  • 1.  Macro states not recalling correctly?

    Posted 08-21-2019 19:49

    I've set up a macro utilising two states which are recalled using Effect Dissolves (they aren't too complicated, just cropping and moving two DVE keys so that they overlap each other and are both visible in the frame)

    I've chosen the attributes that I want to be included in the State using Recall Attributes in the Dashboard and inserted the State however it appears to me that the recalls are changing things that it shouldn't be.  For instance, I have deselected Auxes, but these are still changing when the state is recalled.  (This is proving to be a problem because the Auxes drive monitors on our studio floor!)

    I'm at a loss for what's happening and have got to the stage that I think this may be a bug in the software.  Am I being silly? Am I missing something obvious?!  Any advice would be gratefully received!

    When you are inserting State in a Custom Control you have to use the State Attributes on the Custom Control DashBoard page (3rd sub menu -- Shotbox - Editor - State)

    These are the same as the STORE attributes.  As in these are what are Stored with the State or the Memory.

    Recall Attributes are Global Overrides that can be used to force an over ride on a memory....however they do not apply to a custom control state.

     

    So make sure that you setup your Store -- or State -- Attributes correctly in the memory before you insert the state event in the custom control.

     

    Also I would recommend that in the future you list the model of Carbonite and the Version of software that you are on....In DashBoard you can find this on the Status page.

    Additionally anytime you can put the setup files in say dropbox and post a link that would also help since we could then use the Custom or the memory that you have to recreate the issue.  Thanks.

    Hi Les,

    Thank you for the advice.  This morning I have tried to set up a fresh Custom Control with the Auxes deselected from Attributes and on playback they are still being recalled.  Interestingly I also deselected Program Bus and Preview bus and they did not change.

    I have supplied a link to my files in OneDrive as below.  The customs I am struggling with are cc102, cc103 and cc801.

    The switcher is a Carbonite Ultra with current software version 2.0.0.2122.

    Thank you :)
