This small User Actor does exactly what the name suggests: it will count how many Scenes are present in the patch, and update itself automatically at every change, as well as manually. At its heart lie a few lines of JavaScript written by Andy Carluccio using the JavaScript Actor.
Even or Odd Comparator User Actor & Example File
This User Actor receives an integer for an input, figures out whether that number is even or odd, and lets you trigger events based on the result.
Stage Mouse Watcher to Live Drawing Scale Calculator User Actor & Example File
This example patch, and its associated user actor, will help you transform a simple flick of the wrist with your mouse into an interactive and content-generating artistic gesture by showing you how to perform the value scaling that is required to make the Live Drawing actor work with the Stage Mouse Watcher actor.
Video Switcher User Actor & Example File
The Video Switcher patch gives you a show-ready interface to control and live-mix up to 4 video sources with audio. Use it as is, or customize the interface to your needs. The download also comes with a Video Switcher User Actor which you can bring into your own patches.
The example file relies on video files that exceed the upload limit here, so follow this Dropbox link to download it instead: https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fo/kqe0kysx8ps389e2lgqk3/h?rlkey=mtpqy2mf5yy2cdrm2yik0qciy&dl=0
Keyboard Watcher Up/Down 2.0 User Actor & Example File
The Keyboard Watcher Up/Down 2.0 User Actor improves upon the Keyboard Watcher actor to make it into a reliable and practical show-ready tool by solving the problem of “continuous triggering” caused by keeping the key pressed down.
Percentage to Timecode User Actor & Example File
Sometimes you need both percentage-based and timecode-based control of the same Movie Player actor but end up being forced to pick one or the other. Never compromise again with the Percentage to Timecode User Actor! Keep your Movie Player actor in timecode mode and connect this User Actor to its position input for percentage-based control. This allows you to, for example, use a Slider control to scrub through a Movie Player actor that’s in timecode mode.
The example file for this relies on videos that exceed the upload limit for this page, but you can download it from Dropbox: https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fo/zon14m3yib7shm0fr57vg/h?rlkey=4dgfgj966ylcccwhog673jt3t&dl=0
Thru User Actors & Example File
These 16 User Actors (all for different input/output property settings and data types) can act as mobile connection hubs for many outputs and inputs that are all going to or coming from the same place. They are great for daisy-chaining, building in a modular way, consolidating your Control IDS to make it easier to re-use large parts of an Isadora Patch in new files, serving as placeholders, and can allow you to experiment with upstream data without having to re-draw downstream connections every time you change an actor.
Text Comparator Example File
If you’re curious about the Text Comparator actor, this example file will show you how it can be integrated into your patch for more real-time interaction.
