  • 1.  How to create a short endless, seamless ticker?

    Posted 12-05-2018 11:00
    I want to create a short ticker and run in loop, having as a background one bar and easy edit text from sequencer.
    The message is short, something like: "COMMERCIAL BREAK >>> " and the ticker should be endless like: COMMERCIAL BREAK >>> COMMERCIAL BREAK >>> ...
    1. If I have one crawl scene group with background bar in parent scene and text in child scene, the crawl have a huge break at the end even if the scene group is in loop mode, blank page at the start and end is unchecked.
    2. If I make the crawl from sequencer (playout mode group: crawl) I have the same break at the end and no background bar here.

    The single solution is 1st solution but having a longer text (multiple inputs of the same text) and having more than 1 child => is hard to operate.

    Any sugestion?

    May not be the best but it worked for me. I have found out that you need to fill the crawl for the resolution. So, what I did for the "COMMERCIAL BREAK >>> ", was make the first scene in the crawl and Datalinq the text to a DashBoard field. This way the producer can edit text on the fly. Then made three dupes of that scene. Now it is a endless loop without it popping in. On my project I had more text than "COMMERCIAL BREAK >>> " so I only needed one dupe of the scene.
