newbie question..sorry...help..

Post by 247discos »

Hi been messing Around with this program and love it.. using arena 4. I'm mapping slices and works well but I can't figure out how to get the little screen on the main user screen to show what the slices are doing.. it just shows the full window... not each little segment.. I got this video from youtube.. if you see his laptop screen after he has mapped..the output window bottom left of layout (not preview window but output window) shows what's happening on the projector... mine just shows a full screen..not cut up into slices..even though the projector is..help..cheers

The video you provided uses an old version of Resolume - not even Arena; and an entire different mapping technique.
The small output window is actually not displaying the mapping (slices where not used), but masking.
The mapping was achieved by using a PNG mask applied to the composition. Masks are are properly displayed there. Obviously, so far, Advanced Output mapping is not. You will need an output monitor or projector to see the slice mapping results. That´s pretty much it.
