RE: Can't Save Take ID 0 to XML

Posted By Jack Reynolds 07-19-2025 16:49

@Garner Millward Somewhat related, I think I found another issue with Take Item Numbering. The Copy Sequence Item to ID window seems to have a digit limit of 6 digits. Attempting to enter anything with 7 digits or more inserts (for example, 1005121) the new take item at 999999. Despite the fact that ...

Stop Default Group 1 from Being Created

Hi, any way to disable XPression Studio from creating take item 1 (Group 1) when the entire sequencer list is deleted? It conflicts with take items I am trying to import, and I cannot overwrite it because it is a group instead of a take item. ------------------------------ Jack Reynolds ---------- ...

Can't Save Take ID 0 to XML

Hi, confirming if this is a bug or if it is not supported - I am unable to save and reload take item 0 from an XML. When I go to import it, it shows as item 0, but in the sequencer it imports to 9910400. Any ideas? Thank you XPression 12 build 5979. ------------------------------ Jack Reynolds -- ...

I'm rendering the clips from a scene, to the clip server, then importing them into the sequencer on a different XPression. ------------------------------ Jack Reynolds ------------------------------

Hey Patrick, Thanks for your response. I actually need kind of the opposite workflow. I need an XPression studio (machine A) to render the clips to the shared clipstore, to by used by other XPression Clips instances (machines B and C). I have the take items (scenes to be rendered) in the sequencer ...

Hi Shawn, We're using Kayennes. It looks like this option I was experimenting with is not viable for us anymore, as some of our scenes use continuous animation controllers, which don't play nice with files rendered out it seems. ------------------------------ Jack Reynolds ---------------------- ...

Recall ID Based on Take ID

Hi, currently exploring a new workflow for our spotbox elements. Our elements come to us in an XPression project and have traditionally been played out of XPN Studio. I'm looking to increase the amount of control the TDs have over these elements, as well as add new channels. I am looking to use our Clipstore ...

RE: Export Take Item List to... Keyboard Bind

I could definitely be wrong, but I (think?) the sequencer starts at a 1 based index instead of a 0 based index for some reason. I appreciate the effort, but groups not being included breaks that for me. Thank you nonetheless! ------------------------------ Jack Reynolds --------------------------- ...

I've played with that, but from what I've seen, xpSequenceExporter can only export take items, groups are not included - unless I am wrong? ------------------------------ Jack Reynolds ------------------------------

Hi, was wondering if it is possible to bind the Sequencer's File>Take Item List>Export To... to a keyboard shortcut? I can only see an option for a keyboard map on the Export Take Item To..., not the entire take item list. V12 ------------------------------ Jack Reynolds ----------------------- ...

This is definitely a feature that needs to be added. Multiple pieces of an XML is a painful workflow to manage on the file side, plus it is still the same issue if we are pulling graphics out of an XML from another game/site. ------------------------------ Jack Reynolds --------------------------- ...

Shift Click on XML Import Window

Hello, trying to solve an annoyance we've had for a long time with the XPression XML Import window. Is there any way to select multiple items at a time, such as shift clicking? As of now, we manually have to click every single check box, sometimes dozens of times, for groups of items we want to specifically ...

RE: PBUS via API

To clarify - I do not need to make these changes from the Kayenne itself. I will have the XPression sitting next to me, I just am trying to avoid a drag and drop mouse movement. I'd like to just type in a takeID in the sequencer, then do some keyboard macro that could assign a take ID to a PBUS register ...

PBUS via API

We're preparing to set up an XPression as a spotbox replacement, and will be using PBUS to control it from our GVG switcher. I'd like to make a macro that lets me assign a take ID to a PBUS register instead of the drag and drop menu. Is the PBUS menu accessible via the API? I cannot find any references ...

Understood, thank you for your help. We've been using the cue function and that seems to help a bit. I'm also unsure at this point if its a datalinq delay issue or an actual rendering issue (though I assume its render, as text-only lower thirds even struggle). I'll reach out to company for help. Thanks! ...

We can't change anything about the package because it is updated/maintained by company and has weekly revisions. Hence, anything we do will get overwritten in a week. That's why we do everything (macros, etc) globally or via helper projects that we maintain. ------------------------------ Jack ...

I agree with you, however I do not have the ability to alter any scenes or anything about the project. Any changes I need to have made globally on top of the existing, hence the reason for a prerender. ------------------------------ Jack Reynolds ------------------------------
