Preview window too small

Post by vetec »

Hi!

First of all, I like to say hi! as I am new in this forum.

After playing around with Resolume 4 I noticed that preview window (of layer ,under output monitor window, bottom,left corner) is getting smaller while resizing output window. One can go biger while other is getting very small, never opposit. This is inconvient, because most of time I can see my output window on the projector/big monitor and I need to see preview of my next clip, more then final output I see in fullscreen.

Also It would be nice to drag and resize any window ( layers, monitoring, effect controls etc) within resolume work area.

Thank you!

the most sad thing for me is that with opened preview-window the performance drops down!

i would like to have a preview option in the advanced output or windowed output... so that i can preview the active layer and the composition on a extra screen.

the GUI is not supposed to be that modular, i think this will happen in the next version ;)

The preview window size can indeed be problematic, especially when working with compositions that are a lot higher than they are wide.

More options for positioning and preview output routing are on the list for Res 5.

For R5 can we please have access to the preview window + GUI in the advanced output settings? This would be great for allowing custom monitoring setups. Modern computers have enough outputs to allow you to use a couple for monitoring / interface and it would be really good to be able to have more flexibility with previewing and control.
