Is there anyway to show and fit a video in not rectangular polygon frames?
In the border menu, there are a lof of frame options but nothing about irregular polygons.
I attach an example of polygons.

To be technical, they are not polygons as a polygon is a 2d shape.

Now I'm not sure if you're trying to place a video inside a polyhedron or you actually mean an irregular polygon?

If it's the latter, then you can draw the shape in Opus (or other vector tool) and export from Opus (Draw Menu > Export Vector) as *.ilv. Create a new folder in the Borders folder called Irregular (or your choice) and place your *.ilv in there. It will then appear in the listbox on the Borders tab.

Note: The fill colour of the vector will need to be pink (255,0,255) as this is the transparent area that shows the video.

Thanks Mack,
yes, I mean irregular polygon like the shape of the frames I attached. But could you please tell me how to create a new folder in the bolders folder? I didn't know that you can add more borders to the list.

On a default Windows / Opus install:

Open My Computer
Open C Drive
Open Program Files
Open Opus X (you don't have a version listed!!!)
Open Borders

Right Click and select New > Folder.

Place the *.ilv in that folder and it will now be there when you load Opus.

Mack

P.S You can also drag and drop the existing .ilv's into Opus to see how they are built.
