Add background

Now let’s add a background to project behind our cube.
We’ll use the same projector, we’ll just create a new X-Map which we’ll set behind all the other X-Maps.
To achieve this we’ll need to display one media for the 3 shapes and display another media for the background.

• In the Render Surface tab, increase the Render Surface from 1920×1080 to 3840×1080.
• Drag & drop the media LightRain-01 for the background and change it’s X position value to 1920. You can also activate Loop and Freerun.
• In the V-Nodes tab add a new X-Map of 1920×1080 and set the MAP X value to 1920, Y remains 0.
• Set the Curve type to Keystone on this X-Map and warp it into position.

Separate the timelines

In order to show/hide the content for the Cube and the Background independently, we’ll create a timeline for each.

• Go to the Timeline list tab and add a second timeline.
• Rename the Timeline 1 to Cube and the Timeline 2 to Background.
• In the Cube timeline, add the following media with 2 seconds of fade in between each layers.
• Set all three media to Loop and Freerun.
• Insert a command layer and add two Pause cues at each fade in.
