Keyboard Mapping User Keys for Multiple Projects in a Project Group

Hello, I've been working on merging two projects for back-to-back shows into a single project group. Both projects use the XPression keyboard's User keys to Take particular Take IDs via keyboard mapping. I've made sure each project's Take IDs don't overlap with each other. I've saved one keyboard ...

If I’m following what you’re saying, I don’t believe that works - I went back and checked this a couple weeks ago, and it appears that For each the incoming and outgoing scene, the transition logic will proceed immediately with the first set of conditions that are true, and stops. So if there are multiple ...

No dashboard control, I put each message online from the sequencer. Given that it's a live talk show, topics can sometimes bounce around, and day-to-day the topics change, so being able to build the topic bars and run from the sequencer is the best way to run that. The topic bars run back-to-back ...

Hello, I'm a graphics producer for sports radio shows simulcast on television. The entire graphic basis of the show revolves around an L-frame with siderails and these topic bars I created about a year ago. I got transition logic working, but I really want to refresh these and add new elements - but ...

Update: Tried running Windows via Boot Camp, and the same dialogue persists. FWIW, I tried creating a blank quad and a basic material, saved it, and was able to open that project. Any previously created projects on other systems will give the dialogue, but projects created on the Mac will open fine. ...

Hello, our work group just switched to MacBook Pros as work computers, and I need to run Xpression Designer on it. I installed VMWare Fusion on it with the latest version of Windows 10 (1903), and when I try to open existing projects, both via networked, shared, and external USB drives, I receive an ...

Hope it's not too taboo to bring back posts from the dead, but I was wondering if anyone has worked out this much-desired ability either with time or newer versions of Xpression? I'm trying to work out some tweet graphics and would love to be able to balance word wrap with auto squeeze (height & width) ...

I've created a full screen graphic with a sponsored slate at the beginning of an in transition, which reveals tweets. I've built in basic transition logic to flip between tweets datalinq'ed with Inception in different takeID items. Then I have an out transition that closes to the same sponsor slate. ...

Actually, before I even download it, I think you'll want to remove the "no op" chosen scene director from the rules where you don't want it to use that rule.. Otherwise it will stop looking once it finds one that matches and it will just play the "no op" scenedirector. If you don't want it to play that, ...

Okay, so I considered the way it looks at the logic from the perspective of both and made separate rules for in and out for both the logo entering and exiting. However, it's running with whichever pair is at the top of the list regardless. Here's my logic list attached. Any ideas? #X ...

That's strange, I don't recall doing so, but it fixes things. Thanks for the help! While I'm at it, I'm not sure I'm understanding what "This Scene" and "Other Scene" are referring to in the Text Object condition. Is it referring to the incoming take item and the outgoing take item, respectively? ...

There's is a very good video here : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8h_qRYtICQw at 7'40 it talks about setting "Default Frame Marker" on scene directors to avoid some "pop-off visibility" : maybe it will help solve your problem ? That video mentioned making a blank scene director to make ...

I'm building a topic bar for a show in Xpression Studio 7.0 (Build 3794), and have successfully made in and out transitions. I then built animations with transition logic for when text updates in the same scene back to back. I seem to have set that up properly as the proper animation controllers run, ...
