I tried it and nothing. Also, I was thinking a visual logic because I'm using it for the logo not to appear when no text and that's working fine. I just couldn't find for the problem I'm having. Maybe it's there but I don't see it. I'm new to all this. Lol. I'm getting there thou.

Bit higher under 4 you can reply to him dirctly. Have you tried Ctrl D = disable
I was thinking maybe a script that asks before the scene goes online if their is data in the datalinq and if not to disable the scene - but not shure at all if that would work.

Hi Laz,
it reads always all the scenes that are in the group. If you do it manualy there are 2 ways eather just disable all not used scenes 6006 to 6025 with "Control" and " D" then they will be not red. If you used "relid" in the scenes you can also just delete them and later for more used insert them again.
By the way nothing to do with your problem: Ceck also if you read out of $tablename of the excel. It is always better to read out of a selfnamed table in excel. If you google "how to create a table with name manager in excel" you will get informations.
For the automaticly without a gap and always having 25 scenes you have to ask Simon for more ideas.
Cheers Nicole

Hi Nicole,
I have another question about the crawl. LOL.
I have my text for my crawl datalinq to a excel worksheet. On my sequencer side of xpression I have 25 scenes. When we do our meetings we possibly can have 25 agenda items that the commissioners can vote on or more. For now I have 25 scenes. On my excel worksheet i only have 5 rows with text.
How do i get my crawl to start back from the beginning? After the 5th row in excel, my rows are blank and my crawl doesn't start from row 1 again.I noticed that its still reading all my other scenes in my sequencer even thou i dont have text on them, then it starts from the beginning like 45 seconds later.
Thank you.

I did that where i build a normal scene but when i played it my blue line graphic and logos all moved with the graphic. Yes, i can log in to see on your computer. Our Xpression is in use right now. Can we do a zoom meeting? You have Microsoft Teams?
Everything was correct in the Excel Sheet

I have time for a teams session when you have internet on your system - or i quickly show you on mine - email schindeldecker@gmx.de
When you want to use the dataloinq relid - forget the scenegroup in the layout build a normal scene datalinq it to your excel. make shure the group you have has the correct Take id - relid calculates group id minus takeid of the scene .- so incasee group is 100 and first scene is 101 - it is 100 - 101 makes row 1 in the excel.

If i drag the SCENE GROUP into the sequencer I should be able to play the scene 1 correct? How about if i datalinq other rows for the crawl? Then all other scenes should play right? I'm trying to do what university video QT 178 did using <%relid%> but it didn't work out for me. I never saw my text even thou it was datalinq. I'm sure i missed a step, but i've seen the video like 20 times. If i can't get it to work, i'll use it how i have it now.
Thank you Nicole.
Red.... The visual Logic worked GREAT! Thank you.

Hi Laz,
for me it looks like you are mixing up 2 things.
First way:
You can build a crawl with a SceneGroup - what later is on the squencer just 1 single scene.
There you have to put all other scenes as children into the scene group - so on picture 2 should be Scene 2 ... Scene 3... inside the SceneGroup. When you playout that scene then the background will be there. In Xpression University Video QT172 shows it.
Second way:
What you did in the sequencer is to make a group crawl and inside the group you used single scenes - that is another way to do it. But you still need a background scene out of this group maybe in another group. Put it on the same Framebuffer but one layer lower. You have to start both groups eather manualy or if you want exactly at the same time you can write a keyboard macro.

Hi
I'm doing a crawl in xpression and i got it to work, but my blue graphics and logo won't come out on the screen. I have attached pictures.
I have a my text link to an exel spreedsheet. Any suggestions? Also, how do i get the logo to NOT come out in between the crawl when there is nothing on the crawl?
Thank you.
