25Quick overview
This overview shows the basics of how to use the feature.
The mapping can also be applied to the container itself.
Create a content mapping
Content mappings are treated like resources that are applied to the layer, so the same mapping can be used on multiple layers.
Right-click on the “Models” folder in your Resources Tab in the Compositing area, navigate to “Add Resource” → “Content Mapping”
The resolution of the content can now be set in the inspector; this is used as a reference for aspect ratios. This can also be used for pre-production. If the content has not yet been delivered and should already be applied to the timeline in the correct size.
The content mapping can be applied to the layer using drag and drop.
It can be also assigned to the content container itself.
Note
If it looks like that after assigning the content map, it is likely because another screen object was created first. To resolve the issue, you need to set the "Reference Screen" in the Screen Group's Inspector to the screen where the content for the content mapping is assigned.
Mappings can be deleted with right click in the Content Container and select “Clear Content Mapping”
Configure your mapping
Content mapping works similarly to LED mapping. We navigate to the mapping tab and go to the inner compositing of our mapping.
25.2 Feature update:
You can automatically jump to edit your content mapping by right clicking on the mapping in the resource browser, or in the layer header and select “edit”
The content feed area can now be determined here and assigned in the layer mapping
Mappings can be added with the "+" icon
If this mapping is now assigned to a clip, it is applied.
This method can also apply mappings across multiple screens.
Tip
If multiple clips with mappings are used on a timeline, a mapping should be applied to the layer without modification so that a default size exists for the container as a reference if none is applied to the container.
As a result, the content scaling will behave correctly on the layer in relation to the mapping.
