  • 1.  Open/Stinger Videos Freezing/Stuttering

    Posted 10-29-2024 12:01

    We've been having an issue lately of stingers/opens will either freeze completely after a second, or stutter through playback when we take them. 
    We're using Overdrive and Xpression. The source video files have the same settings as our other video files. And when we go back and play them again, the files play out fine - no freezing or stuttering. 

    Could it be a network issue? Something with Overdrive?

    Are you storing the clips locally on the XPression or playing them over network?

    They're being played over the network.

    In Rocket Surgery we usually keep video files locally on the machine, we make shares on the XPression machines themselves so they can be dropped in via network from edit machines and other areas of the business. 

    To keep clips in sync we either use Clips Store if purchased or if the client hasn't purchased Clip Store we use some sync software so that all machines receive the same files. 

    Someone from the XPression team might have more to say on this but that's our preference for handling videos.

    Hi everyone.
    John, try doing it this way:
    1. Creat bat  file with robocopy  string like this :

    robocopy  \\{XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX}\{FOLDER}\  C:\media\ *.avi /S /MIR

     (mirroring from  the net folder to local). And run this bat file using scheduler of your comp (exemple one time in 5 minet)

    2. If you use template links material, set in InBeforOnLine the next scrips

            Dim obj As xpBaseObject
        self.GetObjectByName("BG", obj)
        Dim mat As xpMaterial
        If obj.GetMaterial(0, mat) Then
            Dim shader As xpVideoShader
            If mat.GetShader(0, shader) Then
                    Dim name As String = shader.FileName.Replace("N:\{FOLDER}", "C:\media") 'changing path to local
                    shader.SetFileName(name)
                    shader.ReloadFile()
            End If
        End If
