Auto scale layer in multiview

Hello everyone.
I have a multiview in which one layer consists of different media sources. They can have any aspect ratio from 16:9 to 9:16. But they all need to fit into a rectangular area. How can I set up automatic fitting to the inner boundaries of this area? I thought about writing a VB script but didn't understand how to get the resolution value of the media file for a specific input. This information is not present in the current status XML.
Is there a way to configure this using standard tools or to retrieve this information in a script?

Source will fit into the map , check with the "Demo UVMap VirtualSetWorks "set

I dont know how you created the UV map or modified it but if one has a standard screensize UVMAP any input assigned to should be inside it !

Is a mask working in your case then? You can have a special shape mask and use whatever input. It wouldn't resize the input but allow a special predefined shape.

Is there a way to configure this using standard tools or to retrieve this information in a script? First of all, apologies for the "Useless Response". just store a custom xml in DynamicValue that stores the info you need, then pull data from that using VB. here's an example from the StreamingAlchemy Show https://github.com/StreamingAlch...ain/SA-S02E07/SetBox1.vbCode:Dynamic1Val = "<Slots><Slot1>A</Slot1><Slot2>B</Slot2><Slot3>C</Slot3><Slot4>D</Slot4></Slots>"
API.Function("SetDynamicValue1", Value:=Dynamic1Val)
Code:dim Dynamic1Node As XmlNode = VmixXML.selectSingleNode("/vmix/dynamic/value1")
dim SlotXML as new system.xml.xmldocument
SlotXML.LoadXml(Dynamic1Node.InnerText)
Slot1Guest = SlotXML.selectSingleNode("/Slots/Slot1").InnerText
Slot2Guest = SlotXML.selectSingleNode("/Slots/Slot2").InnerText
Slot3Guest = SlotXML.selectSingleNode("/Slots/Slot3").InnerText
Slot4Guest = SlotXML.selectSingleNode("/Slots/Slot4").InnerText

Thank You, for your answer. But that also not an automatic. You need to manually enter resolution. But when You on news show sometimes You only have 10 seconds for import media to vMix, before have it live.
