Graphics

So... I have a pair of full screen graphics, with two separate templates as they contain different types of information.
However, I still want them to have the "same" kind of back-to-back transitions.

The "backplate" of the full screen graphic is the same, so I can simply make an animation that does the same for both of them, that's not the issue.
However, following this tutorial here:
https://www.rossvideo.com/gallery/xpression-u/xpression-transition-logic/

I set it up so I have individual Scene Directors for In and Out (working just fine).
I also have a new rule below that again, with a back-to-back condition checking if the scene ID of the other is online (so scene 1 checks if scene 2 is online, and scene 2 checks if scene 1 is online).

Here's what happens.

• If I take scene 1 online, it animates in as supposed to.
• If I take scene 1 offline, it animtes out as supposed to.
• If I take scene 2 online, it animates in as supposed to.
• If I take scene 2 offline, it animates out as supposed to.
• If I have scene 1 online, and take scene 2 online, the rule kicks in, and I get the back-to-back animation into scene 2, as supposed to.
• If I have scene 2 online, and take scene 1 online, the rule does NOT kick in, and I get the out animation of scene 2 before I get the IN animation of scene 1.
(And yes I have made sure I changed the scene ID to check for scene 1 and not scene 2).

So basically, the rule works one way, but not the other, and I've been staring at this for the last 2 hours now and I just cannot see what I've done wrong. Especially since it works from scene 1 to 2, but not from 2 to 1. The "logic" between them should be the same (except to check for another Scene ID).

Anyone have any experience, ideas, know of any traps/reasons why this shouldt work?
Currently in Xpression Designer v.6.5 build: 3672.

So...

After tearing my hair out.. I went for another redo, this time I changed the scene IDs to be specific scene 6 and scene 8.
Did exactly the same as before, and for some reason, it works now...

Can mention that I did a reboot as well in between...

I dunno if I made a mistake in typing or what not the first round, or if a reboot fixed the issue, but for some reason it works now.
I dunno what I did... But I'll take it!

Hey astalsberg - I've had my share of frustrations with TL - but I always go back to this tutorial for a good refresher as it tends to cover off some of the things that can easily be overlooked when building out your TL conditions and rules:

I hope this helps you as it's helped me...
