New to Millumin - Recreating a workflow similar to Resolume Advanced Output?
Dear community,
I'm new to this interesting software and i came from the Resolume world.
I'm trying to port over the workflow of what i do on Resolume and attempting to do the same in Millumin.
May i know, how do i achieve what i did on "Advanced Output" in Resolume Arena on Millumin?
--
I have a graphic, i wish to create multiple slices over it so that i can then adjust the positioning of these slices on the output. The slice is like a window to the content below.
Then on the output, i will then reposition the slices.
Content shown on the slice, i do not wish to scale them on the output transformation. It's a 1:1. I just wish to reposition it on the output transformation after creating the slice.
I was playing with the surface mapping in millumin, but the surfaces will scale and fit the content into the slice when i assign a layer to that, i do not wish to achieve this.
Thank you very much!

Hello @RANVIER,
You can use a video-routing to do so : it helps you to separate content (canvas) and output (video-routing).
See this project :
Also, you may want to set the "workspace origin" to "bottom-left" in Preferences. Lastly, you can double-click the anchor (circles, rectangles in the workspaces) to edit the value with numbers.
Let us know if you have some feedback, as we planned to improve video-routing feature.

PS : surface are for a very different purpose (videomapping on stage scenery)
Dear Philippe,
thank you for your kind sharing of the example project file! It is really helpful for me to get a better understanding and to be able to visualise better.

I noticed that 2 canvases were created.
One seems like the "overall composition view" in resolume ,which is called "canvas" in millumin.
The other another canvas called, "preview output"
Hello @RANVIER,
Ignore the "(preview output)" canvas : as stated, it was just for preview purpose. In real life, you directly select your output in the video-routing (and this canvas does not exit of course).
If you have 3 outputs, create 3 video-routings (one per output).
Conceptually, imagine that the content and how this content is technically outputted are completely separated, so

Dear Philippe,
I have since understand the workflow and have successfully route out the content to the multiple outputs.
In version 3 you can click and hold down on the track pad and move canvas around with another finger, doesn't seem to do it in version 4

Hello Philippe!
A small feature request with the video router is better snapping between slice to slice both at input & output mapping
And also if its possible to define a slice size by pixels without using the corners (for example 600x400)
Thank you.
I second @vjkatza request as inputting the exact pixel size of the slide is much much more accurate than using the mouse.
Snapping is a very useful feature that we often use in other software.
@Millumin For point 2, the boundary line when we adjust the slicing, i can only move that line when my mouse is at the midpoint when the square gizmo is. As a result, i always have to reposition my viewpoint to see that square gizmo but then i will lose the view of other parts of the canvas in the slice editor.
Hello @RANVIER & @vjkatza,
Such improvements are already planned for next beta version (4.15.j) that is coming soon.
I'll write a message here when it's done.

Amazing!
Thank you Philippe
Hello @RANVIER & @vjkatza,
We published the beta 4.15.j with a lot of improvements for video-routing :

Just tested it, Thank you, it works great!!
