differences-between-jitter-vs-isadora

isadora has some similar features to quartz composer and a similar kind of setup...I've found some of the features to be pretty nice (like easier geometry warping etc) but with ease comes a kind of limitation in terms of how much depth you can get into making your own effects i think...but I haven't used it enough to really comment on that..but jitter seems much more customizable to me

one huge strength that isadora has is the ability to make 'scenes'..i helped with a production that was about 45 minutes long and involved 5 different projectors...isadora handled the geometry warping and the different movie switching..I could easily switch to new scenes based on what was happening in the live production by simply hitting the space bar and going to the next scene which automatically set everything in motion..so if you have a production in the future that has that level of cueing that would be kind of obnoxious to code in jitter..isadora is a better choice

Having used both programs for video/audio installations and performances, I see Jitter as a deep well of experimentation, while I end up using Isadora more frequently... I find it very stable and easily tweakable. I'm not a code-head sort of person and Isadora is one step up the convenience ladder. In the past I've worked out processes in JItter, then did my best to recreate in Isadora. For audio integration, JItter/Max is superior.
