Xpression Pause a Lower Third Graphic

    Hi,

    I have a lower third graphic that animates in then animates out. I've attached the video. 

    I want the lower third to animate IN to see our agenda items and stay there and not animate out. I want it to animate out when i call up another agenda item.

    So it will animate in...pause...animate out when another id is called and new lower third comes in and pauses until next ID. 

    I hope i made sense. 

    Thank you.

    Seems like you need transition logic.

     I inserted a video in 2 different scene directors and I have it working correctly for a lower third. I when i double click the take item my lower third animates in and pauses. when i click another take id.. it animates out and new id animates in. I want to add text to my lower third. In the tutorial i see the text in the scene director but I don't know how they got the text in the scene director. I tried the drag and drop and nothing. how do i  insert text in different scene directors ?  this is the video i was watching....

    Scroll down, you should see all your objects in the scene directors.

    HI,

    I'm sorry but I'm confused. What the video is showing and what you are saying are different. I've attached a video below. I want to keep the same scene   but just the text go in and out...not the animation. I'm following the video but when I get to the transition logic and add rule for back to back I get lost. I'm trying to add my text to the scene director so then I can get the option in the back to back but I don't know how. Also, I've attached pics of what I have done if it helps.

    thanks for your help.

    Either make a scene director, add an animation controller and animate your text or add a stagger animation to the text object track in the scene director.

    Hi red.,

    When I click from one ID  number to another the text now changes like it should. It's seeing my graphic but not my entire lower third. It looks like it's reading the 1st Frame of my graphic. This is an avibfile I rendered out that plays the lower third in and out. 
    thank you.

    I saw one of your videos on transition logic Red. I went in the scene director and right click on Set Default Frame Marker and that resolved my issue. I'm new to the xpression side of tv production. Thank you.

    hi red,

     I just notice that when i play my scene directors effect in... it plays fine. When i play my scene director effect out... i can't see my text even thou it plays fine when i play it on the sequenc side. Does this have something to do with the default frame marker i added to it? 

    Thank you.

    Yes most likely it is. Default frame makers should be used sparingly. They are there to tell the scene director where to be where its not playing.

    I usually only place mine on out directors at the beginning, not in and out as you can get conflicts. 

    If unsure I recommend removing all of them and rewinding all your directors to the beginning and see what behavior you have then. 

    Rewind them in such a way that you graphic is in a good holding position, i.e it is animated in, text is visible etc. 

    Once you are sure of this then you can place them.

    Hi red, I added a scene director, an added a animation controller to my text. i see my text go in and out when i play it in the scene director but when i put the scene manager in the sequencer it does NOT play my text. What i'm i missing? Even if i add keyframes to my text to come in and out and not add a animation controller i still don't see it. 

    Thanks

    Hi red,

    Thanks for the video on Transition Logic. I got it to work. Your video was great at explaining it.

    I have another issue thou. Pictures and Videos are attached.

    I did a  duplicate of a scene that i did with your explanation of transition logic. In the new scene i added another text and i animated it.

    Following your video instead of using both text in, I used three text in and went from there. I'm having an issue with my 3rd text animating in and out when i go back to back in the same scene. I added all the rules but I think I'm missing one. I pretty much followed your steps because it's working for my both text in scene.

    I added pictures of my rules. also, the video shows that  when the bottom text goes out and back in...the Top right item number should animate in and out but only dissolves. Then when  I don't have the  text at the botto...the top right text numbers animates in and out like I want. I've tried every single combination of back to back conditions and nothing. I'm sure I just have it backwards somewhere but cant figure it out.

    Last  thing, on my scene director for the item number out I have a mask and see it go behnd my mask, but when i play it out on the sequencer it doesn't go behind the mask. you can seee it when you look at the video. thank you for your help and patience with me.

    Hi Red, 

    Update, I figured out the part where the text was not going behind the mask. I just re-did the mask for the scene directors and it worked. This is how i have the rules now. In this latest video I want the TOP RIGHT TEXT to animate in and out when the bottom text changes to a new item. It just dissolves now. When the scene changes....like  when all the text are different, all the text animate in and out like they should. I just can't get the top right text to Animate in and out when the bottom text  changes....I'm close but i having issues with the rules i think in the back to back. i don't know.

    Thank you.
