Graphics

In my sequencer i have 2 scenes which are almost the same but with some different animations.

They have the same text objects in them.

Lets call them text1, text2 and text3. These object are static and published.

I want to have my second scene read the content of these 3 textobject in the first scene. (so you don't have fill in the object twice)

Scene 1, text 1 = scene 2, text 1

etc....

Can somebody point me in the right direction how to achieve this with a little scripting

Thanks!

Hey Niek,

Maybe I'm not fully understanding what you want to achieve, but is the purpose of the two scenes to have two different animations?

If that's the case? why not have 1 scene with both animations then build a variable in the scene that switches which one is being used? I personally feel that would be easier to implement than trying to retrieve data from another take ID especially since the take ID value and position may be different every time.

what I'm thinking is have a published text object in the scene that has it's visibility turned off. Use this text object as as selector of sorts if you type value 1 you get animation 1 value 2 = animation 2 etc.

Let me know what you think.

Hi Andrew, Thanks for responding.

Its a little bit more complicated than just two different animations.

Each scene has it's own background video clip and different audio. The animations are all in the background video.

The take id's are always the same. They are the first clips of our news show and they are templated in overdrive.

what about synchronizing the text in the two scenes with datalinq?

I will take a crack at scripting something let me see what I can do.

Datalinq is a possibility but I don't want to let my users leave the Xpression GUI just for this.

There are used to use static text fields.

Thanks for trying something with scripting.
