Hello all, I'm currently working on a ticker to display a list of headlines on air. The content is coming from a MS SQL-server which I'm accessing through Datalinq but I have an issue when the content gets updated. Whenever a change is made, the ticker jumps to another message in the ...

Hello all, I have to build a scene in XPression and I've hit a bump while trying to use Blending Modes. I have a bunch of slabs which will hold the name of a country. I need to highlight some countries so to do that I have added another slab which will serve as the highlight in a yellow ...

RE: [SDK] Detecting XPression running

You are correct @bderry, whenever the xpEngine is initialised, it will launch XPression, which is what I'm trying to prevent. Currently I'm checking if the XPression process is running before I start the XPression. But when I launch XPression manually, the application takes over and limits the view of ...

Thanks for your reply @bderry, but what if I only want the user to decide whether or not XPression should be running. Maybe the user is closing XPression because he wants to shutdown the PC and I don't want my application to start XPression again... #XPression

Hello all, I'm currently developing a little service to control the XPression. However it is important that the XPression remains available for the user. Right now, when I try to initialize the xpEngine, the software will launch XPression if it's not already running. But when that happens, ...

Hello all, I'm building a project in 1080p 59.94. When I'm creating animations, I'm under the impression that the playback speed is not correct. It seems faster. Could it be that I need to double the length of my animation controllers? So instead of having an 8 frame dissolve, I need ...

Hello Brian, I just uploaded from the webpage. It didn't allow me to specify a folder. It's called Transition Logic if I remember correctly. It's an XPP. #XPression

Hello all, I'm having a little issue in a projectr where I'm using Transition Logic. On one of my templates I have added an outro animation that should be played when we're moving on to another scene. However when this scene is on air and we load another scene, the outro plays fine, ...

I didn't check the actual file, I will do so tomorrow but I would imagine it to be the correct framerate yes. We only work with one standard. #XPression

Hi all, I'm currently doing a gameshow using XPression where I'm playing videoclips from inside Xpression but just as a quad and not using the server channels. I'm having an issue that after a while suddenly the clips start playing at double the speed or faster than it normally should. ...

Thanks @redmile for the suggestion, however I've tried it but I can't quite get the desired effect. I also have to use the Gaussian Blur effect to get the amount of blur that I would like but that destroys the refraction... Is there a tutorial somewhere explaining the different settings ...

Hi Garner, Thanks for your reply. I haven't had the chance yet to look into your suggestion yet until now, but the issue with your suggested solution is that I can't load it on the same framebufferlayer I think. I would have to put it on a layer on top of the scÁ¨ne I want to wipe out. Since ...

Thank you Vinz for your reply. I'm looking forward to that release. Another thing I encountered and which is pretty annoying is the lack of a way to copy SceneDirectors. Sometimes you just want to copy a scenedirector to build an alternative animation which is slightly different from the original ...
