How can you export video from any of these> I bought Lumabox, and Madmapper and have the free mapmap. Not one of them will let me use a house outline, drop in a video, shape it to fit my house, and then export said video. They all want you to "screen capture" it which is just horrible quality. There has to be something I am missing to just simply export the video. Thanks in advance Happy Halloween.
For MadMapper you can only export to another bit of hardware (sold by them) that acts as a media player. MapMap you can't export, you're correct. When you say you bought Lumabox do you mean LumaMap? If so, you can do what you described (import a video, corner pin it, export the video) but only for one video at a time - you cannot build a whole show from multiple elements. Is that what you mean? If you are looking to build a show from individual videos you should be looking more at video editing/animation software, not mapping software. Things like After Effects or DaVinci Resolve, which is free.
Greetings! If I work for my clients. So how would I save and share with them??? Because I have completed my project but no option is showing to export it.
Great tutorial. I have a orthographic image of our house made like you described in one of your videos. Can i use that in MapMap and not sure i understand if i should make content for each mesh or just have one big mesh for the whole house. I guess it all depends if there are specific meshes i want different content on right ?
Your life won't be so easy doing it in MapMap. You want to be able to isolate specific meshes so that they get their own mapping (since each surface has a different relationship to the projector's position so needs different warping to compensate for that). The problem in MapMap is that you can't apply masks (as far as I'm aware) or complex input meshes and it's a generally a little unstable. If you haven't already watched this, it might help understanding the steps involved ruclips.net/video/YVgUWpfaRNU/видео.html or part 5 of my orthographic series ruclips.net/video/FWyZyVlJNso/видео.html
Thanks for your very clear tutorial, also for me as a beginner and just started using mapmap. I have only one question. In VIEW/OUTPUT SCREEN, I can't see my projector, only my pc screen. How can I do it? Thanks (I have a windows pc)
Hi there! Just a quick and probably silly question: how can I select each of the mesh's corners individually to change the shape? In my mapmap project they are always moving together, I cant select an move them around as you do... Thanks for the help, if you can give me a clue on how to unlock them!
I don't think there's a knack to it... you just grab the corner points and move them I think 😅 Maybe your MapMap is misbehaving. It has become very buggy with recent OS updates 😬
Good day, trying with MapMap I would like your collaboration if possible: 1) Activate the menu bar again, which by mistake removes it. 2) The most updated version is mapmap-0.6.4-x86-installer? Thank you for your attention
@sergiomendes63 I have 4 videos that I want to appear at 3 specific points on the stage. Each video appears once at 3 points and so on, and I can stop and start each one whenever I want. Is this possible with MapMap?
No definitely not. MapMap is too basic for that. You want something that has sequencing/cueing capabilities. Mapping applications like MadMapper, HeavyM, Resolume can do this (some more intuitive than others...). Qlab is used in theatre which is very strong for cuing and has (basic) mapping features.
I'm stuck at the part where you click output editor layout, it doesn't show my 5tiers cake at the bottom. I have set my display to extend, it shows the laptop projecting but when I click output visibility, the cake wont show like what you did. What am I missing?
The view of the cake is footage I edited in to the tutorial to help the audience see what was happening on the cake in front of me. It's not a feature of the software.
Is there a way to connect together videos like the casacade then to pictures then to words to play automatically. I want mine to play at my wedding but don't want to be messing with it. Also how would I save all of those videos together to play. Do you play the content from a laptop connected to the projector at events or do you use wifi? How do you play the content without a big bulky laptop clouding the area? If I can save the content to USB and play it that way that would be best.
You can't automate a show in MapMap but you could string your videos together using video editing software and export out as one long video. You can automate in other projection mapping software. Check out my other tutorials for Resolume or MadMapper. Some software allows you to export your mapped output as a video file which you can play from a usb media player but not all can. Otherwise, yes you need your laptop connected to the projector.
@@LumaBox so if I created a string of video content from like iMovie or something and placed that in MapMap I would be able to play it but it would have to be on a laptop connected to the projector, you can’t play it any other way, correct? Also is there tutorial videos on how to create your own video content to put on the cake so it doesn’t get cut off, etc. I want the Disney version with Cinderella’s carriage going across the layers for example lol
@@katarajvcharternet2 If you don't want the laptop connected you need to somehow export your output AFTER it's been mapped and then play that video file from a media player connected to the laptop. This tutorial will give you a sense of what I mean ruclips.net/video/FWyZyVlJNso/видео.html. As for creating your own content, you could start here with the basics (text) ruclips.net/video/okrqJkka7ng/видео.html and then build up your animation skills with many more tutorials for software like After Effects on RUclips.I sell some pre-made stuff www.lumabox.com/product/fairytale-horse-carriage/
Are you on a Mac? You might have entered fullscreen. Hover your mouse on the top edge of the screen, then when the window header appears, click the green button to exit fullscreen. That might work? Let me know.
Hi, I've seen all of your tutorials and they're awesome but I have a question. What if my cake is not of perfect shape like your example? It looks like a castle and I'm not sure if your ready-to-use footages from lumabakery will fit, how do I find out?
This tutorial might help you a little bit ruclips.net/video/y8qF-PA2qO4/видео.html. Also, if your surfaces are irregularly shaped then your input meshes in your mapping software will also need to be more complex than just rectangular boxes. You can do this to some extent in MapMap by increasing the Subdivisions of your meshes and pulling them to fit around your surface. Or, in a more sophisticated mapping application like MadMapper, you could mask out some areas where you don't want content to appear (I do a bit of that in this tutorial ruclips.net/video/1Typv7KxBRM/видео.html). The content I sell in my shop will only work out-of-the-box for surfaces close to the ones I use in my example. Anything else will require some degree of adjustment, but that doesn't mean they won't work with a bit of tweaking.
No sadly :( Either string your video sequence together in a video editing program and save it out as one long video or think about upgrading to a more sophisticated (paid) mapping application.
Hi - quick question. Is it possible to use different sized cake tiers and still make your videos work? That is, will the mapping be accurate on 4" inch tiers instead of 5"? We would still use 5 layers, we just need to make the tiers smaller. Thanks!
Hi Georgina - Another good video. One question, approximately what is the height of your projector above the cake table level? i.e. are you projecting downwards at the cake at an angle, or directly horizontally in line with it? i.e. centre line of lens on centre line of cake, If you know what I mean :)

