Production Workflow

Hey All,

Looking for some help on a script. Trying to come up with a way to take a scene live from the sequence and bypassing any animation and loading right to the hold event (for time sensitive inserts). I know Bannister Lake has this functionality through the ScoreBug product, but looking for a way to do it within Xpression itself.

Newer to scripting, so any help would be appreciated!

Thanks so much,

Ryan

Hi Ryan,

If I understand you correctly, you've got a scene with an animation controller that performs some animation.

So for example, an animation that starts on frame 0 and ends on frame 50.

You would like to skip the animation and jump immediately to frame 50? Is this correct?

If so, you can do that from within the sequencer itself.

For every scene inside the sequencer you can also set the control settings for that scene.

So if you go to the tab Scene Control you can specify a Play Range where you can put from frame 50 to frame 50.

That way the scene will be loaded and it will show the graphic at the end of the anmation. Eg frame 50.

Best regards,

Kenneth

Hi Kenneth,

Thanks for your reply. I was aware of the play range. I was just hoping there was a way to create a shortcut for that process. I know this is probably a curse word on this forum....but think Chyron. I can pull up a page and just take live without animating on, but continuous animations still work.

Any thoughts?
