Trying to build a ticker roll that pauses on each item the auto resumes

  • 1.  Trying to build a ticker roll that pauses on each item the auto resumes

    Posted 16 days ago

    I've looked all through this forum and can't get a concise answer how to do this. I'm halfway there, using event markers, but nothing is lining up right or staying in the position it needs to be.

    Any help would be appreciated

    Do you have a little information about what you mean?

    Sorry for the confusion.


    I'm trying to use a scene group roll to have a line of text roll up on the y axis from the bottom on to a ticker bar, pause for a set amount of time, then roll up and have the next line of info replace it. Then the whole group needs to loop.


    I have these on different scenes with event markers, but it's not working correctly. Currently, the first line rolls up to the position i want, then rolls up, but the next lines don't pause. Instead, all of the text rolls up to the top of the screen and loops.


    How do I get this to work correctly?

    Sounds like maybe you want "Timed" Playout Mode for your group.

    He's using a scene group not a sequence group and trying to use event objects to control when it stops and starts.

    I just need to see it running to see what it is doing that he isn't happy with.

    Hi Paul,

    Reading your description, to me using a roll doesn't seem to be the best solution for the effect you want. I would build use a scene which contains 2 TextObjects and an animation scrolling both lines up to hide the first from the strap and show the second on the strap. You put this scene in the sequencer multiple times and have TakeItem 1 use your text line 1 and 2, TakeItem 2 use your text line 2 and 3,  etc.. If you put all these TakeItems in one group and have that group loop, I guess you're there.

    You then can start improving this to make it easier to use, e.g. use DataLinq for the contents or anything else you would want to improve, but what I described above is the basis.

    Gerard, looked at doing that, but the issue is, we're doing this through MOS in ENPS, not manually through sequencer

    Hey Paul, do you have a visual example of what you are trying to achieve, I struggle to visualize words sometimes.

    Do you have an event marker in every sub scene?

    I didn't see attached but unfortunately I am tight on several deadlines so cannot take a look at the moment. 

    What I will say is, if you have eases on the show / hide event markers my guess is they don't have time to complete before the next event market appears, or because the scene is small you have multiple scenes / event markers online at once so you have conflicts.

    I assume what you are trying to achieve is the text automatically updating through data as it ticks along. 

    You maybe be better off with a single scene and a looping scene director with a script that updates a datalinq key each loop.

    I can help you with this if you need.
