lag with my video. If I disable the camera and turn off black syphon I get my FPS up to between 45-60 on...

I have a newer Mac Book Pro with 16 GB or Ram. Grahics card is a AMD Radeon R9 M370X 2048 MB Intel Iris Pro 15...

Re: Playlist Transition and Syphon Output

Yep, same issue. And after some playing around I got it to work. I changed the blend mode of the layer that had the syphon input on it to ignore alpha and this worked. Now the transitions show fine in madmapper. Nice!

Re: Syphon & Crossfade between scenes

Yes! I was having the same issue as the OP. I changed the blend mode of the layer that had the syphon input on it to ignore alpha and this worked. Now the transitions show fine in madmapper.

Playlist Transition and Syphon Output

I was wondering if other people have playlist transitions working with the syphon output? In my set up, when I start a transition, the syphon output goes black and then stays black till the transition is complete and then comes back with the new scene. Wondering if perhaps there is something I'm mis...

Re: Video Capture Help

Thanks for the tip on the blacksyphon. I will have to set it up tomorrow and see how it works. Only have one more day of testing and then plan to use Magic live for the first time on Friday. Have a workable workflow right now with Magic and MadMapper but would love to have the video feed processed i...

Re: Video Capture Help

I am on the latest version of OSX. I am just surprised since it appears in the audio section but no the video. I also have had no issues with the blackmagic device showing up in other software. But sounds like it just does not work. Not the end of the world, as I use MadMapper as my final step befor...

Video Capture Help

First, love Magic. Plan to start using the software this summer on the road with a musician I tour with. The one issue I have is I can't get it to recognize any video devices except my built in webcam. I am using a Blackmagic UltraStudio Mini Recorder HDMI input device. It works great with all the o...
