Production Switchers

Hi to all, I have a Carbonite vers. 12.1.0.15322 and Dashboard 8.1.2. running in PAL at 50 i. I loaded 5 packets with animated lower third on my USB-Stick. Each packet has 201 frames in format .png, each packet has the size of appr. 70MB. An example for the names given is "BB_Brossardt_001.png" for the first frame of this lower third. I can load 2 packets in FM 1, and after loading to the carbonite memory I can switch from one to the other and let them run. If I load a third packet in FM 1 I have the problem that the cabonite will reload the first or second packet. This takes about 4 Minutes. Why c'ant Carbonite load all three packets (240 MB together) in his internal 8 GB memory? There should be enough storage left.

Those are "compressed" files -- they need to be uncompressed into "video space" and thus your going over the total amount of memory -- Note that it is 4GB for Media Store 1 and 3, and then it is another 4GB for Media Store 2+4. Tip for you would be to render the file to the size you need -- i.e. since you say they are lower thirds don't render as Full Raster but only the size that they need to be. Then when you load them you will be able to use the Media Properties to position them.

Usually what I do to ensure position is correct is that I load a single Full Frame of the Lower third as a sample. Then I load the vertically reduced images. You put the on frame into say Media 2/4 so that you can put that on the background -- load in the animation one and then key it over top. Use the parameters to move it to the correct location. Save this and now any time is loads it will use these new parameters.
