Render to file but via output screen

Hey All,

Just come of a leg of projection installs, would be great if we could have a render to file but processed through the advanced output screens.

For example, projection map has been completed in arena but we need the content played back via a brightsign player. So we need to record the screen output that has the map via some kind of recorder which takes as long as the show + trimming to the start and end of the content.

Let me know if further explanation required

Thanks

Duplicate the screen (or don't) and send it out via Spout into OBS and then hit record.

Or

Create a group for all of your layers/groups and send that as the source to the Advanced Output, Then send that screen out as a Spout source and then create a new layer above the group you created and add in the Spout source and then hit record.

That's exactly what we did but very tedious and annoying if content updates are necessary.

I wouldn't of thought it would take too much more to implement, just need to route through the advanced output.

Record and advanced output are 2 different sections of the application, it would be very tedious.

We are actually planning work on the recorder because quite a few request have been done for it.
I actually wondered wether allowing to render the screens would something that could be useful. Its actually not that hard at all.
We'll take your request into account @24601
