101: Planning and Setup of a basic video projection

The following sample project will guide you through the most important steps to setup a simple video project. We will create a simple video composition that will be projected on a screen with one projector. Pixera’s simulation capabilities can help choosing the right projector and lens. No output warping will be applied as the projection is straight to the screen.

Prerequisites

For this example project you should already be familiar with the basic user interface elements that are described in Workspace Navigation‍.
