You can add your own debug messages like this; engine.debugmonitor("message here", 0) Placing these in your code can help you find where it might be breaking and stopping. ------------------------------ Simon Redmile Senior Graphic Programmer & Designer Ross Video Bristol United Kingdom ...

I recommend activating your debug window and putting some debug messages in your script. Scripting without debug window is driving with your eyes closed. ------------------------------ Simon Redmile Senior Graphic Programmer & Designer Ross Video Bristol United Kingdom ------------------------ ...

So when changing the resolution it will convert any scenes that are 1080 to 720 I believe. In terms of I to p its about frame rate, if 30fpd becomes 60fps expression will do its best to adjust keyframes but videos may run fast or slow depending on their frame rate and continuous animations will also ...

If the 1 is a string and not a integer yes the quotes will work however you could still return 2 matching strings in which case I think XPression would still get confused about which one and even if it does return one of them how would you be sure which one it is returning. Do you know have a specific ...

I would recommend not looking through all of a sheet, it's better to make tables and look through those instead, checking the entire sheet can cause issues. Do you have multiple items which results = 1 in the sheet? Are you sure the value is an integer, have you tried checking if as a string? ...

Yeah its being reset you need somewhere to store the number. You could do this via a script on the scene director instead that increments a widget for you. Since the widget is project level not scene level it will store the number. here is a script that increments a widget Increment a widget ...

This isn't exactly what you want but it may point you in the right direction, this is to increment a keyframe on a scene director.

Because "OnRender" can be demanding I also made this version that uses "OnSetText" instead and then used a format float to reduce the decimal places so it doesn't update as often, you could use this to control how smooth the animation is as well which is pretty cool. ------------------------------ ...
