Crop + Applying Effect problems

[mraeclo]

Hey, how is It going?

Im having some trouble solving a situation, here`s whats going on: I have multiple imagens being made in Max/Jitter and sent to resolume all in one image via syphon. After I get them on Resolume, I need to apply one effect (stingy sphere) to each of the imagens separately, since im sending them all concatenated in one big image (making 10 diferent syphon servers is getting my laptop reeeally slow) I`ve put the same image from syphon in 10 different layers and used the crop function to select each image inside the big one, the problem with this is because when I use the effect, it interpret the image as a whole, apply the effect and gives me only a part of the ball stingy sphere does, the part I left outside the crop. I tought that if I used the crop before the stingy sphere it would use the remaining as a whole image, and apply the effect as if it the part left after the crop was a full image.

Is there anything I can do inside resolume to solve this?

thanks in advance

Use one layer for your Syphon source and 10 layer routers for the effects. Then in the advanced output you can create 10 slices that have the 10 layer routers as inputs.

Im trying to do it but Im not sure I got it right.
For example, syphon source at layer 3
1 layer router at layer 2 getting layer 3
10 layer routers with the crop + stingy sphere getting layer`s 2 layer router

this is what i have tried and is not working
ive also tried 10 syphon to 10 different layer routers with the effects and its the same, it keeps interpreting the image as a whole, just not showing the cropped parts

at last i tried to route to 10 different layer routers from syphon, crop, and them get the cropped imagem using another 10 layer routers to apply the stingy sphere but still didnt work out

is any of these what you said?
thanks for the answer

Crop doesn't work like that. It will create transparent pixels, while keeping the original texture size the same. It will not create a new, smaller texture, which is what you want.

I think you should be able to use Layer Width and Height to create the smaller texture size you want, and then use Clip Scale and Position to select the part of the content you want to see in this layer. To be completely clear, I'm thinking out loud here and haven't actually tried this.
