  • 1.  Working with pre-rendered animations in Xpression

    Posted 09-01-2015 15:07
    I'm currently porting animation files over to Xpression, from graphics templates that existed in Inscriber. What I'm struggling with is how best to incorporate the pre-rendered animation files that are being supplied to me for lower third and fullpage backgrounds. Specifically what I would like to do is add text and logo elements created in Xpression with the pre-rendered elements, and have control over the playback aspects of the pre-rendered video. I know I can add the video to a Scene Director, and I believe I can add events to change the speed or jump to specific frames in the video, but when I scrub through the Scene Director timeline, the video doesn't show in my Viewport, and won't playback when I double-click the Scene which includes the video and the Xpression-created text and logo elements. What am I missing? I am able to see the video element when I apply it as a material to a quad object.

    Turn off auto-start and free running on video materials that are added to the scene director.
