Output & Live View

The clean render at /view/<pageId>, and the in-editor Output tab.

Getting the output into the production chain.

  • Add /view/<pageId> as a browser source at the page's frame and frame rate (Settings › Show › Format; 1920 × 1080 by default). A source of another size shows the whole frame, scaled to fit.
  • The desktop app always serves /view on port 4100, so the source URL survives a restart. Set GLIDER_PORT to use another port; if the port is busy at launch, the app takes a free one for that session and notes it in its log.
  • Enable transparency in the source: the page is already transparent, but the source must not composite it onto black.
  • Give the source the machine's real frame rate; a 30 fps source makes 50 fps motion judder.
  • Interact with the page once if it needs to play audio — browsers block autoplay until then.
  • Keep the output window unminimised; a backgrounded tab is throttled and motion stutters.
