We've just installed the NLE plugin on our avids. The plugin works fine, connects to the project server but when the template is added to the timeline it doesn't animate. It just comes in at the preview marker. It doesn't play any scene directors. In the Xpression U video it was playing scene director animation so there must be a way.

Ideas?

thanks

Have you assigned one of our scene directors to be the NLE scene director? In the Scene Director Manager right click on a scene direction and set its usage to NLE.

I didn't. I'll do that now. Thanks!

I did that and I did get animation but it only animated half of my animation, then it stopped. it did that with multiple templates. How do I get it to play the entire Scene Director?

Hey, the best option is to make a scene director dedicated for NLE that plays in and out, it needs to symmetrical and what we do is basically hold / stretch the middle key from of the length of the animations. For example, if your entire animation is 60 frames we will always hold the middle one so you're in should be 30 and out should be 30. However, they don't have to be exactly the same. For example, if you're in is 30 frames and your out is only 10 simply take the out 10 frames to frame 50 and this will make the total length 60 frames.
