I draw on my Ipad and it would be great to be able to have fresco open on my pc or laptop and have just the canvas up so I can see what my drawing looks like live at the size it would be in say a youtube video while im drawing on my ipad. So basically a live sync between canvases between my ipad and pc.

Hi @determined_life1238,

 

That sounds like a great workflow idea! Luckily, Fresco has a feature that might help you achieve this.

 

You can use Canvas Projection to mirror your canvas onto an external display while you continue drawing on your iPad. This allows you to zoom in and work on finer details while seeing your artwork at full scale on another screen—perfect for checking how it would look in a YouTube video.

 

To enable this:

1. Connect your iPad to an external display using USB-C, HDMI, or AirPlay.

2. Go to App Settings > General > Interface > Canvas Projection and turn it on.

 

Let me know if this helps or if you need further guidance!

 

Best,

Anshul Saini
