NDI output larger than slide - off-slide captions and shapes shown

[jsilvanus]

The program outputs to NDI the whole slide including off-slide heading, which is unwanted. The output should be only the slide, and not off-slide. Can provide example if requested.

Thanks for the report. This is actually a known issue, but I will have a look.

[jsilvanus]

Thanks, would really appreciate it!

Fixed in PPT-NDI v1.0.3.

[jsilvanus]

The problem is not fixed. Tested with grey boxes that were outside the area. See picture below (window presentation in powerpoint, slideshow mode in PPT NDI): the powerpoint shows the proper slide, PPT NDI shows off-slide things.

Ping @ykhwong :)

But note: if I have the background shown, then it works properly:

Please note that the issue has been fixed in the classic mode only. The dimension and position properties of each object need to be retrieved to resolve the issue in the SlideShow mode.

[jsilvanus]

Ok, thank you for clarifying! I will see if I can transition to using classic mode and hotkeys until (?) sldieshow mode works. And thank you for this program, it is amazing.

Allow me to echo the appreciation for the application and effort. Nice work!

I believe the issue described is present in the classic version as well when backgrounds are not included. When adding a shape that intersects the slide perimeter, the relative spatial geometry of other items on the slide change, indicating that the off-slide portion of the shape are rendering. When the 'include background' option is turned on, the shape is cropped at the slide border.

I can confirm that I am on the latest release (1.0.3.1)... unless I misunderstand and this is something fixed in an interim, I believe the issue persists.

Thanks for the info. The current version (v1.0.3.1) hides off-slide captions and shapes but will not handle intersected objects. Let me think about how to get it trimmed.

I'll add that I'm having the same intersection problem, classic version, it seems to mostly be caused by text. I have images that can go right up to the slide border but text always requires extra space. My guess is the textbox object is based on the largest possible font instead of changing size per font.

Could you create a transparent background object and use that as your slide size reference instead of removing the background completely? I'm not sure how the renderer works, just throwing ideas around.
