  • 1.  Media Wipe DVE

    Posted 08-29-2023 15:43

    I have a media wipe that uses a DVE push right. When played from dashboard using the auto trans button, it behaves as expected .. a DVE push right. Flip flop off. Direction Forward. 

    When I add this effect to a custom control, the DVE does a push right only once. Subsequent CC recalls it is a push left. It doesn't flip flop. It just decides it's now a push left from this point on. When you go back to dashboard and press auto trans (or on the panel), it's also a push left, even though push right is highlighted. 

    In dashboard, tapping and highlighting push left and then tapping and re-highlighting push right returns the correct DVE move until the CC is used again.

    The CC has nothing special going on that I can think of. It loads the media, puts ME P/P into Media Wipe, pauses 5 frames, does an ME P/P auto trans, pauses 100 frames and put the transition panel back into DISS. I've used this CC with many media wipe transitions. This is the first using it with a DVE. In any case, I rebuilt the CC for this specific effect thinking this is where the flaw is. 

    I have attached a link to a video that may be helpful.

    Wait...what? It wasn't me missing an obvious step? 

    Well ... that's new.

    Well ... it could still be :)

    Or its something in a combination of steps / Custom Control...

    Could we get the Show file for this and which Custom Control is running the animation?

    also the Animation if it's no too much to ask :)

    Hello Danny, you could try to add in the CC a new step: DVE wipe direction forward, just before the Auto trans step

    the Media wipe should not actually have a "direction" required at all ..  since it is to run Right to left it should just be that..  If it is resetting to the other wipe we need to find out why it reset to the DVE that moves the other way.  Flip Flop and changing of direction should be ignored with Media Wipes since the animation runs the same direction always.
