6.1.3 Advanced Output Issue
Posted: Mon Apr 01, 2019 12:16
Hello.
I never had this one before.
Updated to 3.1.6 and went to a gig.
After videomapping a Led Panel (with many square parts) Arena was not "holding" slice settings and positions anymore. Save and close didn't seem to work, as well as saving the preset.
Although the panel was sliced in square parts, the video content were created as full resolution clips, already considering the square parts. The panel resolution was also square, so the videos were supposed to fit the panel after a few adjustments anyway.
A couple of resizing and moving one single slice would do the trick. Presto!
Everything was OK untill I decided to add a second slice for a different part of the Led Panel. It screewed the first one. Fixing its size and position as before didn't seem to work. Numbers were the same, but results were different. Suddenly it was like pixel aspect ratio had changed somehow. Some squares were perfectly mapped and others not. What???
Starting from scratch sometimes worked out but Arena was still not saving the mapping and kept suddenly screewing with slice properties although "numbers" were correct. No, slices were not over each other.
The pain was over only when I decided to set all layers to "Stretch". That was weird.
