Production Switchers

Hi everybody. I have a CC that does some crazy things to the DSK. It takes key 3 and 4, builds a mask around both and does some different fade times. What I get is a lower 3rd that fades in the just the logo part of a lower 3rd, pauses a few frames then fades in the text part of the lower 3rd, does a hold then fades the whole thing out and then resets all the keys to normal. It's my way of adding some level level of style to a simple fade ointment of a lower 3rd. I do this all by recalling 3 memories. 

In an upcoming show, I need to add a bug that stays the whole time. Is there a way to build this so that one DSK (the bug) is ignored by all this? I want control as to when to add this bug that is outside what all the other keys are doing. A "no matter what is happening, ignore anything DSK 4 is doing"  button.

Hi Danny, 

I'm a freelance Director/TD and have also run into a few cases of CCs acting strangely. 

In some cases I solved the problem by rebuilding the CC from scratch. 

In your case are you triggering any mem or state recalls? If so check the Live Assist/Mem menus in Dashboard and make sure the save and recall areas are set the way you want.

Another item to check is if you have any MEs set to follow each other.

Cheers,

Mike
