Resolume Forum

Anyone have any idea why I can't reshape an individual clip with it's [Transform], [Width] & [Height] property sliders? I can reshape a layer, but not a clip. This is for a composition whos output is mapped using advanced output settings...

I don´t understand your issue.
If you are using advanced output on Arena, you don´t need to scale layers and/or clips.
Just create a desireable slice and shape it place it where it is needed.

When you use the layer width and height it over rides the clips W/H. Don't see the layer as a plus & minus to the clip width/height but as an absolute value(Use one or the other). I've always seen the layer width and height as an effective way of resizing all your clips in a layer that are the same aspect ratio. If your dealing with lots of different resolutions/aspect ratios I would group them by res and right click each group and select scale to fit composition until that group fits.

I think his issue is that he has clips of various resolutions and aspect ratios. So some clips need to be resized to fit the composition. If everything doesn't fit your compsoition the same way your randomly going to have bits of black.

gottcha. figured it out. It's a little counter intuitive that the layer transform overrides and nulls the clip transform, but whatever now I know how it works
