<![CDATA[Merging multiple layer]]>Maybe a simple question .....

i would like to merge, and not add, multiple video layers (more than 20) in one, similar to photoshop.
I am not sure, it looks like there is a limit of 20 layers at the projectors.
perhaps there is other simple solution in stead of using the projectors
any proposle is more than welcome

this is my line-generator. i hope this helps in understanding
 the 3d approach i haven't tried and no cue for the bended form.
The charm on the 3 d approach is the option for further processing

Understanding more or less what you want, I will give a try to Processing via Syphon, You can create and delete as many lines, circle, rectangle you want and, via OSC, you can move it, change color etc.
I made a very quick and dirty sample, hope that works for you…

I would like to keep the last color overall and use the layer of the projectors.

You are not limited by the layer settings. Isadora processes everything from left to right and top to bottom. That means the top right "movie player/projector" will be layered underneath the "movie player/projector" on the right side or underneath of it.

See attached image, two screenshot showing that only changing the order gives you a different result. Both projectors are set to layer 0. Though if you change the physical order you have to leave the scene and re-enter to see the changes. Using the layer settings and the order of the actors gives you unlimited possiblities imho.

I am generating the lines/objects step by step and freezing them for the projector in different layers.

So here I'm limited by the numbers of layer. ... the system is running with 8 projectors right now. 
i haven't different idea or approach .....
