    Hi,
    I am trying to build a 55" LED TV screen. I applied video texture to a "square box". However texture is applied to all surfaces of the box. Is there a way to apply the video texture to just the front surface of the box?

    In short no, but if you can model the box in Vectorworks or Blender for example you can apply a dummy material to just that side and then replace it in capture. Or you create a slighty bigger box in Capture and move your Lightbox inside it and leave the side you want to light up stick oout a little bit. I hope that makes sense..

    You can use the built in screens; Library > Objects > Electronics. You can set a custom screen size in the properties.You can then apply a material as normal to the screen and it will only apply to the screen element of it.
