Hi Gapworks,

Have you tried changing the layer & blend mode inputs ? 

What about changing the blend mode to transparent ?

On your screenshot blend is on opaque, and all projectors are on the same layer.

Matthew's cornerpin is I think based on the 3d quad distort. 

So you have to set it like a traditionnal projector ( OpenGL blending ).

_Excuse my english, I'm french_

If it is set to "opaque" maybe there is a reason...

And if it is set to "opaque" the intensity is 0% at 0, and 100% for every other value (always "opaque")

A black picture (at the proper resolution, and/or with the preference/video well seted) in the second "in" of a video mixer can simulate a fade,

when changing the mix amount ; and it is independent to the layer & blend mode.

Hope that helps

@fypy & keftaparty. Thank you for your suggestion. it indeed was the blend mode. I thought i tried but it seems i did not :(. works fine now after changing.

but the cornerpin mask actor still crashes my isadora.

I found that the MK2 V1.6 actor crashed the official release but not the beta.

So i´m not the only one. But i only have the official Release, and i would really need the actor.
