      This seems so simple, but I've been struggling with this for the past 2 days.

      I have a video file that contains a grid of smaller videos. The grid is made up of perfect sqaures, and is 34x26. I'd like to be able to take that video file, and put it onto a Cloner set to grid mode, and I want each clone to display one of the tiles. I also want the order of the grid to match the video file.

      I've tried projecting the video file onto the clones, but the clones have a border, so it's not lining up correctly. I've also tried using Scalar User Data in the Redshift material, and using the Object ID Normalized attribute, which also isn't quite working. But perhaps I'm configuring things incorrectly.

      If anyone has done something similar, I'd be grateful for any insight. This seems so simple but I can't quite figure it out!

      Thanks!

        Hi hurt-valuable,

        Why not use PolyFX?

        Please have a look at the example below. Place your image sequence in the material.

        Is this working for you?

        All the best
