You beat me to it. But like Woland suggest, try to go from CPU to GPU actors, the other side of the coin is that if you have to run tomorrow then perhaps it is best to leave it CPU actors for now.. The only thing is that swapping the image from CPU to GPU takes a lot of processing power.

@juriaan @woland @michel... thanks for all your effort! i will present a 1 liner tmw. to get the idea and then come back to your suggestions! I'm running out of time here until tmw.

Woland

Yes, updating a 5-year-old project overnight is a bit of a tall order.

gapworks

@woland yes indeed :(

i have given a try and had the same problem with an empty stage 4 until I reselect the stage in each "Syphon receiver" actor:

@jfg sorry does not work :( but thanks anyway

gapworks

@michel i see the 3 lines on my main screen but only 1 in the actual projection. :( but thanks anyway

Michel

@gapworks

well for that I have to know what stage you are putting to the screen. But as you see it is possible. Best is to tinker around when you have a bit more time. If you then have questions don't hesitate to ask again.

@michel i try to solve it myself first. and then come back to you. all 3 lines need to be displayed in 1 projection.

Michel

@gapworks

Doesn't it help when you point the stage that shows all 3 lines to the display that goes to the projector?

@gapworks said:

In the Stage Setup interface assign the stage to the output monitor ie display 2. Currently the stages are assigned to different displays on Stage Setup.

@michel this is my aim. i need to print and study the new stage setup thing! and replace some actors.

gapworks

with the patch I sent you the end picture use stage 4. You must go in the menu "Output/Stage Setup" and choose for the stage for the display with your projector
