@michel i see the 3 lines on my main screen but only 1 in the actual projection. but thanks anyway

@gapworks

well for that I have to know what stage you are putting to the screen. But as you see it is possible. Best is to tinker around when you have a bit more time. If you then have questions don't hesitate to ask again.

@michel  i try to solve it myself first. and then come back to you. all 3 lines need to be displayed in 1 projection.

@gapworks

Doesn't it help when you point the stage that shows all 3 lines to the display that goes to the projector?

 In the Stage Setup interface assign the stage to the output monitor ie display 2. Currently the stages are assigned to different displays on Stage Setup.

@michel this is my aim. i need to print and study the new stage setup thing! and replace some actors.

@gapworks

with the patch I sent you the end picture use stage 4. You must go in the menu "Output/Stage Setup" and choose for the stage for the display with your projector

@bonemap @jfg great thank. which takes me to my hopefully final questions. in the 3liner now the text is off vertical center. is there a way of changing this at once or do i need to go into every "flip text"?

and what is the new "resizable Background" actor? thank u so much for your help guys.

 Yes - you can change it all at once....

this is just a quick solution using the Stage Setup and Get Stage Image actor

Inside all your User Actors I'd also suggest switching the CPU actors (Resizable Bkg and Classic Text Draw) for GPU-based actors (Background Color and Text Draw)

 Background Color is the new Resizable Bkg

The only thing is that swapping the image from CPU to GPU takes a lot of processing power.

 Well, to be very clear: going from CPU to GPU is fast; going from GPU back to the CPU is slow.
