  • 1.  Xpression Virtual Output

    Posted 07-11-2025 14:29

    Hi Everyone,

    We are upgrading our xpression system from version 8 to Version 11.5. A lot of the set up i forgot. How can i set up my virtual output to animate my lower third?

    I click on a take ID and i see in the virtual ouput but it won't play my animation. What i'm i missing? I compard it to our other system but nothing.

    Thank you.

    Virtual output behaves the same as any other output. 

    You don't turn out animations for VOs. 

    My guess is your transition logic or default scene director are wrong.

    It kind of sounds like you have your virtual output set as Up Next Preview, but you are not actually playing out to the virtual output as a channel. 

    Have you assigned the Take ID to be the Framebuffer # of the virtual output? 

    For reference this is where you set Up Next Preview (previews do not animate):

    Yes. Thank you.  That was my issue.  I already fixed it.  It took me awhile to figure that out.  That's exactly what it was.  Thanks
