[Feature Request] Hotkey to send active (video) tool to any output

Back to Posts
 

Hi there.

We do have the ctrl-mouse-hover over any output peeker function, which is quite cool.

It would be even cooler if we had hotkeys to send the (video) output of the currently active tool
temporarily to any mapped output.

So e.g. Ctrl-NumPad[1...9] could override any 'wired' output and display the tool's video out on the mapped device respectively. So one could make adjustments on the current tool (or any upstream tool) while viewing the desired tool fullscreen.

Ctrl-NumPad[0] could then 'release' the temporary output connection and return to the 'wired' version.

Cheers.

Eric.

Hi Eric,

We added it to our request list and we will consider adding it in future releases.

Note, otherwise you can use the Video Out module with a Peeker module to achieve a similar effect. While turning On Into Preview in the Video Out module will send the video into preview, while keeping the video output devices untouched:

Warmest regards,

Hi Eifert.

Thanks, that's pretty much the way we do it :-)
Thing is, we have to manually connect to that VideoOut which becomes cumbersome if you zap through many different nodes.
So that hotkey-thingy would be awesome :-)

Cheers.

Eric.
