I understand that there has been an update to the AVI codec with the Xpression converter that creates a smaller file. We do batch conversions with our adobe media encoder. We got the codec from Ross years ago when we first installed Xpression. Where can I get an updated version of the codec for use ...

The standard transitions in Xpression are Cut, Dissolve, and a million pushes... there isn't a wipe or a reveal transition.. I've used those settings.. and they work just peachy on our original scenes but for some reason the video resets on the Scene 3 video scene. it's the same material in both scenes ...

Hi all .. because the Xpression won't do a reveal as part of it's bag of tricks we're faking it with a 2 part animation with moving video scene 1 (4 seconds in length) cube animates on using layer 2 to be on top of layer 1. Scene 2 (1 second in length , Layer 1) the image switches underneath Scene ...

We would like to be able to put multiple scenes into a group and play them back to back and have them access the right scene director. ...

Hi.. the visual logic worked really well. I've been able to setup 4 SD's and tied it to a dataling column (instead of a text box) The individual templates play in manual mode perfectly. when we put 10 templates together in one group on the sequencer and play the group it doesn't work. Instead they ...

Hi. I have a template that is 45 seconds long that can show 3 pages of text. First page is up for 15 seconds. then page 2 animates on and then page 3 15 seconds later. For most of the pages data we just use the first 15 seconds and the page only shows that number of frames. We go in and manually change ...

Might not be what you are looking for but... we create one scene with a background image and publish the material. we duplicate that one scene and then change the image in the template data by navigating to the file folder. for us it's really handy as we do seasonal images and videos as our backgrounds. ...

I am trying to trigger a group to play more than 24 hours away from start time. (so the timed start won't work) We use the Xpression to do a 24/7 playout at an unmanned station. At certain points I play a sequence on Layer 1 and a second sequence at the same time on layer 2. I use a timed ...
