@juriaan @woland @michel... thanks for all your effort! i will present a 1 liner tmw.  to get the idea and then come back to your suggestions! I'm running out of time here until tmw. 

[Woland]

Yes, updating a 5-year-old project overnight is a bit of a tall order.

[gapworks]

@woland yes indeed

i have given a try and had the same problem with an empty stage 4 until I reselect the stage in each "Syphon receiver" actor:

@jfg why can't i just have the same flip text actors including their background on stage 1. different size and position included?! would u mind to send me your patch?

[jfg]

@gapworks

I used the patch from Woland

[gapworks]

@jfg all messed up on my computer. same patch not even able to only show stage4.  pitty! no stone frame ,no spacing , no nothing

@jfg sorry does not work but thanks anyway

[gapworks]

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

[Michel]

@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. 

[Michel]

@gapworks

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

@gapworks said:

 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]

@bonemap than for the hint! i try to find it.

[bonemap]

@gapworks

@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.
