  • 1.  Maximum Number of Active Media Wipes?

    Posted 02-12-2016 20:02
    We do a newscast on our NBC station with 3-4 media wipes and a newscast on our Fox Station with 3-4 media wipes and now both stations have added a political package with an additional 5-6 media wipes. When my director loads the new wipes and sets up custom controls she loses the original NBC/Fox wipes and when she reloads them the new political wipes go away. I'm wondering if there is a limit to the number of media wipes that be active at any one time.

    For background: the TGA sequences are on the USB drive and were transferred in via FTP. She is using Media Manager in Dashboard to load the animations and create the custom controls.

    Channels 2 and 4 which are the defaults have 4 GB of tame cache. In 1080 this is around 398 frames with alpha and audio. However if you use channels 1/3 as well then you can double that amount. When building the custom controls you can hold down the media button then on the PST row pick media 1 as the source -- or do this in dashboard live assist on the right column to select the channel.
