Question / Help Fullscreen Projector (scene) vs Fullscreen Projector (Preview) diference

[Tarolon]

Hey buddy,

Can someone explain the difference between Fullscreen Projector (scene) and Fullscreen Projector (Preview). I cannot see the difference between the two options. I have a scene with a video and I suppose that in Preview the video should start, the "Restart playback when source becomes active" box is checked.

You don't see a difference, because you probably use only one source that occupies the whole canvas.
But imagine people who compose their video from multiple sources and perhaps have multiple scenes. You can send every single source to a "projector (source)", and every scene "projector (scene)" - even sources and scenes that are currently not in the active scene. The "projector (preview)" projector finally outputs what is going out to your stream or recording.

If you only have one scene with one source, everything shows the same, of course.
