Production Switchers

Hi,

Brief run down...

Custom control to run RTD in and out of replays.

I am sure I am doing it the worst way possible and need some input on better ways of doing it.

CC 1 - Select Media, Select Key 1 (RTD to run ontop of Key1 - RTD animates out of lower 3rd Graphic), Auto-Trans, pause for 17frames, Cut to Source (EVS)

CC 2 - Select Media, Reverse Media, Select Key 1, Auto-Trans, Pause 6 frames, Cut to Source (designated source)

Now, CC 1 works a treat. RTD plays over top the keyed GFX so the animation works as its suppose to and it cuts Key 1 (GFX) on frame 17 (Full frame)

CC 2 - 2 problems.

1. Key 1 (GFX) cuts back in after the CC has fully run, so its not animating back in. I need the Key 1 to be enabled from frame 6 onward. thoughts?

2. How do I setup the CC to cut to the PRV selected source? Currently have a cut to actual source setup in the CC.

Johno-

Sounds like for problem #1 you have one to many Key 1 cut state changes in the CC --- I have done it before by mistake. Basically it turns it on and then off again in a blink of an eye. Solution- delete one,

#2 - Just put a Background CUT dialogue in the CC when you want to make the cut and a PAUSE before it. (see below example) -- thus allowing you to select which source you want to cut back to.

BASIC REPLAY IN EXAMPLE:

ME 2 KEY 4 ((source selecting- I flip keyers for different things) media player 1)

Media player 1 (what ever tga sequence I want to run)

Media Player 1 (run)

ME 2 Key 4 (cut)

Pause 20 frames

ME 2 (Background CUT)

ME 2 (Background trans rate 8 ) -- so I can dissolve various sources for replay

ME 2 KEY 4 ((source selecting- I flip keyers for different things) TELE)

Pause 20 frames

ME 2 Key 4 (cut)

BASIC REPLAY OUT EXAMPLE:

PRV - ME1 (I cut my show on ME1 so I put in the CC to select ME1 in PVW on ME2)

ME 2 KEY 4 ((source selecting- I flip keyers for different things) media player 1)

Media player 1 (what ever tga sequence I want to run)

Media Player 1 (run)

ME 2 Key 4 (cut)

Pause 20 frames

ME 2 (Background CUT)

ME 2 (Background trans rate 15) -- so I can dissolve various sources clean or with CG

Pause 20 frames

ME 2 Key 4 (cut)

PVW ME2

NOTE -- The 20 Pauses can be changed to whatever the the underlying cut point is and or how long you need to have the effect to keep showing before the next dialogue is in the CC that turns off the keyer that has the effect.

If you would like to talk just email me, gordonmoneyhan@gmail.com , your number and I will be glad to help as best I can if the above does not work for you.

Cheers Gordon, worked a treat.

Have changed up a little bit as the weeks go on. Nice to be doing the same game format week in week out. Work out the kinks and refine a lot of things.