Hello! I used the link in your resources to go to the MapMap website to download the software and it doesn't do anything when I click on the link. It won't download. I am on a windows and clicked the windows link. How do I get it to download.
This free video is a short looping version. The product on the website is the full version which transitions in and out of the cascade which is far more professional if you are using it for an event. But if you are unhappy, please email info@lumabakery.com

Will dis work on all type of cakes?? Lyk whip cream cakes
I won't work well on cakes with very bumpy/irregular surfaces so I wouldn't recommend it for whipped cream
MapMap is no longer supported. Does anyone have the 0.6.2 dmg for MacOS??? I would really appreciate it.Thanks!
Sad times 😢 I was finding with recent MacOS updates it wasn't functioning properly, even if you do track down a dmg
Mapmap is no longer maintained in 2023. What is the alternative to this software??
Yes, it's very sad 😢 Free? For cake mapping, not much
Tutorial Resources .zip page can not be found - bad link
This is now fixed 👍 Sorry for the inconvenience
Thank you so much.
No problem 😁👍

That's right, there aren't any options to export your mapping in MapMap. You could do a screen recording to show your clients?

Many thanks for the nice tutorial, quick question ? what if the cake is in a circle shape ? can we still do mapping on it
Yes absolutely. I have a tutorial on that coming soon...
@@LumaBox I´m Waiting for it !
Hi, quick question, what if I only have one tier? Can it still work? Lol
Yes of course. But you might want to select your video content carefully since you’re working with a canvas that’s much wider than it is high
how to export the videos from map map?
I don’t think you can. You could screen capture as a cheat.

HOW CAN I USE MORE THAN ONE VIDEIO AT THE SAME TIME
You can’t do this with MapMap unless you use some video editing software to create a composite of more than one video into one video
can you make tutorials on particle ? which softare do you use for particle making?
I use After Effects
can I add more than one video by using mapmap?
No sadly :( Either string your video sequence together in a video editing program and save it out as one long video or think about upgrading to a more sophisticated (paid) mapping application.
Thank you

Just bring in your media (photos etc) instead of the cascade and switch to it once you've finished your mapping.
I can't get Map Map to install. Does it work with the latest version of MacOS?
Should do. It does for me. v0.6.2. Did you see that Mac users also need to download GStreamer?
THanks!
