4. Create a new VERTEX project
Project Path
To run VERTEX with the best playback performance, we strictly recommend to store your VERTEX project folder on the same drive as your content is located.
Please use a fast drive for both to ensure an optimal performance of the software.
5. Wait until the project is created and ready to work on
The project will be loaded and ready to go for your first experience with VERTEX-
You will see:
oa preconfigured Workspace
with the most important tools and windows
oa preconfigured Canvas and Output Configuration
The Canvas size matches with the Windows 10 screen settings of your local System. Canvas 1 is preconfigured with the total pixels of the Windows 10 desktop you have set. For each the outputs that are already connected to your PC a Surface is created and already assigned to your Canvas.
Setup Example
2 Full-HD Screens are connected to your hardware System. Both screens are arranged side by side into your GPU driver/the Windows 10 desktop settings. Your initial Canvas size is 1920 x 2 = 3840 pixel width and 1080 pixels in height.
For each the Screens that are connected to one of your GPU outputs, VERTEX creates a Surface with 1920x1080px. The initial arrangement of this Surface into your VERTEX Canvas should match with the settings you have made for your Windows 10 desktop.
