RE: Scripting Transitions

Thank you for the suggestion. I needed to upgrade to 6.0 to get Transition Logic. After watching the tutorial, I'm still trying to figure out how to use the transition logic to fit my particular need. Scene 1 is online. I want to use a video clip to bridge over the cut to Scene 2. The video ...

Scripting Transitions

I would like to run an animation (video clip) that is the transition between two sequence items. In order words, when I take an item in the sequencer, I want an animation to come in over the template currently on air and cut underneath the animation to the next sequence item. I know there is a way to ...

RE: 3-point loop in template video

When you use "Template Links," it allows you to replace parameters of a template, either in the sequencer directly or through an outside source like a newsroom system (ENPS, iNews) or datalinq. In either case, the actual video being played has replaced the template "placeholder." In my issue here, ...

I appreciate your reply. However, the issue I'm having is that the scene director would only be able to loop the specific clip that is put on it. What do you do about a clip that is selected by the ENPS plug-in and is replacing a "dummy clip" that is on the template. A scene director can't loop a clip ...

3-point loop in template video

I use 3-point loops for animations frequently. However, that seems to work well using the scene director to make the loop. What happens when you want to use a 3-point loop on a template where the clip being looped is being dynamically changed in the newsroom system? I can't put it on the scene director, ...

Xpression Codec

Does anyone know where to get the Xpression video codec? I'd like to install it in Adobe Premiere. I have the Xpression Video Coder, but if I can encode directly to the correct codec it would save a lot of time. I've emailed the Ross Tech Support address, but they haven't responded. Thanks!

OK. I'm creating a script event to affect certain objects. My script includes: dim cand2 as xpTextObject dim cand3 as xpTextObject dim grp2 as xpbaseobject dim grp3 as xpbaseobject self.getobjectbyname("Candidate 2", cand2) self.getobjectbyname("Candidate 3", ...

That makes sense. I think I will try to add the script in the scene director and see if that works for me. Thanks! #XPression

Newsticker is writing data to the field. When I look at the item in the sequencer, all the fields are populated and I can see them. It just seems that it's bypassing the template scripts entirely. If I can't run scripts that are in the template, this is going to cause me to have other problems ...

It worked to move my scene to another layer. I changed the CII script to reflect that layer. Thanks for that. When the scene is being built by information coming to the CII gateway in this fashion, does that mean that script events on the template don't work at all? I have added things ...

What would be the scripting to make this happen with only a specific TakeID or scene? I only want this to occur with the election pages, not all CG templates that have a read command sent to the CII gateway. I had to take the script out because it was interfering with other CG pages that we use for news. ...

That worked. One small issue, however. The data changes a split second before the animation begins. Scene should look like this: Full screen animated graphic, dissolves off after 20 frames to layers animating on screen. Scene actually looks like: Current page data changes to new ...

When my election system outputs, it does a write page with the fields that fill in the template, then creates a take item ID, then does a read take item ID. When this happens the first time, all is good. Scene Director runs and everything looks good. Next page is sent while first page is online. ...

I am putting the script in the Script Editor, under OnOnline. I made the changes you suggested, and it still doesn't work properly. The animation continues to restart back at the beginning when the scene is launched. #XPression

Ok, that works when I know what the scene is going to be that's online. How do I make it variable? The online scene might one of several scenes using the same animation, or it may even be the same scene being used again back-to-back. That probably makes it a bit more complicated, and I should have been ...
