Recently, I had a scene with a clock that when it reached o:oo it needed to dissolve away and dissolve on different text, of which were in two separate groups.

I made a VL that I thought would do this for me automatically. But for some reason it did not work.

Basically, I used a String Compare block that when clock is 0:00, compare to String Value (0:00), play CHANGE TEXT Scene Director. When clock reaches 0:00 the String Compare block Equal outputs 1 but the CHANGE TEXT Scene Director does not play. Not sure why? Any thoughts?

So I kept working on this, occured to me that String Compare outputs a Boolean as opposed to an Integer. So I routed it to a Input selector and then routed that output to the Scene Director.Play. On the Layout side it works perfectly now. From the Sequencer, when I take to air the text dissolves immediately.

I'll look into it and see if I can find the reason.

Try this sample, it seems ok for me.. https://transfer.rossvideo.com/f/20cc3a626df99342
I just made a scene dir that moves the text when it hits 0:00. You can restart the timer widget and next time it hits 0:00 it runs again..

Sorry forgot to mention this was on XPression 8.0. Not sure of build. And forgot to attach 2nd photo.

Thanks bford. After seeing your example, it occurred to me to resend my scene to the Sequencer. Then it worked exactly as I wanted. Thank you.
