you can

Whether you should is another matter entirely.

"Ffs, Joris, stop with your stupid crusade already. You don't like layer to slice routing. We get it. Get over yourself."

You could set all your lumiverse input sources to a virtual screen. Then you dont have to use layer to slice if you didnt need to.

To me, that's the same difference.

The point is, if you want to play content over your pixel fixtures, that's a matter of content selection, not a setting in your advanced output. Not playing content is also a form of content selection.

Similarly, content selection should happen on the composition/layer level, not in the advanced output. By using layer to slice routing to do this, you move this decision to a place where it's hidden from your view.

How awesome would it be, if instead of routing a layer to somewhere invisible, you could say to the layer: "only show the content in this layer where I have slice fixtures"? Your composition preview would immediately show the result of that action. It's a subtle difference, but to me it's a completely different approach that makes a lot more sense. Especially at four in the morning.

well that wasn't there last time i looked.
