slit scan ++ or any other pixel sorting way?

Bennnid

@Woland TT edgeblend doesn't propose an output... nore a stage to send signal ... any idea? (help is empty)

can you also tell me if there is a difference between using stages to join frames side to side with projectors, or using crop and pan user actors?

Well that's definitely a bug. I just logged it.

I actually don't know the answer to this, but you could easily do a quick test to see if they look different

Hi @Woland 1st thanks so much for your help
Actually using stages finds another way to solve problems ( changing slit scan speed becomes easy by selecting a part of slit scan output and stretching it...
Although I face several problems: (I'm working 1080X1920 so to say on portrait)
- in stage setup when I change default display size, newly created stage are on defaulted size but not the virtual stage...
>virtual stages are not impacted by default display size? maybe normal...
<< Actually same pb with izzymap and a new projector set on an existing stage in portrait, easy map opens an output but in landscape...
- sometimes clicking on "custom" makes izzymap refreshes on the numbers on the box and it changes... sometimes the numbers are still the other way around...

@Woland oh and last thing, do you know why izzymap gives strange point adjust number? although I'm on 1080X1920, horizontal point adjust goes 0 to 1080, (nothing to say it's clear) whereas vertical point which I expect to go from 0 to 1920 shows values from -2074 to 3994... which is super hard to read, difficult to adjust to real screen size, and asks a lot of calculation to split and divide screen... what is fun is that the sum of minus and max matches the resolution output, ... drives me a bit mad I have to say....

thanks again !

I submitted a bug report for this last thing https://community.troikatronix...

This is the correct behavior. You changed the Default Display Size and Virtual Stages have no physical displays assigned to them (hence why they're Virtual Stages).

Tips for working with displays in portrait mode:

1. Make sure that in system preferences, your portrait mode display is not before your primary display

Not like this

2. Got to Stage Setup and make Stage 1 target the proper display. It should match the resolution of the portrait mode display automatically. (Note: I didn't have to set a custom stage or display size because both were pulled automatically based on how the display was set up in System Preferences.)

3. After doing this, in this order, if I then create a 1080x1920 test image, import it, and then drag it into the Scene to create a new Picture Player and Projector actor, I can see that the 1080x1920 image fills the 1080x1920 Stage just fine without adjustments. If I double-click the brand-new projector, it automatically sets the output size in IzzyMap to "Custom: 1920x1080" (You're right, this should say "1080x1920"), and for me it defaults to portrait if the display and Stage were already set up before I created the Projector actor and before I double-clicked on the Projector actor to open IzzyMap.

This displays on my portrait display just fine but you're right, there's something wonky about the numbers it's displaying when I click on the points in IzzyMap. I'll log this bug.

Here's the file I put together to test this, in case that's helpful to you. It also includes a 1080x1920 test image made with this handy website.

Best wishes,

Hi as you propose you can share the video on insta , it would have been better without autoexposure of FaceTime cam of my MBP but I couldn’t find a way to take the hand on it!

Best regards
